Check every oil change (Oil change interval for the 6.0L Power
Stroke engine is 10,000 miles [16,000 km]; (refer to the
Caterpillar and Cummins service manuals for instructions and
information)
Fuel systemDrain the accumulated water or
sediment from the fuel tank(s).
Steering systemLubricate the steering shaft(s),
U-joints and splines when equipped
with grease fittings.
Lubricate the front axle spindle pins.
Lubricate the steering linkage when
equipped with grease fittings.

* Coolant protection checks should be made just prior to the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable. If coolant is dirty or rusty in
appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the
prescribed solution of cooling system fluid and water. Use only
permanent type coolant that meets Ford specifications
WSS-M97B51-A1. See the engine manufacturer’s operating guide for
supplemental corrosion inhibitor specifications.
In addition to the items to be performed daily or at each oil change, the
following need to be completed as specified:

damageExcessive noise or the smell of
fumes is experienced.
Inspect the engine air induction
system (including the air ducts
and the air filter) for loose fitting,
damaged or missing componentsExcessive noise emanates from the
engine compartment.
Inspect the tires and check the air
pressure
(3)Poor steering, wandering or
excessive tire wear.
Balance the wheels and the tires Vibration or abnormal tire wear
indicates imbalance.
Check the front end alignment
(3)Poor steering, wandering or
excessive tire wear.

transmission.
Check fuel pump pressure Insufficient full-throttle power or
backfiring.
Clean radiator cap seal. Clean and
inspect the cap surface on the
radiatorWhen the cap does not hold
pressure.
Check the battery terminals for
corrosionWhenever electrical power supply
has diminished.
Tighten the wheel mounting nuts
to the specified torque. Refer to
Servicing your wheels and tires
in theMaintenance and
SpecificationschapterRequired initially at 500 and 1000
miles (800 and 1600 km). Perform
again at 500 and 1000 mile (800
and 1600 km) intervals after each
tire removal/replacement.
Clean body/door drain holes At least twice annually.
Clean windshield wiper blades As required.
Replace windshield wiper blades If wiping the blades with a clean
cloth and mild detergent and
washing with a cleaner does not
restore a clean wipe.
Lubricate body lock cylinders Noisy or difficult to operate.
Check headlamp alignment Lamp beams in wrong position
when vehicle operating loaded.
Check windshield washer fluid
level; add fluid if requiredIf washes do not spray when
operated.
1- During maintenance and repair, protect the fuel tube and the hose
assemblies, the power steering lines, and the brake lines from the
external heat, the acids and the abrasion that could damage the lines.
2- Check for (free) linkage action and ensure that (return) spring
force is adequate to maintain pedal free play.
3- Adjust, repair or replace as required with the same or equivalent
parts.
