Guidelines. Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford ambulance
preparation package to produce an ambulance voids the Ford warranty
and could result in elevated underbody temperatures, fuel
overpressurization and the risk of fuel expulsion and fires. To determine
whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford ambulance preparation
package, inspect the information plate on the driver’s side door pillar.
Contact the manufacturer of your vehicle to determine whether the
ambulance manufacturer’s followed Ford’s recommendations.
WARNINGS
Throughout this guide, you will find warnings identified by the
symbol
. Warnings remind you to be especially careful to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust
themselves to other parts.
Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 km) before towing a
trailer.
Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during
the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these
additives may prevent piston ring seating. SeeEngine oilin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter of this supplement for more
information on oil usage.
DIESEL ENGINE INFORMATION
The Diesel engine fuel system consists of:
•On F-Super Duty vehicles,a frame-mounted Horizontal Fuel
Conditioner Module (HFCM)
•On E-Series vehicles,a Fuel Conditioner Module (FCM) mounted on
the driver-side of the transmission case
•an engine-mounted secondary fuel filter
•a unit injector for each cylinder
The FCM/HFCM acts as a primary fuel filter/water separator which
removes both water and impurities from the fuel. The engine-mounted
fuel filter and the FCM/HFCM filter should be changed at the
recommended service interval. Refer to thescheduled maintenance
informationin this supplement for more information.

Engine cooling system
The cooling system contains an engine oil cooler which is mounted in the
center valley of the engine. The cooler’s function is to regulate engine oil
temperature.
Engine governed speed
The engine governor is controlled by the PCM. The PCM controls fuel
input to limit maximum engine speed. It will not, however, prevent
engine overspeeding resulting from downshifting at high vehicle speed or
by descending steep grades at too high a vehicle speed for the selected
transmission gear.
On F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a manual transmission,
refer toManual transmission shift speedsin theDrivingchapter of
yourOwner’s Guidefor maximum vehicle speed in various gears. Do not
exceed 3,600 rpm. Maximum engine governed speed is 4,000 rpm
depending on engine load. Excessive rpm can only be achieved by
manually downshifting at too high of a vehicle speed.
Operating the engine beyond the governed speed can cause
severe engine damage.

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

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The scheduled maintenance services in thescheduled maintenance
information of this supplement are required because they are
considered essential to the life and performance of your vehicle.
Use only recommended fuel, lubricants, fluids and service parts
conforming to Ford specifications. Motorcraft parts are designed and
built for best performance in your vehicle.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Choosing the right fuel
The engine is designed to use either low sulfur (less than 500 parts per
million) number 1–D or 2–D Diesel fuel or ultra low sulfur diesel (less
than 15 parts per million) fuel only. If your vehicle has a label which
states that ultra low sulfur diesel fuel is required, you must put
ultra low sulfur diesel fuel in your vehicle.
Number 1–D or winter blend number 2–D fuel is recommended at
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C) (see Cold weather operationin the
Driving chapter of this supplement). Diesel fuel containing no more
than 5% of biodiesel may be used. Biodiesel fuel is a product derived
from renewable fuel sources such as vegetable oil, animal fat and cooking
oil. Since it is normal for a small amount of unburned fuel to enter the
crankcase and mix with the engine oil, the use of biodiesel requires that
the engine oil and filter be changed more often. Refer to the Exceptions
section of the Scheduled Maintenance Guide chapter for more
information.
