POWER STROKE DIESEL ENGINE
Your new diesel engine will feel, drive and function somewhat differently
than a gasoline engine. Therefore it is very important that you read and
thoroughly familiarize yourself and others operating the vehicle with this
guide.A special procedure for turning off the diesel engine is in
theDrivingchapter. It is important to read and understand this
material in order to maintain the best service life for your
engine.
This guide will acquaint you with the Power Stroke diesel engine. It
provides recommendations on engine care and operating procedures. For
complete vehicle information, also refer to theOwner’s Guideincluded
with the vehicle. It also describes equipment and gives specifications for
equipment that was in effect when this guide was approved for printing,
and should be considered a permanent part of the vehicle.
Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/transmission
and/or exhaust system damage;refer to thewarranty informationin
theCustomer Information Guidefor more information.Your vehicle’s
Powertrain Control Systems can detect and store information
about vehicle modifications that increase horsepower and torque
output such as whether or not performance-enhancing powertrain
components commonly referred to as “performance chips” have
been used. This information cannot be erased and will stay in the
system’s memory even if the modification is removed. The
Information can be retrieved by Ford Motor Company, Ford of
Canada, and service and repair facilities when servicing your
vehicle. This information may be used to determine if repairs will
be covered by warranty.
Ford may discontinue models or change specifications without any notice
and without incurring obligations.

Important notice
Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if equipped
with the Ford ambulance preparation package. In addition, Ford urges
ambulance manufacturers to follow the recommendation of theFord
Incomplete Vehicle Manual, Ford Truck Body Builder’s Layout Book
(and pertinent supplements) and theQualified Vehicle Modifiers
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. Make sure you use the specified engine oil by checking the engine
oil specification chart underEngine oilin theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter.
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 E-Series vehicles (6.0L engine),a Diesel Fuel Conditioner
Module (DFCM) mounted on the driver-side frame rail next to the
transmission
Introduction

Supplement(supplement), 1st Printing
USA(fus)
Page 4 of 104
•On F-Super Duty vehicles (6.4L engine),a frame-mounted
Horizontal Fuel Conditioner Module (HFCM)
•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
filter filters finer impurities from the diesel 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.
F-Super Duty
E-Series
The FCM/HFCM should be drained at regular intervals or when the
WATER IN FUEL light illuminates in the instrument cluster.
The fuel injectors are located in the center of the combustion chambers
in the cylinder head between the rocker arm assemblies. The glow plug
system and fuel injection system are controlled through the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM) (6.0L
engine only).
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by a frame-mounted electric fuel pump.
The fuel pump provides pressurized fuel to the engine and is
electronically controlled by the fuel pump PCM relay. The fuel pump
contains a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event
of restricted flow.
Engine protection mode
Ford diesel engines are equipped with engine protection and emission
control systems. These systems monitor critical temperatures and
pressures, and modify engine operation accordingly. These features are
intended to modify engine performance characteristics. If these modified
engine performance characteristics persist for an extended period or the
service engine soon
or powertrain malfunction/reduced
power/electronic throttle control light
is illuminated, seek service
from your authorized dealer.

Lubrication system
Extended oil change intervals can negatively affect engine performance,
fuel economy and engine life. Refer to the engine oil specification chart
located underEngine oil specificationsin theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter of this supplement.
On E-Series vehicles (6.0L engine),it is important to change the
engine oil at the recommended service intervals because oil viscosity is
important in maintaining the oil pressure required to actuate the fuel
injectors.
On F-Super Duty vehicles (6.4L engine),it is important to change
the engine oil at the recommended service intervals to maintain oil
viscosity with the addition of the diesel particulate filter (DPF).
Fast start glow plug system
The glow plug system consists of:
•eight glow plugs
•the glow plug control module (GPCM)
•engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor
•barometric pressure (BARO) sensor
The glow plug system is
electronically controlled by the
PCM. The GPCM energizes the glow
plugs immediately after the ignition
is placed in the ON position, then determines how long the glow plugs
will be on according to the EOT and BARO sensors. The required time
for the glow plugs to be energized decreases as the engine oil
temperature and barometric pressure increase.
Engine cooling system
The engine cooling system contains an engine oil cooler and an Exhaust
Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler. The oil cooler’s function is to regulate
engine oil temperature. The EGR cooler function is to cool exhaust gases
before they are circulated back through the engine to reduce emissions.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically are used to carry heavy loads and
accumulate mileage rapidly. These two factors may cause the additives in
the coolant to “wear out” in a shorter time. Refer to the Special
Operating Conditions section for more information about coolant
additives and coolant change intervals. Operating the engine with
insufficient coolant and/or coolant additive can cause severe engine
damage.

To determine if a coolant additive recharge is required, check the nitrite
strength of the coolant using the coolant nitrate test strip kit (Acustrip
3-way Antifreeze Test Strip). If the nitrite strength is above 800 ppm no
action is required. If the nitrite strength is between 800 ppm to 300 ppm
add 32 fl. oz. (946 ml) of engine coolant additive, Motorcraft VC-8 or
equivalent. If the nitrite strength is below 300 ppm, flush & refill the
cooling system.
Fuel and turbocharger cooling system (F-Super Duty only)
The fuel and turbocharger cooling system contains a cooler which is
mounted on the turbo interstage U-tube on the left side of the engine.
The cooler’s function is to regulate engine fuel temperature and cool the
electronics that support the turbocharger. You may hear the auxiliary
coolant pump running up to 10 minutes after the ignition is turned off in
hot weather or if you are towing heavy loads. This is to control the
temperature of the turbocharger.
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.
If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission,refer to
Manual transmission shift speedsin theDrivingchapter of your
Owner’s Guidefor maximum vehicle shift speeds in various gears. Do
not exceed 4,000 rpm. Maximum engine governed speed is 3,700 rpm.
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.
Speed control (F-Super Duty)
If vehicle speed goes outside a predetermined range from the set speed,
the RES (Resume) function will not reset vehicle speed. Vehicle speed
will need to be reset with the SET +/- button after reaching desired
speed using accelerator pedal.

Glow plug pre-heat indicator:
With the key in the on position,
the
light will illuminate if glow
plug heat is necessary as a starting aid. Wait until the light goes off
before starting. Refer toCold weather startingin theDrivingchapter
of this supplement. After the engine starts, the light should turn on. The
light should always illuminate at least momentarily when the engine is
cold and the ignition is turned to on. If it does not illuminate, the glow
plug system should be checked and repaired promptly to avoid difficulty
in cold starting.
Water in fuel:
F-Super Duty
E-Series
During refueling, it is possible for water-contaminated diesel fuel to be
pumped into your tank. Your vehicle’s fuel system is equipped with a fuel
filter/water separator to remove water from the fuel. The water in fuel
light will illuminate when the FCM/HFCM has a significant quantity of
water in it.
If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, shut off the engine, then drain the FCM/HFCM.
Refer toDraining the FCM/HFCM and changing the fuel filtersin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter of this supplement for the
drain procedure. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in
extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system.
WARNING:Do not drain the water separator while the engine is
running. Fuel may ignite if the separator is drained while the
engine is running or the vehicle is moving.
