Warnings

WARNING

Throughout this guide, you will findwarnings identified by the warningsymbol. Warnings remind you to be

especially careful to reduce the risk ofpersonal injury.

Breaking-In Your Vehicle

Your vehicle does not need an extensive

break-in. Try not to drive continuously atthe same speed for the first 1000 miles(1600 kilometers) of new vehicleoperation. Vary your speed to allow partsto adjust themselves to other parts.

Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles(800 kilometers) before towing a trailer.Make sure you use the specified engine oil.See Technical Specifications(page 56).

Do not add friction modifier compounds

or special break-in oils during the first fewthousand miles (kilometers) of operation,since these additives may prevent pistonring seating. See Engine Oil Check(page42).

Diesel Engine Information

The diesel engine fuel system is apressurized two-stage filtration systemand consists of:

A frame-mounted Fuel and WaterSeparator primary filter with an electricfuel pump and water drain

An engine-mounted secondary fuelfilter

A fuel injector for each cylinder (8total)

A high-pressure fuel pump

3

Introduction


7/81

A high-pressure fuel rail for eachcylinder bank (2 total)

Numerous high-pressure pipes fromthe high-pressure pump to the rails,and rails to the injectors

The fuel and water separator removesboth water and impurities from the fuel.The engine mounted filter filters finerimpurities from the diesel fuel. Theengine-mounted fuel filter and the fuel andwater separator filter should be changedat the recommended service interval orwhen indicated by the information displayLOW FUEL PRESSURE message. Refer tothe scheduled maintenance information

in this supplement for more information.The fuel and water separator should bedrained at regular intervals (recommendedat every oil change) or when indicated bythe information display and water in fuelindicator light. See Fuel Quality(page14).

Proper fuel filter maintenance and promptwater draining when the water in fuel lightilluminates is essential to prevent injectionequipment damage. Ignoring the water in

fuel light can cause your vehicle to go intoa reduced power mode.

A frame-mounted electric fuel pumplocated inside the fuel and water separatordraws fuel from the fuel tank to providepressurized fuel to the engine. The fuelpump contains a pressure relief valve foroverpressure protection in the event ofrestricted flow.

The fuel injection system is controlled

through the powertrain control module.

Engine protection mode

Ford diesel engines are equipped withengine protection and emission controlsystems. These systems monitor critical

temperatures and pressures, and modifyengine operation accordingly. Thesemodified engine performancecharacteristics are normal.

If these modified engine performancecharacteristics persist for an extendedperiod and either the service engine soonor powertrain malfunction,reduced power,electronic throttle control light isilluminated, have the system checked byan authorized dealer.

Service engine soon

Powertrain malfunction, reducedpower, electronic throttle control

Lubrication system

It is important to change the engine oil atthe recommended service intervals to

maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil andfilter change interval beyond therecommended interval can negativelyaffect engine performance, fuel economyand engine life. See Engine Oil Check(page 42).

Fast start glow plug system

The diesel engine glow system consists of:

Eight glow plugs (one per cylinder)

Glow Plug Control Module Engine Coolant Temperature sensor

Barometric pressure sensor

Environmental temperature sensor

Introduction


8/81

The powertrain and glow plug controlmodules electronically control the glowplug system. After you switch the ignitionon the glow plug control moduleimmediately energizes the glow plugs. The

glow plug control module using the enginecoolant temperature, barometric pressuresensor and environmental temperaturesensor will determine how long the glowplugs stay energized. The required time forthe glow plugs to be energized decreasesas the coolant temperature, barometricpressure and environmental temperatureincrease.

Glow Plug

Engine and secondary cooling system

The cooling system contains a primarycooling loop to cool the engine andexhaust gases and a secondary coolingloop to cool the transmission, exhaustgases, charge air, and fuel. The coolantserves three primary purposes: to provideheat transfer, freeze point protection, andcorrosion protection using additives.

Vehicles with diesel engines typically areused to carry heavy loads and accumulatemileage rapidly. These two factors maycause the additives in the coolant to wearout in a shorter time. For more informationabout coolant additives and coolantchange intervals See GeneralMaintenance Information(page 58). .Operating the engine with insufficientcoolant or coolant additive can cause

severe engine damageSelective catalytic reduction system

Your vehicle is equipped with a selectivecatalytic reduction system designed toreduce emission levels of nitrogen oxidesfrom the exhaust of your diesel engine. Thissystem relies on the use of diesel exhaustfluid that you must replenish at certain

intervals. Failure to maintain proper dieselexhaust fluid levels or if the diesel exhaustfluid becomes contaminated will result invehicle speed limitations or result in yourvehicle entering an idle-only mode. See

Selective Catalytic Reduction System(page 20).

Speed control

If your vehicle speed goes outside apredetermined range from the set speed,the RSM(Resume) function will not resetyour vehicle speed. You will need to resetyour vehicle speed with the SET+or SET-button after reaching the desired speedusing the accelerator pedal.

Minor Troubleshooting Guide

If the engine wont crank

WARNING

Battery posts, terminals and relatedaccessories contain lead and leadcompounds. Wash hands after

handling.

Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim,do not go on at all or when the ignition isturned to START the lights become dim orgo out, the battery connections may beloose or corroded, or the battery may bedischarged. If there is a clicking orstuttering sound coming from the enginecompartment when you turn the key toSTART, this may also indicate a loose orcorroded battery connection.

Check the battery connections at thebattery posts, cable connection to theengine grounding point and at the starterconnection.

If you suspect a discharged battery, haveit checked and corrected.

The gearshift lever must be in P(Park)or N(Neutral) in order for the starterto operate.

Try operating the starter switch severaltimes. This operation may cleanpotentially corroded contacts or makethe switch temporarily operable untilyou can reach the dealer.

If all electrical connections are tightand you need assistance to start, referto Jump Starting in the RoadsideEmergencies chapter of your OwnersManual.

