engine FORD SUPER DUTY 2007 1.G Diesel Supplement Manual

Your vehicle is also equipped with a bypass relief valve, located on the
fuel control module, which provides fuel flow to the engine if the fuel
pickup should become plugged by ice or wax. To allow this bypass valve
to function and avoid engine fuel starvation, it is recommended that,
during cold weather operation 32°F (0°C) or below, the fuel level in your
tank should not be allowed to drop below
14full. This will help prevent
air from entering the fuel system and stalling the engine.
In cold weather below 32°F (0°C) your diesel engine will slowly increase
to a higher idle speed if left idling in P (Park). As the engine warms-up,
the engine sound level will decrease due to the activation of
PCM-controlled sound reduction features.
If your vehicle is operated in a heavy snow storm or blowing snow
conditions, the engine air induction may become partially clogged with
snow and/or ice. If this occurs, the engine may experience a significant
reduction in power output. At the earliest opportunity, clear all the snow
and/or ice away from the air induction inlet.
In order to operate the engine in temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or lower,
read the following instructions:
•Make sure that the batteries are of sufficient size and are fully
charged. Check other electrical components to make sure they are in
optimum condition.
•Use Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant solution at the
concentration recommended to protect the engine against damage
from freezing.
•Try to keep the fuel tank full as much as possible at the end operation
to prevent condensation in the fuel system.
•Make sure you use proper cold weather engine oil and that it is at its
proper level.
•At temperatures of -4°F (-20°C) or below, it is recommended that you
use an engine block heater to improve cold engine starting.
•If operating in arctic temperatures of -20°F (-29°C) or lower, consult
your truck dealer for information about special cold weather
equipment and precautions.
Note:Idling in cold weather will not heat the engine to its normal
operating temperature. Long periods of idling in cold weather can cause
a buildup of heavy deposits of carbon and rust on valve stems causing
them to stick, which in turn, can cause valve train damage.

The following cold weather idling guidelines must be followed:
•Avoid idling the engine for more than 10 minutes at a time.
•Use Motor Craft Cetane Index improvers of a non-alcohol based from a
reputable manufacturer.
•Maintain the engine cooling system properly.
•Do not shut the engine down after an extensive idling period (10
minutes or more). Drive the vehicle for several miles with the engine
at normal operating temperatures under a moderate load to burn off
any accumulated carbon and varnish.
•Consider using an engine block heater.
•For extended idle times use an approved idle speed increase device.
Winter operating tips for Arctic operation -20°F (-29°C) and below
The following information is provided as a guideline only, and is not
intended to be the only source of possible solutions in resolving extreme
cold temperature issues.
Starting Aids:
The use of the factory engine block heater (refer toUsing the engine
block heater (if equipped)in theDrivingchapter of theOwner’s
Guide) and oil pan heaters (aftermarket) will assist in engine starting, in
extreme cold ambient temperatures.
Do not use starting fluid, such as ether, in the air intake system
(see air cleaner decal). Such fluid could cause immediate
explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.
Idle control:
For periods of extended idle, the throttle should be set at an rpm, which
is sufficient to keep the engine at normal operating temperatures. This
action can reduce the amount of engine damaging deposits.
•The 6.0L diesel engine contains a unique
Cold Weather – Idle up
feature
calibration strategy within the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM). Under the appropriate conditions, the strategy will
automatically elevate the engine idle speed after 130 seconds of idling
in cold ambient temperatures. For this feature to be activated the
truck must be in P (Park) (for automatic transmission), in neutral (for
manual transmission) with the park brake applied and engine oil
temperature below 158°F (70°C). This strategy raises the rpm to a

level that reduces the potential to produce
Coking
or
Wet Stacking
,
which is common to all diesel engines when idling for extended
periods during cold ambient temperatures.
•F-Super Duty/ E-Series, equipped with the 6.0L diesel engine have a
factory option for Stationary Elevated Idle Control (SEIC) through
dash mounted “Upfitter” switches that will allow the operator to
elevate the idle rpm for extended idle periods, as well as aftermarket
equipment such as PTO operation. This feature must be configured
even if ordered from the factory. See your authorized dealer for
required upfitting.
Operation in snow
Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall or in dry loose snow that may swirl
around the front of the vehicle may feed excessive amounts of snow into
the air intake system. This could plug the air cleaner with snow and
cause the engine to stall and/or lose power.
Refer toAir filter restriction gaugeandEngine air filterin the
Instrument Clusterchapter of this supplement for more information.
Operation in standing water
Ingestion of water into the diesel engine can result in immediate and
severe damage to the engine. If driving through water, slow down to
avoid splashing water into the intake. If the engine stalls, and ingestion
of water into the engine is suspected, do not try to restart the engine.
Consult your dealer for service immediately.
Engine block heater (if equipped)
Refer to theDrivingchapter in theOwner’s Guide.
DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
If your vehicle is equipped with dual
fuel tanks, you will have a selector
control, located to the right of the
steering wheel, which allows you to
draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel
gauge will display the amount of
fuel in the currently selected tank.
Fuel level indication is delayed for several minutes when the tank
selector switch is actuated. Fuel level indication can be obtained
immediately by turning off and restarting the engine.

JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE (E-SERIES ONLY)
F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with the 6.0L diesel engine can
be jump started using the same procedure as a gasoline engine;
refer to yourOwner’s Guidefor the jump starting procedure.
The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames,
sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or
vehicle damage.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin, eyes and
clothing, if contacted.
Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start capability; damage to the
automatic transmission may result.
Preparing your vehicle
When the batteries are disconnected or new batteries are installed, the
transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the transmission
may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and
will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the
adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation
1.Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.
2. Do not disconnect the batteries of the disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle’s electrical system.
3. Park the booster vehicle close to the passenger side of the disabled
vehicle making sure the two vehiclesdo nottouch. Set the parking
brake on both vehicles.
Note:This vehicle has two frame-mounted batteries located on the
passenger side frame rail, behind the front passenger door. A battery
positive (+) jumper stud is located on the frame rail behind the rear
most battery box.

4. Make the final connection of the negative (-) cable to an exposed
metal part of the disabled vehicle’s frame or chassis, away from the
batteries.Do notuse fuel lines, brake lines, exhaust components or the
battery trays asgroundingpoints.
Do not connect the end of the second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the battery to be jumped. A spark may cause an
explosion of the gases that surround the battery.
5. Ensure that the cables are clear of moving parts or any fuel delivery
system, brake system or exhaust system parts.
Jump starting
1. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and run the engine at
moderately increased speed.
2. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.
3. Once the disabled vehicle has been started, run both engines for an
additional three minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.

3. Remove the jumper cable from the positive (+) terminal of the booster
vehicle’s battery.
4. Remove the jumper cable from the positive (+) jumper stud of the
disabled vehicle. Reinstall the cap onto the jumper stud.
After the disabled vehicle has been started and the jumper cables
removed, allow it to idle for several minutes so the engine computer can
relearnits idle conditions.

ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are clean because grease and dirt
buildup keep the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
•Take care when using a power washer to clean the engine. The
high-pressure fluid could penetrate the sealed parts and cause
damage.
•Do not spray a hot engine with cold water to avoid cracking the
engine block or other engine components.
•Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and Degreaser (ZC-20) on all parts
that require cleaning and pressure rinse clean.
•Never wash or rinse the engine while it is running; water in the
running engine may cause internal damage.
•Cover the highlighted areas to prevent water damage when cleaning
the engine.
