MOUNTED AND DIESEL FUEL
CONDITIONER MODULE FUEL
FILTERS - 6.7L DIESEL WARNING:
Do not dispose of fuel
in the household refuse or the public
sewage system. Use an authorized waste
disposal facility.
Your vehicle has two fuel filters. The first
filter mounts on top of the engine on the
left-hand side. The second filter is inside
the diesel fuel conditioner module. The
module is attached to the fuel tank in
different locations depending on the
configuration of your truck. See table
below for configurations.
Note: The module is at the front of the fuel
tank or at the front of the aft-axle fuel tank
on some models.
Regular fuel filter changes are an
important part of engine maintenance;
failing to keep with the scheduled
maintenance could lead to engine
performance issues and fuel injection
system damage. See
Scheduled
Maintenance (page 565).
Use only recommended service parts
conforming to specifications. See
Motorcraft Parts
(page 443).
Note: Using fuel that has high levels of
impurities may require more frequent filter
replacements than the service interval
specifies.

Engine-mounted Fuel Filter
Although the fuel system is not fully
pressurized when the vehicle is off, some
residual pressure may remain in the fuel
system since it can take some time for the
pressure to completely bleed off.
Therefore, we recommend you place an
absorbent cloth below the filter connectors
to absorb any fuel that may drain.
The engine-mounted fuel filter is a plastic
disposable cartridge.
Removal
1.
Disconnect the fuel lines by squeezing
the connector tabs and pulling the lines
straight off. 2.
Rotate the filter fully counterclockwise
until the peg is at the far end of the slot.
3. Pull the filter straight up from the bracket and discard the filter.
Note: No special air purge is necessary after
filter servicing. The fuel system purges the
air in the filters.
Installation
1. Install the new filter into the filter bracket. Turn the filter clockwise to
lock it in place.
2. Reconnect the fuel lines.
3. Switch the ignition on for 30 seconds and then switch the ignition off.
Repeat this operation six times in a row
to purge any trapped air from the fuel
system.

CLEANING THE EXHAUST -
6.7L DIESEL WARNING: Failure to maintain the
functional holes, in the tailpipe section
of the exhaust, clean and free of debris
or foreign material may result in the
holes becoming blocked or plugged. Do
not modify or remove the tail-pipe
section. Blocked or plugged holes or
removal/modification of the system
could result in elevated exhaust gas
temperatures which may result in
vehicle/property damage or personal
injury. WARNING:
The normal operating
temperature of the exhaust system is
very high. Never work around or attempt
to repair any part of the exhaust system
until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and/or the diesel
particulate filter (DPF). The diesel
oxidation catalytic converter and/or the
DPF heats up to a high temperature after
only a short period of engine operation
and can stay hot even after the engine
is turned off. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury. The visible holes in the exhaust tip and the
holes under the shield just inboard of the
right rear tire(s) are functional. The holes
need to be kept clear of mud/debris or
foreign material to maintain proper
function of the exhaust system. Clean and
remove debris or foreign material if present
as needed. Spraying with a hose during
regular washing of vehicle should help
keep holes clean and clear of debris or
foreign material.
CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.

Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (If Equipped)
Note: Additional equipment may be
required for your vehicle to support trailer
tire pressure monitoring. See your authorized
dealer for more information.
Note: The trailer tire pressure monitoring
system is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance. It is your responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressures at all times.
Note: If a trailer tire is repaired, replaced or
broken down for service, the screw and valve
on the trailer tire pressure sensor should be
replaced. See your authorized dealer for
details. The trailer tire pressure monitoring system
is an added safety feature that allows you
to view your trailer tire pressures through
the information display.
See General
Information (page 110). Tire pressure
sensors are mounted into each tire on your
trailer. The sensors send a message to your
vehicle indicating the current trailer tire
pressure.
If the trailer tire pressure monitoring
system detects that a tire is low, a warning
message appears in the information
display. The trailer tire pressure status
screen in the information display highlights
the tire with a low pressure.
The main function of the trailer tire
pressure monitoring system is to warn you
when your trailer tires need air. It can also
warn you in the event the system is no
longer capable of functioning as intended.
See
Information Messages (page 121).
When a Temporary Spare or New Tire
is Installed
If you have replaced a trailer tire with a new
or spare tire, a warning message appears
and pressure readings are no longer
displayed for that tire.
To restore the full function of the trailer
tire pressure monitoring system:
• Have the damaged wheel and tire
assembly repaired and remounted to
your trailer.
• Install the trailer tire pressure
monitoring sensor into the new wheel
and tire assembly.
• Perform the trailer tire pressure
monitoring system reset procedure.
Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Reset Procedure
Note: You need to perform the tire pressure
monitoring system reset procedure after
each tire rotation, or when a new trailer tire
pressure sensor is installed into a trailer tire.