If engine cranks but wont start

Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10seconds) could cause damage to thestarter motor or the high-pressure fuelpump.

Check the fuel gauge. You may be outof fuel. If the gauge shows that thereis fuel in the tank, the trouble may bein the electrical system or the fuelsystem. If equipped with an auxiliarytank, be sure that the tank controlswitch is set for the tank with fuel and

not on an empty tank. Leaving your ignition key turned to on

for over two minutes without startingmay make starting difficult becausethe glow plugs will cease activation.Reset the system by turning the ignitionkey to off and then back to on again.

Note: If the system is out of fuel and theengine will not start, do not continuecranking the engine. Continued cranking can

damage the high-pressure fuel pump.If the engine runs hot

The following could cause the engine tooverheat:

Lack of coolant

Dirty cooling system.

Plugged radiator fins, A/C condenserand/or oil cooler

Malfunctioning fan drive

Driving with frozen coolant

Sticking thermostat Overloading or pulling heavy trailers

during hot weather

Grill or radiator air blockage

Slipping or missing drive belt

Plugged or very dirty air filter

If fuses burn out

WARNING

Replacement fuses and circuitbreakers must always be the samerating as the original equipment

shown. Never replace a fuse or circuitbreaker with one of a higher rating. Higherrated fuses or circuit breakers could allowcircuit overloading in the event of a circuitmalfunction, resulting in severe vehicledamage or personal injury due to fire.

Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicatean electrical short-circuit, although a fusemay occasionally burn out from vibration.Insert a second fuse. If this fuseimmediately burns out and you cannotlocate the cause, return your vehicle toyour dealer for a circuit check.

Refer to the Owners Manual forreplacement of fuses.

Selective catalytic reduction systemspeed limit and Idle-only modes

If the vehicles speed is limited or in anidle-only mode, the selective catalyticreduction system may be limiting thevehicles functions due to low orcontaminated diesel exhaust fluid. Checkthe diesel exhaust fluid. See SelectiveCatalytic Reduction System(page 20).

aid. Wait until the light goes off beforestarting. See Starting a Diesel Engine(page 9).

After the engine starts, the light should turnoff. The light should always momentarilyilluminate when the engine is cold and youturn the ignition to on.

Water In Fuel

During refueling, it is possible for

water-contaminated diesel fuelto be pumped into your tank.

Your vehicles fuel system is equipped witha fuel filter/water separator to removewater from the fuel. The Water In Fuel(WIF) light will illuminate when the Fueland Water Separator has a significantquantity of water in it and requiresimmediate draining.

If the water in fuel light illuminates whenthe engine is running, stop your vehicle as

soon as safely possible, shut off the engine,then drain the fuel and water separator.See Fuel Quality(page 14). Allowingwater to stay in the fuel system, after thewater in fuel light has illuminated, couldresult in extensive damage or failure of thefuel injection system.

WARNING

Do not drain the fuel and waterseparator while the engine is running.

Fuel may ignite if the separator isdrained while the engine is running or thevehicle is moving.

Note: If you drain the fuel and waterseparator while the system is running air willenter into the fuel system. The engine willnot operate properly if air enters the system.

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

Read all starting instructions carefullybefore you start your vehicle.

For temperatures below 32F (0C), theuse of the correct grade engine oil isessential for proper operation. Refer toEngine oil specifications for moreinformation. See TechnicalSpecifications(page 56).

Your vehicle may be equipped with a coldweather starting strategy that preventssevere engine damage by assisting inengine lubrication warm-up. In extremelycold ambient temperatures, this strategy

activates and prevents the acceleratorpedal from being used for 30 seconds afterstarting your vehicle. A message willappear in the information display as yourvehicle warms up. By not allowing theaccelerator pedal to be used, the engineoil is allowed to properly lubricate thebearings preventing engine damage dueto lack of proper lubrication. After the 30second warm-up period, the acceleratorpedal will be operational again and a

message will appear informing you thevehicle is ok to drive.

When starting the engine in extremely coldtemperatures (-15F [26C]), it isrecommended to allow the engine to idlefor several minutes before driving thevehicle.

Make sure the gearshift lever is in P(Park)and the parking brake is fully set beforeyou turn the key. Do not press theaccelerator during starting.

Cold Weather Starting

WARNINGS

Do not use starting fluid, such asether, in the air intake system (seeair filter decal). Such fluid could

cause immediate explosive damage to theengine and possible personal injury

WARNINGS

Do not add gasoline, gasohol, alcoholor Kerosene to diesel fuel. Thispractice creates a serious fire hazard

and causes engine performance problems.

It is recommended that the engine blockheater be used for starting when thetemperature is -10F (-23C) or colder.Refer to Engine block heater later in thischapter for more information.

When operating in cold weather,Motorcraft cetane improvers ornon-alcohol-based cetane improvers froma reputable manufacturer may be used as

needed.

Do not crank the engine for more than 10seconds as starter damage may occur. Ifthe engine fails to start, turn the key toposition 3 (off) and wait 30 secondsbefore trying again.

1. Turn the key to on without turning the

key to start. Do not start the engineuntil the glow-plug indicator turns off.

2. When the glow plug pre-heat indicatorturns off, turn the key to start andrelease the key as soon as the enginestarts. After starting the engine, theglow plugs may remain on for a period.If you do not start the engine beforethe glow plug activation time ends, youwill need to reset the glow plugs byturning the key to off.

3. After the engine starts, allow it to idlefor about 15 seconds. This is to protectthe engine. Do not increase enginespeed until the oil pressure gaugeindicates normal pressure.

Starting and Stopping the Engine


13/81

Cold Weather Operation

Note: Idling in cold weather does not heatthe engine to its normal operatingtemperature. Long periods of idling,

especially in cold weather, can cause abuildup of deposits which can cause enginedamage.

