Exhaust System: Description and Operation

3.0L DIESEL





CAUTION: Avoid application of rust prevention compounds or undercoating materials to exhaust system floor pan exhaust heat shields. Light overspray near the edges is permitted. Application of coating will result in excessive floor pan temperatures and objectionable fumes.

The diesel engine exhaust system consists of:

- Turbocharger
- Exhaust pipe
- Catalytic Converter
- Pressure differential sensor and tubing
- Diesel Oxidation Catalyst/Diesel Particulate Filter
- Muffler/Tailpipe assembly

The exhaust system must be properly aligned to prevent stress, leakage and body contact. The exhaust components should be kept a minimum of 25.4 mm (1.0 in.) away from the body and frame. If the system contacts any body panel, it may amplify objectionable noises from the engine or body.
