Engine cooling system: Repeat
Step 5 until the coolant level has
stabilized (is no longer dropping after
each step) AND the upper radiator
hose at the radiator is warm to the
touch (indicating that the engine
thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through the radiator).
Secondary cooling system: Repeat
Step 5 until the coolant level has
stabilized (is no longer dropping after
each step) AND the lower passenger
side of the secondary radiator is
warm to the touch (indicating
secondary thermostat is open and
coolant is flowing through the entire
system).
11. Reinstall the pressure relief cap. Shut
the engine off and let it cool.
12. Check the coolant level in the reservoir before you drive your vehicle
the next few times (with the engine
cool).
13. If necessary, add prediluted engine coolant to the coolant reservoir until
the coolant level is within the COLD
FILL RANGE as listed on the reservoir.
After any coolant has been added,
check the coolant concentration. See
Adding Engine Coolant
earlier in
the chapter for more information.
Whenever coolant has been added, the
coolant level in the reservoir should be
checked the next few times you drive the
vehicle. If needed, add prediluted engine
coolant to bring the coolant level to the
proper level on the reservoir.
Recycled Engine Coolant
Ford Motor Company does not recommend
the use of recycled engine coolant since a
Ford-approved recycling process is not yet
available. Used engine coolant should be disposed
of in an appropriate manner. Follow your
community
’s regulations and standards
for recycling and disposing of automotive
fluids.
Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
• It may be necessary to have a Ford
authorized dealer increase the coolant
concentration above 50%.
• A coolant concentration of 60% will
provide improved freeze point
protection. Engine coolant
concentrations above 60% will
decrease the overheat protection
characteristics of the engine coolant
and may cause engine damage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
• It may be necessary to have a Ford
authorized dealer decrease the coolant
concentration to 40%.
• A coolant concentration of 40% will
provide improved overheat protection.
Engine coolant concentrations below
40% will decrease the corrosion/freeze
protection characteristics of the engine
coolant and may cause engine
damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted engine
coolant for optimum cooling system and
engine protection.
Checking Coolant Corrosion
Inhibitor Additive Strength
At specific mileage intervals of 15000
miles (24000 km), as listed in the
scheduled maintenance information
chapter, the coolant corrosion inhibitor
additive should be checked. The optional
information display, if equipped, will also
display the message CHECK COOLANT
ADDITIVE at this time. The purpose of
checking is to verify the correct engine
47
Super Duty (TFA) Maintenance

coolant concentration (freeze point
protection) and corrosion inhibitor additive
level (strength) of the coolant for
maximum engine performance and
protection. Three products are available
to confirm the life and health of the
coolant: one tool, a test kit and a coolant
inhibitor additive:
•
Rotunda tool 300–ROB75240
available from your dealer –
recommended refractometer to test
coolant concentration.
• Rotunda 328-R071–ELC (Antifreeze
Coolant ELC Contamination Kit) –
Evaluates the corrosion inhibitor
additive strength. Note the first step is
to verify the vehicle ’s coolant
concentration is in the correct range of
40 – 60%. Coolant concentrations
outside this range will not provide valid
test results. If the report results in a
pass (i.e., the cooling system does not
show excessive contamination/the
corrosion inhibitor additive strength is
sufficient), no action is required. If the
report results as insufficient (does not
pass), the corrosion inhibitor additive
strength of the coolant is too low. If the
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM corrosion
inhibitor additive strength is low, add
48 fluid oz. of Motorcraft Specialty
Orange Engine Coolant Revitalizer. If
the SECONDARY COOLING SYSTEM
corrosion inhibitor additive strength is
low, add 16 fluid oz. of Motorcraft
Specialty Orange Engine Coolant
Revitalizer.
• Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine
Coolant Revitalizer
– Additive to
boost the corrosion inhibitor level
based upon the test results of the
Antifreeze Coolant ELC Contamination
Kit. The Revitalizer may be added two
times over the life of the coolant. If
additional dosages are required, the
cooling system must be flushed and
refilled per the instructions in the
Workshop Manual.
See
Capacities and Specifications
(page 54). for the proper coolant and
additive specifications.

Super Duty (TFA) Maintenance

Coolant Change
At specific mileage intervals, as listed in
the scheduled maintenance information,
the coolant should be changed. The
optional information display, if equipped,
will also display the message COOLANT
CHANGE REQUIRED at this time.
See Capacities and Specifications
(page 54). for the proper coolant.
Engine-driven Cooling Fan (Fan
Clutch)
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine
driven cooling fan drive (also called a fan
clutch). This fan drive changes the fan
speed to match the vehicle ’s changing
cooling air flow requirements. Fan speed,
fan noise level and fuel consumption all
will increase based on the driving
conditions that include trailer towing, hill
climbing, heavy loads, high speed and high
ambient temperature, individually or in
combination.
The fan drive is designed to provide the
minimum fan speed (and resulting
minimum fan noise and fuel consumption)
required to meet the ever changing vehicle
cooling air flow requirements. You will hear
the amount of fan noise increasing and
decreasing as the engine power
requirements and vehicle driving conditions
change as you drive. This is to be expected
as being normal to the operation of your
vehicle. High levels of fan noise might also
be heard when your engine is first started,
and should normally decrease after driving
for a short time. CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER
Air Filter Restriction Gauge WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and/or personal burn injuries do not
start your engine with the air filter
removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running. Note:
Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall
or extreme rain conditions may feed
excessive amounts of snow/water into the
air intake system. This could plug/soak the
air filter with snow and may cause the
engine to lose power and possibly shut
down. The restriction gauge, located on the upper
housing of the air filter assembly, measures
the vacuum inside the air filter. The more
the air filter is restricted (dirty, clogged),
the higher the vacuum reading
Check the air filter restriction gauge
whenever the hood is raised to perform
general engine maintenance at least every
7,500 miles (12,000 km). If the vehicle is
operated in extremely dusty conditions,
check and reset the gauge at least every
500 miles (800 km), or two weeks,
49
Super Duty (TFA) MaintenanceE163372