Changing to a lighter grade engine oil alsomakes starting easier under theseconditions. Refer to Engine oilspecifications. See TechnicalSpecifications(page 56).

Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for coldtemperatures. Diesel fuel which has notbeen properly formulated for the ambientconditions may gel which can clog the fuelfilters. One indication that the fuel filter(s)may be clogged is if the engine starts, stallsafter a short time, and then does notrestart. If you have been using biodiesel,you may need to use a fuel with lowerbiodiesel content, try another brand, ordiscontinue using biodiesel. Do not usealcohol based additives to correct fuelgelling. This may result in damage to thefuel injectors and system. Use the proper

anti-gel and performance improvementproduct. See Technical Specifications(page 56).

Your vehicle is equipped with a fuel andwater separator that recirculates fuel fromthe engine to help prevent fuel filterclogging. To avoid engine fuel starvationduring cold weather operation of 32F(0C) or below, we recommended thatthe fuel level in your tank should not dropbelow 14 full. This helps prevent air fromentering the fuel system and stalling theengine.

Your vehicle is equipped with a selectivecatalyst reduction system that uses dieselexhaust fluid to operate properly. You needto replenish your diesel exhaust fluid atcertain intervals. When filling your vehicles

diesel exhaust fluid tank in cold weather,you must take special care to preventdamage to the tank. See SelectiveCatalytic Reduction System(page 20).

In cold weather below 32F (0C), theengine may slowly increase to a higher idlespeed if left idling in P (Park). As the enginewarms-up, the engine sound leveldecreases due to the activation ofPCM-controlled sound reduction features.

If you operate your vehicle in a heavysnowstorm or blowing snow conditions,snow and ice can clog the engine airinduction. If this occurs, the engine mayexperience a significant reduction in poweroutput. At the earliest opportunity, clearall the snow and/or ice away from insidethe air filter assembly. Remove the aircleaner cover and the pleated paper filter,leaving the foam filter in and remove anysnow or ice. Make sure you install the foamfilter correctly in place. Remove any debris,snow or ice on the foam filter by brushingthe surface with soft brush. Once you havecleared all of the debris, reinstall the airfilter and assembly.

Do not use water, solvents, or a hard brushfor cleaning the foam filter.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of vehicle damageand/or personal burn injuries do not

start your engine with the air filterremoved and do not remove it while theengine is running.

14/81

In order to operate the engine intemperatures of 32F (0C) or lower, readthe following instructions:

Make sure that the batteries are ofsufficient size and are fully charged.Check other electrical components tomake sure they are in optimumcondition

Use the proper coolant solution at theconcentration recommendedprotecting the engine against damagefrom freezing

Try to keep the fuel tank full as muchas possible at the end of operation toprevent condensation in the fuel

system Make sure you use proper cold weather

engine oil and that it is at its properlevel. Also, if necessary, make sure tofollow the engine oil and filter changeschedule found under the Specialoperating conditions section listed inthe scheduled maintenanceinformation

At temperatures of -10F (-23C) orbelow, it is recommended that you use

an engine block heater to improve coldengine starting

If operating in arctic temperatures of-20F (-29C) or lower, consult yourtruck dealer for information aboutspecial cold weather equipment andprecautions

The following cold weather idlingguidelines are recommended:

You can use Motorcraft cetane

improvers or non-alcohol-basedcetane improvers from a reputablemanufacturer as needed.

Maintain the engine cooling systemproperly.

Avoid shutting the engine down afteran extensive idling period. Drive yourvehicle for several miles with theengine at normal operatingtemperatures under a moderate load.

Consider using an engine block heater.

For extended idle times use anapproved idle speed increase device.

Winter Operating Tips for ArcticOperation -20F (-29C) and Below

The following information is a guidelineonly and is no to be the only source ofpossible solutions in resolving extremecold temperature issues.

Starting Aids

WARNING

Do not use starting fluid, such asether, in the air intake system (seeair filter decal). Such fluid could

cause immediate explosive damage to theengine and possible personal injury.

The use of the factory engine block heater

assists in engine starting in extreme coldambient temperatures. Refer to Engineblock heater in the Starting and Stoppingthe Engine chapter of your OwnersManual.

Idle Control

Your vehicle may have a factory option fora stationary elevated idle control throughdash-mounted upfitter switches thatallows the operator to elevate the idle rpm

for extended idle periods, as well asaftermarket equipment such as PTOoperation. You must configure this featureeven if ordered from the factory. See yourauthorized dealer for required upfitting.

15/81

Operation in Snow and Rain

Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall orextreme rain conditions may feedexcessive amounts of snow or water into

the air intake system. This could plug theair filter with snow and may cause theengine to lose power and possibly shutdown.

We recommend the following actions afteroperating your vehicle up to 200 miles(320 kilometers) in snowfall or extremerain:

Snow: At the earliest opportunity, openthe hood and clear all the snow and icefrom the air filter housing inlet (do notremove the foam filter) and reset theair filter restriction gauge.

Note: Removal of the foam filter degradesyour vehicle performance during snow andhot weather conditions.

Extreme rain: The air filter dries afterabout 1530 minutes at highwayspeeds. At the earliest opportunity,open the hood and reset the air filterrestriction gauge.

Refer to Air filter and restriction gauge inthe Maintenance chapter for moreinformation. See Changing the EngineAir Filter(page 49).

Operation in Standing Water

Ingestion of water into the diesel enginecan result in immediate and severedamage to the engine. If driving throughwater, slow down to avoid splashing waterinto the intake. If the engine stalls, and yoususpect ingestion of water into the engine,do not try to restart the engine. Consultyour dealer for service immediately.

Your fuel tank vents to the atmosphere byvalves on top of the tank and through thefuel cap. If water reaches the top of thetank, the valves may pull water into thefuel tank. Water in the fuel can cause

performance issues and damage the fuelinjection system.

SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

Turn the ignition to the off position.

To prolong engine life (especially afterextended high speed, high ambienttemperature, or high GVW/GCW operation,such as heavy loads or heavy trailers), it is

recommended that a hot engine be idledfor 3-5 minutes. This allows theturbocharged engine to cool down. Formore information on GVW/GCW, see theLoad Carrying chapter in your OwnersManual.

ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN

Your vehicle may be equipped with anengine idle shutdown system. This systemautomatically shuts down your enginewhen it has been idling in P(Park) or N(Neutral) for five minutes (parking brakeset) or 15 minutes (parking brake not set).When the engine idle shutdown processhas started:

A chime sounds and the informationdisplay will show ENGINE TURNS OFFIN 30 (seconds) and start countingdown

You can restart the five or 15-minutetimer by changing the position of theaccelerator pedal, brake pedal or thepark brake within the final 30 seconds

When the timer reaches zero, theengine shuts down and this messagewill appear in your information displayENGINE TURNED OFF

12



16/81

One minute after the engine has shutdown, the electrical system simulateskey off, even though the ignition is stillin the on position, initiating normalaccessory delay period

You must move the ignition to the offposition to reset the system beforerestarting your vehicle.

The engine idle shutdown idle timer doesnot start if:

The engine is operating in powertake-off mode.

The engine coolant temperature isbelow 60F (16C).

The exhaust emission control device isregenerating.

FUEL QUALITY

Fuel Requirements - Choosing TheRight Fuel: Vehicles Operated

Where Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel FuelIs Required (UnitedStates/Canada/Puerto Rico/U.S.Virgin Islands And Other Locales)

Note: Your warranty will not cover damagecaused by using an improper type of fuel orfuel additive.

Note: Do not blend used engine oil withdiesel fuel under any circumstances.Blending used oil with the fuel willsignificantly increase your vehicles exhaustemissions and reduce engine life due toincreased internal wear.

You should use Ultra-Low Sulfur Dieselfuel (also known as ULSD) designated asnumber 1-D or 2-D with a maximum of15-ppm sulfur in your diesel vehicle. Youmay operate your vehicle on diesel fuelscontaining up to 20% biodiesel, alsoknown as B20. These fuels should meetthe ASTM D975 diesel or the ASTM D7467

B6-B20 biodiesel industry specifications.Outside of North America, use fuelsmeeting EN590 or equivalent local marketstandard.

Using low sulfur diesel fuel(16-500 ppm) or high sulfurdiesel fuel (greater than 500

ppm) in your diesel engine will causecertain emission components tomalfunction which may also cause theservice engine soon light to illuminate

indicating an emissions-related concern.Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for coldtemperature. For best results attemperatures below 20F (-7C), it isrecommended to use a diesel fuel whichhas been seasonally adjusted for theambient conditions.

Fuel Requirements - Choosing TheRight Fuel: Vehicles OperatedWhere Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel FuelIs Not Required

For the engine to operate reliably onlow-sulfur or high-sulfur diesel fuel, theengine must be a factory built high-sulfurengine (available as a dealer order optionfor select markets) or an ultra low sulfurdiesel fuel configured engine that has beenretrofitted for high-sulfur diesel fuel usingFord Motor Company dealer service parts.Failure to use retrofit components otherthan those available through yourauthorized dealer will result in coolant

system damage, engine overheating,selective catalyst reduction system ordiesel particulate filter damage andpossible base engine damage.

Use only a diesel engine configured for usewith high sulfur diesel fuel in markets withdiesel fuel that has sulfur content greaterthan 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel(16500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel(greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel enginedesigned to use only Ultra Low Sulfur

Diesel fuel may result in damage to engineemission control devices and theaftertreatment system, potentiallyrendering the vehicle inoperable.

Vehicles with engines configured for usewith high sulfur diesel fuel are onlyavailable for sale in countries where ultralow sulfur diesel fuel is generally notavailable or mandated by the government.Vehicles originally sold in a ultra low sulfurdiesel fuel market that are subsequently

exported to non- ultra low sulfur diesel fuelmarkets will need to be retrofitted (at thecustomers expense using Ford authorizeddealer service parts) in order to be reliablyoperated on non- ultra low sulfur dieselfuel.

Biodiesel

WARNING

Do not use home heating oil,agricultural fuel, raw fats and oils,waste cooking greases, biodiesel

fuels greater than 20% or any diesel fuelnot intended for highway use. Damage tothe fuel injection system, engine andexhaust catalyst can occur if an improperfuel is used. Do not add gasoline, gasoholor alcohol to diesel fuel. This practicecreates a serious fire hazard and engineperformance problems.

You may operate your vehicle on dieselfuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, alsoknown as B20.

Biodiesel fuel is a chemically convertedproduct from renewable fuel sources, suchas vegetable oils, animal fats and wastecooking greases.

To help achieve acceptable engineperformance and durability when usingbiodiesel in your vehicle:

Confirm the biodiesel content of thefuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less

Only use biodiesel fuel of good qualitythat complies with industry standards

Follow the recommended servicemaintenance intervals. See GeneralMaintenance Information(page 58).

Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fueltank for more than 1 month

Consider changing brands or reducing

biodiesel content if you have coldtemperature fuel gelling issues or afrequent LOW FUEL PRESSUREmessage appearing

Do NOT use raw oils, fats or wastecooking greases

Use of biodiesel in concentrations greaterthan 20% may cause damage to yourvehicle, including engine and/or exhaustafter-treatment hardware (exhaustcatalyst and particulate filter) failures.

Concentrations greater than 20% can alsocause fuel filter restrictions that may resultin a lack of power or damage to fuelsystem components, including fuel pumpand fuel injector failures.

SAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 oil isrecommended for fuels with greater than5% biodiesel (B5). Refer to the Specialoperating conditions section under theSchedule Maintenance chapter for moreinformation about oil change intervals andother maintenance when operating onbiodiesel.

Look for a label on the fuel pump toconfirm the amount of biodiesel containedin a diesel fuel. Biodiesel content is oftenindicated with the letter B followed by thepercent of biodiesel in the fuel. Forexample, B20 indicates a fuel containing20% biodiesel. Ask the service stationattendant to confirm the biodiesel contentof a diesel fuel if you do not see a label onthe fuel pump.

Biodiesel fuels degrade more easily thandiesel fuels not containing biodiesel andshould not be stored in the fuel tank formore than 1 month. If you plan to park orstore your vehicle for more than 1 month,then you should empty your vehicle fueltank of biodiesel fuel. You should fill thetank with a pure petroleum-based dieselfuel and run your vehicle for a minimum of

30 minutes.Note: Degraded or oxidized biodiesel candamage fuel system seals and plastics andcorrode steel parts.

During cold weather, if you have problemsoperating on biodiesel, you may need touse a diesel fuel with lower biodieselcontent, try another brand, or discontinuethe use of biodiesel.

Diesel Fuel Additives

It should not be necessary to add anyaftermarket additives to your fuel if youuse a high quality diesel fuel that conforms

to ASTM industry specifications.Aftermarket additives can damage the fuelinjector system or engine.

Use Motorcraft cetane booster or anequivalent cetane booster additive if yoususpect fuel has low cetane. UseMotorcraft anti-gel & performanceimprover or an equivalent additive if thereis fuel gelling.

Do not use alcohol-based additives toimprove cetane quality, to prevent fuelgelling or any other use. The use of alcoholadditives may result in damage to the fuelinjectors and system. See TechnicalSpecifications(page 56).

Your warranty may not cover repairsneeded to correct the effects of using anaftermarket product that does not meetFord specifications in your fuel.

Note: Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel isdesigned to meet the emissions standards

for the 6.7L engine and is backwardcompatible as well (for example, it can beused in the 7.3L, 6.9L, 6.4L and 6.0L dieselengines in Ford vehicles.

Fuel And Water Separator

Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel fuelconditioner module located on theframe-rail under the driver-side floorboardnear the transmission.

You should drain water from themodule assembly whenever thewarning light comes on and the

message center directs you to drain thewater separator. This will occur when

approximately 0.32 pints (150 ml) of wateraccumulates in the module. If you allowthe water level to exceed this level, thewater may pass through to the engine andmay cause fuel injection equipmentdamage.

Draining the Diesel Fuel ConditionerModule (DFCM)

WARNING

Your vehicle must be stopped withthe engine off when draining theDiesel Fuel Conditioner Module. Fuel

may ignite if the separator is drained whilethe engine is running or vehicle is moving.

Note: If you drain the diesel fuel conditionermodule while the system is running air willenter into the fuel system. The engine willnot operate properly if air enters the system.

Note: With fuel tank levels above 34 tankit may be necessary to loosen the bowl 3turns before opening the drain. This willactuate an anti-siphon valve at the fuel andwater separator inlet and prevent the fuelfrom siphoning out of the tank.

Note:A loose drain valve can allow air toenter the fuel system and cause drivetrainissues. The engine will not operate properly.Be sure that you fully tighten the drain valve.

1. Stop your vehicle and shut off theengine.

2. Locate the diesel fuel conditionermodule and place an appropriatecontainer under the drain port.

Low Fuel Pressure

The engine is equipped with a low fuelpressure detection system. Here are somepossible causes if a low fuel pressuremessage appears in the informationdisplay:

Cold start or during cold operation(below 32F (0C): If the low fuelpressure message appears during acold start or up to 10 minutes after theinitial cold start, monitor theinformation display. If the low fuelpressure message disappears and doesnot re-appear after the engine has fullywarmed up, waxed or gelled fuel is

what most likely caused the message.Do not use alcohol based additives tocorrect fuel gelling. This may result indamage to the fuel injectors andsystems. Use an anti-gel additive. See

Technical Specifications(page 56).

Note: Your customer warranty may be voidfrom using additives that do not meet orexceed Ford specifications. If the low fuelpressure message persistently appears afterre-fueling during the cold start and coldoperation conditions defined previously andthen disappear when the engine has fullywarmed up, consider different fuel sources.

Low fuel operation: If the low fuel

pressure message appears when yourvehicle is warm and during low fueltank level operation (near empty),refuel your vehicle. If the messagereappears after fueling, see below. Ifthe message does not come back, thelow fuel pressure condition was due tolow fuel levels in the fuel tank.

Normal operation: If the low fuelpressure message appears duringnormal operation when the engine is

fully warm, and fuel level is not low,you must change the fuel filtersregardless of the maintenanceschedule interval.

If replacement of the fuel filter doesnot remedy the low fuel pressuremessage during normal operation asdefined above, take the vehicle to anauthorized dealer.

Changing the Engine-Mounted and

Diesel Fuel Conditioner Module FuelFilters

Your vehicle is equipped with two fuelfilters. The first filter mounts on top of theengine on the drivers side. The secondfilter, inside the diesel fuel conditionermodule, is mounted on the frame rail underthe drivers side floorboard near thetransmission. You should replace both

The engine-mounted fuel filter is a plasticdisposable cartridge. To remove it, do thefollowing:

E163363

1. Disconnect both fuel lines by squeezingthe connector tabs and pulling the linesstraight off.

E163364

Note:Although the fuel system is not fullypressurized when the vehicle is off, someresidual pressure may remain in the fuelsystem since it can take some time for thepressure to completely bleed off. Therefore,

we recommend you place a shop rag belowthe filter connectors to absorb the smallamount of fuel that will drain.

