STARTING THE ENGINE
Read all starting instructions carefully before you start your vehicle.
For temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the use of the correct grade engine
oil is essential for proper operation.
If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission,make sure
the parking brake is set fully before you turn the key. Depress the clutch
pedal and place the gearshift in the neutral position. The clutch must be
fully depressed in order to operate the starter. Do not press the
accelerator during starting.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission,ensure
the gearshift lever is in P (Park) and the parking brake is set before you
turn the key. Do not press the accelerator during starting.
Cold weather starting
The engine block heater must be used for starting when the temperature
is -20°F (-29°C) or colder. Refer toUsing the engine block heater (if
equipped)in theDrivingchapter of theOwner’s Guide.
When operating in cold weather, use a minimum of 45 Cetane Diesel fuel
or use Cetane Index improvers from a reputable manufacturer.
Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds as starter damage
may occur. If the engine fails to start, turn the key to 3 (OFF) and wait
30 seconds before trying again.
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.
Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel fuel. This
practice creates a serious fire hazard and causes engine
performance problems.

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