whichever comes first. Change the air filter
when the gauge reads near the change
filter line and the chamber is filled with
yellow. Engine performance and fuel
economy are adversely affected when the
maximum restriction is reached.
Note: Blowing-out the air filter element
with compressed air is not recommended
as the compressed air may damage the filter
paper.
Note: It is not possible to determine the
level of filter clogging by visual appearance
alone. A filter which appears to be dirty may
actually have several thousand miles
(kilometers) of life remaining. After installation of the new filter element,
reset the gauge by pressing the reset
button on top of the gauge.
The following actions are recommend after
operating the vehicle up to 200 miles (320
km) in heavy snowfall or extreme rain:
•
Snow: At the earliest opportunity, open
the hood and clear all the snow and ice
from the air filter housing inlet (do NOT
remove the foam filter) and reset the
air filter restriction gauge.
• Extreme rain: The air filter will dry after
about 15– 30 minutes at highway
speeds. At the earliest opportunity,
open the hood and reset the air filter
restriction gauge.
Air Filter Replacement
When replacing the air filter element, use
a Motorcraft® air filter element. See
Motorcraft Parts
(page 54).
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage.

Super Duty (TFA) MaintenanceE163373

CLEANING THE 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 on all parts that require
cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Engine
Shampoo.
• Never wash or rinse the engine while it
is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage.
• Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or
the area in and around these locations.
• Cover the battery, power distribution
box, and air filter assembly to prevent
water damage when cleaning the
engine.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST WARNINGS
Failure to maintain the functional
holes, in the tailpipe section of the
exhaust, clean and free of debris or
foreign material may result in the holes
becoming blocked or plugged. Do not
modify or remove the tail-pipe section.
Blocked or plugged holes or
removal/modification of the system could
result in elevated exhaust gas
temperatures which may result in
vehicle/property damage or personal
injury. WARNINGS
The normal operating temperature
of the exhaust system is very high.
Never work around or attempt to
repair any part of the exhaust system until
it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and/or the diesel
particulate filter (DPF). The diesel
oxidation catalytic converter and/or the
DPF heats up to a high temperature after
only a short period of engine operation and
can stay hot even after the engine is turned
off. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury. The visible holes in the exhaust tip and the
holes under the shield just inboard of the
right rear tire(s) are functional. The holes
need to be kept clear of mud/debris or
foreign material to maintain proper
function of the exhaust system. Clean and
remove debris or foreign material if present
as needed. Spraying with a hose during
regular washing of vehicle should help
keep holes clean and clear of debris or
foreign material.

Super Duty (TFA) Capacities and Specifications

Ford Motor Company has recommended
maintenance intervals for various parts
and component systems based upon
engineering testing. Ford Motor Company
relies upon this testing to determine the
most appropriate mileage for replacement
of oils and fluids to protect your vehicle at
the lowest overall cost to you and
recommends against maintenance
schedules that deviate from the scheduled
maintenance information.
We strongly recommend the use of only
genuine Ford, Motorcraft or
Ford-authorized re-manufactured
replacement parts engineered for your
vehicle.
Additives and Chemicals
This owner's manual and the Ford
Workshop Manual list the recommended
additives and chemicals for your vehicle.
We do not recommend using chemicals or
additives not approved by us as part of
your vehicle
’s normal maintenance. Please
consult your warranty information. Oils, Fluids and Flushing
In many cases, fluid discoloration is a
normal operating characteristic and, by
itself, does not necessarily indicate a
concern or that the fluid needs to be
changed. However, a qualified expert, such
as the factory-trained technicians at your
dealership, should inspect discolored fluids
that also show signs of overheating or
foreign material contamination
immediately.
Make sure to change your vehicle
’s oils and
fluids at the specified intervals or in
conjunction with a repair. Flushing is a
viable way to change fluid for many vehicle
sub-systems during scheduled
maintenance. It is critical that systems are
flushed only with new fluid that is the same
as that required to fill and operate the
system or using a Ford-approved flushing
chemical.
Owner Checks and Services
Make sure you perform the following basic
maintenance checks and inspections every
month or at six-month intervals. Check every month
Air filter restriction gauge.
Fuel and water separator. Drain if necessary (or if indicated by the information display). Tires (including spare) for wear and proper pressure.
Holes and slots in the tail pipe to make sure they are functional and clear of debris.