2. Rotate the filter fully counterclockwiseuntil the peg is at the far end of the slot.

3. Pull the filter straight up from thebracket and discard the filter.

Installation Engine-mounted fuelfilter

1. Install the new filter into the filterbracket. Turn the filter clockwise tolock it in place.

2. Reconnect both fuel lines.

Note: Using a fuel that has more thanaverage impurities may require you toreplace the fuel filter more frequently thanthe service interval specifies.

Note: You will need to purge the system ofair after removal or changing of the filter.

See purging air from the fuel system laterin this chapter.

Purging air from the fuel system

Turn the ignition key to on for 30 seconds,then turn it to off. Do this six times in a rowto purge any trapped air from the fuelsystem.

After filter service, a no start or roughrunning engine may indicate that air is

entering the system through the filter bowlseal or drain. Make sure the drain is tightand you tightened the filter bowl to themechanical stop.

SELECTIVE CATALYTICREDUCTION SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with a selective

catalytic reduction system to help reduceemission levels of oxides of nitrogen fromthe exhaust of the diesel engine. Thesystem automatically injects dieselexhaust fluid into the exhaust system toenable proper selective catalytic reductionfunction.

Importance of maintaining theDiesel Exhaust Fluid level

In order for the selective catalytic reduction

system to operate properly, the dieselexhaust fluid level must be maintained.Generally, the diesel exhaust fluid tankshould be filled during the oil changeservice interval. See GeneralMaintenance Information(page 58).However, certain conditions or drivingstyles, such as trailer towing or fast ratesof acceleration, will require the refilling ofthe diesel exhaust fluid tank more often.

The engine control unit will monitor the

amount of fluid available in the dieselexhaust fluid tank. Running a system checkin the message center will indicate whetherthe diesel exhaust fluid level is ok or if it isless than 1/2 full. A message will display inthe message center when the dieselexhaust fluid level is low and needs to berefilled. When you see this message, youshould refill your tank. See the Informationdisplays chapter of your Owners Manualfor information display functions. For

instructions on refilling your diesel exhaustfluid tank, see filling the diesel exhaustfluid tank in this supplement.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid warningmessages and vehicle operations

WARNINGS

Diesel exhaust fluid must be refilledwhen low or replaced whencontaminated or the vehicle speed

will be speed limited to 50 mph (80 km/h).In these conditions, drive with caution andrefill diesel exhaust fluid immediately. Ifthe diesel exhaust fluid becomes emptyor contaminated and fluid is not replaced,your vehicle will become limited to idlespeed only once stopped. In theseconditions, be cautious where you stopyour vehicle because you may not be able

to drive long distances and will not be ableto maintain highway speeds until dieselexhaust fluid is refilled or replaced.

Tampering or disabling your vehiclesexhaust aftertreatment system willresult in severe vehicle performance

limitation including eventual speed limitingto 5 mph.

Your vehicles information display will

display a series of messages regarding theamount of diesel exhaust fluid available.A systems check will display messagesindicating the amount of diesel exhaustfluid available (OK or under 12 full) or willproduce a warning message that displaysthe mileage (kilometers) remaining as thefluid in the diesel exhaust fluid tank nearsempty.

Continued driving without refilling willresult in the following actions as requiredby the California Air Resources Board(CARB) and the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA):

Within a certain number of miles(kilometers) to empty, speed will belimited upon vehicle restart. Prior tothis occurring a message will appear inthe information display.

Further vehicle operation withoutrefilling your diesel exhaust fluid tankwill cause the engine to enter anidle-only condition. This will only occurupon vehicle refueling or at an

extended idle. A message will indicatethe required actions to resume normaloperation. It is required to add aminimum of 0.5 gallons (1.9L) of dieselexhaust fluid to the tank to exit theidle-only condition, but your vehicle willstill be in the speed-limiting mode untilyou refill the tank completely.

For either vehicle speed limiting or idle-onlycondition, normal vehicle operation willresume when you refill the diesel exhaustfluid tank.

Note: When filling the diesel exhaust fluidtank from empty, there may be a short delaybefore detecting the increased level of fluid.The increased level detection must occurbefore your vehicle returns to full power.

6. Once the level in the diesel exhaustfluid bottle has stopped dropping,return the container to the verticalposition slightly below the dieselexhaust fluid filler port and let any

diesel exhaust fluid drain out of thespout. DO NOT try to continue to adddiesel exhaust fluid to the tank byshaking or repositioning the containerto induce flow. This may cause spillingand overfill the tank. Overfilling thediesel exhaust fluid tank can causedamage to the tank.

7. Once the spout has drained, removethe spout from the diesel exhaust fluidfiller port and install the blue cap on

the diesel exhaust fluid filler port.

8. Remove the spout from the dieselexhaust fluid container and install thecap back on the bottle.

9. If the container is empty, discard theempty container, or recycle if possible.If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in thecontainer, retain it for later use. Thespout is re-useable; after use, rinse itwith clean water and store the spout

to keep it clean. Do not use the dieselexhaust fluid spout with any otherchemicals.

10. Wipe away any diesel exhaust fluidthat has spilled on painted surfaceswith water and a damp cloth.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid filling station nozzlefill

Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank usinga nozzle is similar to a normal fuel fill. The

nozzle will shut off automatically when thetank is full. Do not continue to fill the tankas this may cause spilling and overfill cancause damage to the tank.

Note:Some filling station nozzles mayprevent filling of your diesel exhaust fluidtank due to a magnetic mechanism in thenozzle. This is not a problem with yourvehicle. To refill your tank either locate

another filling station or use a bottle to refillthe tank.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank incold climates

Diesel exhaust fluid will freeze below 12F(-11C); however, your vehicle is equippedwith an automatic preheating systemwhich allows the diesel exhaust fluidsystem to operate below 12F (-11C).When your vehicle is not in operation for

an extended period with temperatures ator below 12F (-11C), the diesel exhaustfluid tank could freeze. If the tank isOVERFILLED and freezes, it could bedamaged, therefore DO NOT OVERFILL.

To prevent overfilling of the diesel exhaustfluid tank when filling with a bottle, Fordrecommends using Motorcraft dieselexhaust fluid. Additionally, if theinformation display indicates EXHAUSTFLUID UNDER 1/2 FULL, you should onlyadd a MAXIMUM of 2 gallons (6.7L) ofdiesel exhaust fluid to the tank to preventfreeze damage due to overfilling. If theinformation display indicates EXHAUSTFLUID LEVEL OK, do not add dieselexhaust fluid.

Fueling Tips

WARNING

Do not use starting fluid such as

ether or gasoline in the diesel airintake system. Such fluids can causeimmediate explosive damage to the engineand possible personal injury.

Truck stops have pumps and nozzlesdesigned for larger, heavy-duty trucks.When refueling at truck stops: if the nozzleshuts off repeatedly when refueling, wait510 seconds; then use a slower rate offlow (dont depress the nozzle trigger as

far).

If air is allowed to enter the fuel system(during fuel filter change or if you run outof fuel) the engine will purge the trappedair as it runs. To purge the air sooner: priorto engine start, prime the system by turningthe key to on for 30 seconds then to off.Repeat this several times. The engine mayrun rough and produce white smoke while

air is in the system. This is normal.An engine that suddenly becomes noisy oroperates poorly after a fuel fill could beusing substandard fuel (for example, highwater content, low cetane rating orgasoline in the fuel). You should purchasediesel fuel from a reputable station thatsells a large amount of diesel fuel.

Use only clean, approved containers thatwill prevent the entry of dirt or waterwhenever you store diesel fuel.

Diesel fuel must not be stored in agalvanized container. The fuel will dissolvethe zinc in the galvanized container. Thezinc will then remain in the fuel. If you runthe contaminated fuel through the engine,the zinc will deposit in the fuel injectorscausing expensive-to-repair damage.

32/81

Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate

Your truck is equipped with a fuel fill pipethat is able to accept fuel up to 20 gallonsper minute from an 118 fuel-dispensing

nozzle. Pumping fuel at greater flow ratesmay result in premature nozzle shut-off orspit back.

Fuel filler cap

WARNINGS

The fuel system may be underpressure. If the fuel filler cap isventing vapor or if you hear a hissing

sound, wait until it stops before completelyremoving the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuelmay spray out and injure you or others.

If you do not use the proper fuel fillercap, excessive pressure or vacuumin the fuel tank may damage the fuel

system or cause the fuel cap to disengagein a collision, which may result in possiblepersonal injury.

Note: If you must replace the fuel filler cap,replace it with a fuel filler cap designed for

your vehicle. The vehicle warranty may bevoid for any damage to the fuel tank or fuelsystem if the correct genuine Ford orMotorcraft fuel filler cap is not used.

Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexeddesign with a 1/4 turn on/off feature.

When fueling your vehicle:

1. Turn the engine off.

2. Carefully turn the filler capcounterclockwise until it spins off.

3. Pull to remove the cap from the fuelfiller pipe.

4. To install the cap, align the tabs on thecap with the notches on the filler pipe.

5. Turn the filler cap clockwise 1/4 of aturn until it clicks at least once.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

Diesel Exhaust System: OxidationCatalyst And Diesel Particulate

Filter System(If Equipped)

Your vehicle is equipped with a dieselparticulate filter. The diesel particulatefilter is an inline filter in the exhaust systemthat reduces carbon emissions by trappingexhaust particles before they reach thetailpipe. The diesel particulate filter lookssimilar to a traditional exhaust catalyst,except larger, and is part of the exhaustsystem under the vehicle. The filter couplesto a diesel oxidation catalyst that reduces

the amount of harmful exhaust emittedfrom the tailpipe. As soot gathers in thesystem, it begins to restrict the filter. Youneed to periodically clean the soot thatgathers inside the. You can clean the sootin two different ways, passive regenerationand active regeneration. Both methodsoccur automatically and require no actionsfrom the driver. During either one of theseregeneration methods, you may notice achange in exhaust tone. At certain times,

the information display will display variousmessages related to the diesel particulatefilter. See the Information Displays chapterin the Owner Guide for more information.

Passive regeneration

In passive regeneration, the hightemperature of the exhaust systemautomatically cleans the filter, or reducesthe soot level, by burning (oxidizing) thesoot. This high exhaust temperature occurs

naturally because of normal engineoperating conditions (at varying levels, dueto driving patterns.

Diesel particulate filter maintenance

You must properly maintain your dieselparticulate filter in order for it to functionproperly. Do not disregard theEXHAUST

OVERLOADED DRIVE TO CLEANandEXHAUST AT LIMIT DRIVE TO CLEANNOWmaintenance messages otherwisesystem damage could result that yourwarranty may not cover.

Failure to perform active or operatorcommanded regeneration when instructedmight result in a clogged diesel particulatefilter that your dealer cannot clean. If yourdiesel particulate filter fills beyond whatcan safely be regenerated, active

regeneration and operator commandedregeneration will be disabled. This couldresult in irreversible damage to the filterrequiring replacement that your warrantymay not cover. If your vehicle is notequipped with operator commandedregeneration, check with your dealer foravailability.

Once the diesel particulate filter is full ofexhaust particles, the engine controlmodule will command the exhaust system

to clean the filter through a process calledactive regeneration. Active regenerationrequires the engine computer to raise theexhaust temperature to eliminate theparticles. During cleaning, the particlesconvert to harmless gasses. Once cleanedthe diesel particulate filter will then beready to continue trapping exhaustparticles.

The regeneration process operates moreefficiently when you safely operate yourvehicle at least 30 mph (48 km/h) with asteady pedal for approximately 20 minutesto complete the process. The frequencyand duration of regeneration will fluctuateby how you drive your vehicle, outside airtemperature, and altitude. For most driving,regeneration frequency will vary from 100

- 500 miles (161 - 805 km) betweenoccurrences and each occurrence will lastfrom 9 - 20 minutes. You can usuallyreduce the duration of regeneration if youmaintain a constant speed above 30 mph

(48 km/h).

When the engine control module detectsthat the diesel particulate filter is nearlyfull of particulates and you are notoperating your in a manner to alloweffective automatic cleaning, theinformation display will display EXHOVERLOADED DRIVE TO CLEANforbase information display and ExhaustOverloaded Drive to Cleanfor theoptional information display.

You can also choose operator commandedregeneration to clean the exhaust systemat this point. See How to start operatorcommanded regeneration later in thischapter.

If you are not able to drive in a manner thatallows effective automatic cleaning (activeregeneration) or you choose to performregeneration of the diesel particulate filter(cleaning) while at idle (stationary), thenoperator commanded regeneration wouldneed to be performed. See operator

Operator commandedregeneration allows you to manually startregeneration of the diesel particulate filterat idle (while stationary) to clean the filter.If you are not sure whether your vehicle isequipped with this feature, contact anauthorized dealer.

When to perform Operator CommandedRegeneration

Use the Operator CommandedRegeneration feature when the EXHOVERLOADED DRIVE TO CLEANmessage appears in the informationdisplay and:

the operator is not able to drive inmanner that allows effectiveautomatic cleaning (active

Operator Commanded Regenerationprecautions and safe exhaust position

WARNING

Failure to comply with the following

instructions for operatorcommanded regeneration may result

in fire, serious injury, death and/or propertydamage.

Before you start operator commandedregeneration, do the following:

Place your vehicle in P(Park) with theparking brake set on stable, levelground

You must park your vehicle outside ofany structure

Your vehicle must be 10 15 feet (3 5 meters) away from any obstructionsand must be away from materials thatcan easily combust or melt (forexample, paper, leaves, petroleumproducts, fuels, plastics and other dryorganic material)

Make sure there is a minimum of 1/8tank of fuel

Make sure all fluids are at proper levels

Make sure that the louvers (holes) locatedat the tip of the exhaust are also clear ofany obstructions as they are used tointroduce fresh air into the tailpipe to coolthe exhaust gas as it leaves. See Cleaningthe Exhaust(page 53).

How to start Operator CommandedRegeneration

WARNING

Stay clear of exhaust tip duringregeneration. You or others can beburned.

Note: You cannot use the operatorcommanded regeneration until the dieselparticulate filter load percentage hasreached 100% (Full). The diesel particulatefilter load percentage will fluctuate up anddown when driving your vehicle due to active

Once operator commanded regenerationstarts, the engines rpm will rise toapproximately 2,000 - 2,400 rpm and thecooling fan will increase speed; you willhear a change in audible sound due to the

fan and engine speed increase.

It is not necessary to open the hood on theengine compartment. Once operatorcommanded regeneration is complete, theengine rpm and fan will return to normalidling. The exhaust system will remain veryhot for several minutes even afterregeneration is complete. Do not repositionthe vehicle over materials that could burnuntil the exhaust system has had sufficienttime to cool. Depending on the amount ofsoot collected by the diesel particulatefilter, ambient temperature, and altitude,operator commanded regeneration maylast from 10 to 25 minutes.

How to interrupt or cancel OperatorCommanded Regeneration

If you need to cancel the operatorcommanded regeneration, pressing thebrake, accelerator, or shutting off thevehicle will stop the procedure. Dependingon the amount of time you allowed theoperator commanded regeneration tooperate, soot may not have had sufficienttime to be eliminated, but the exhaustsystem and exhaust gas may still be hot.If you shut your vehicle off during operatorcommanded regeneration, you will noticeturbo flutter. This is a normal consequencecaused by shutting off a diesel engineduring boosted operation and is considerednormal.

Filter service and maintenance

Resonator and Tailpipe assemblymaintenance

WARNINGS

Failure to maintain the functionalholes, in the tailpipe section of theexhaust, clean and free of debris or

foreign material may result in the holesbecoming blocked or plugged. Do notmodify or remove the tail-pipe section.Blocked or plugged holes orremoval/modification of the system couldresult in elevated exhaust gastemperatures which may result invehicle/property damage or personal

injury.

The normal operating temperatureof the exhaust system is very high.Never work around or attempt to

repair any part of the exhaust system untilit has cooled. Use special care whenworking around the diesel oxidationcatalytic converter and/or the dieselparticulate filter (DPF). The diesel

WARNINGS

oxidation catalytic converter and/or theDPF heats up to a high temperature afteronly a short period of engine operation and

can stay hot even after the engine is turnedoff. Failure to follow these instructions mayresult in personal injury.

Note:Additions of aftermarket devices ormodifications to the exhaust system canreduce the effectiveness of the exhaustsystem as well as cause damage to theexhaust system or engine. These actionsmay also affect your vehicles warranty. Seethe Warranty Guide for more information.

The diesel resonator tail-pipe assembly isa uniquely functioning device thataccompanies the diesel particulate filterassembly. The tail-pipe assembly servesmultiple functions. First, it serves as anacoustic device to attenuate exhaust noise.Second, it provides an exit path for theexhaust from your vehicle. It also helpscontrol the temperature of the exhaustduring diesel particulate filter regenerationevents. The visible holes in each leg of the

twin tip and the holes under the shield justinboard of the right rear tire(s) arefunctional. You need to keep the holesclear of mud, debris or foreign material tomaintain proper function of the exhaustsystem. Clean and remove debris or foreignmaterial if present as needed. Sprayingwith a hose during regular washing of yourvehicle should help keep holes clean andclear of debris or foreign material.
