transmission FORD SUPER DUTY 2014 3.G Diesel Supplement Manual

ABOUT THIS SUPPLEMENT
This supplement 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 your Owner
’s
Manual included 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.
Note: 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 will stay in the system ’s
memory cannot be erased even if the
modification is removed. Ford Motor
Company, Ford of Canada, Ford of Mexico
and service or repair facilities can retrieve
this information when servicing your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company may use this
information to determine if your warranty
covers any needed repairs.
Note: Some aftermarket products may
cause severe engine/transmission and/or
exhaust system damage; refer to your
warranty information for more information.
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 the Starting and Stopping the Engine
chapter, See Starting a Diesel Engine
(page 9). It is important to read and
understand this material in order to
maintain the best service life for your
engine. Ford may discontinue models or change
specifications without any notice and
without incurring obligations.
Warnings WARNING
Throughout this guide, you will find
warnings identified by the warning
symbol. Warnings remind you to be
especially careful to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Breaking-In Your Vehicle
Your vehicle does not need an extensive
break-in. Try not to drive continuously at
the same speed for the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers) 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 kilometers) before towing a trailer.
Make sure you use the specified engine oil.
See Technical Specifications (page 56
).
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. See Engine Oil Check (page
42
).
Diesel Engine Information
The diesel engine fuel system is a
pressurized two-stage filtration system
and consists of:
• A frame-mounted Fuel and Water
Separator primary filter with an electric
fuel pump and water drain
• An engine-mounted secondary fuel
filter
• A fuel injector for each cylinder (8
total)
• A high-pressure fuel pump

Super Duty (TFA) Introduction

The powertrain and glow plug control
modules electronically control the glow
plug system. After you switch the ignition
on the glow plug control module
immediately energizes the glow plugs. The
glow plug control module using the engine
coolant temperature, barometric pressure
sensor and environmental temperature
sensor will determine how long the glow
plugs stay energized. The required time for
the glow plugs to be energized decreases
as the coolant temperature, barometric
pressure and environmental temperature
increase.
Glow Plug
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains a primary
cooling loop to cool the engine and
exhaust gases and a secondary cooling
loop to cool the transmission, exhaust
gases, charge air, and fuel. The coolant
serves three primary purposes: to provide
heat transfer, freeze point protection, and
corrosion protection using additives.
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. For more information
about coolant additives and coolant
change intervals See General
Maintenance Information (page 58). .
Operating the engine with insufficient
coolant or coolant additive can cause
severe engine damage
Selective catalytic reduction system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective
catalytic reduction system designed to
reduce emission levels of nitrogen oxides
from the exhaust of your diesel engine. This
system relies on the use of diesel exhaust
fluid that you must replenish at certain intervals. Failure to maintain proper diesel
exhaust fluid levels or if the diesel exhaust
fluid becomes contaminated will result in
vehicle speed limitations or result in your
vehicle entering an idle-only mode. See
Selective Catalytic Reduction System
(page
20).
Speed control
If your vehicle speed goes outside a
predetermined range from the set speed,
the RSM (Resume) function will not reset
your vehicle speed. You will need to reset
your vehicle speed with the SET+ or SET-
button after reaching the desired speed
using the accelerator pedal.
Minor Troubleshooting Guide
If the engine won ’t crank WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after
handling. Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim,
do not go on at all or when the ignition is
turned to START the lights become dim or
go out, the battery connections may be
loose or corroded, or the battery may be
discharged. If there is a clicking or
stuttering sound coming from the engine
compartment when you turn the key to
START, this may also indicate a loose or
corroded battery connection.
Check the battery connections at the
battery posts, cable connection to the
engine grounding point and at the starter
connection.
If you suspect a discharged battery, have
it checked and corrected.

Super Duty (TFA) Introduction

Diesel Fuel Additives
It should not be necessary to add any
aftermarket additives to your fuel if you
use a high quality diesel fuel that conforms
to ASTM industry specifications.
Aftermarket additives can damage the fuel
injector system or engine.
Use Motorcraft® cetane booster or an
equivalent cetane booster additive if you
suspect fuel has low cetane. Use
Motorcraft® anti-gel & performance
improver or an equivalent additive if there
is fuel gelling.
Do not use alcohol-based additives to
improve cetane quality, to prevent fuel
gelling or any other use. The use of alcohol
additives may result in damage to the fuel
injectors and system. See Technical
Specifications (page 56).
Your warranty may not cover repairs
needed to correct the effects of using an
aftermarket product that does not meet
Ford specifications in your fuel.
Note: Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel is
designed to meet the emissions standards
for the 6.7L engine and is backward
compatible as well (for example, it can be
used in the 7.3L, 6.9L, 6.4L and 6.0L diesel
engines in Ford vehicles.
Fuel And Water Separator
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel fuel
conditioner module located on the
frame-rail under the driver-side floorboard
near the transmission. You should drain water from the
module assembly whenever the
warning light comes on and the
message center directs you to drain the
water separator. This will occur when
approximately 0.32 pints (150 ml) of water
accumulates in the module. If you allow
the water level to exceed this level, the
water may pass through to the engine and
may cause fuel injection equipment
damage.
Draining the Diesel Fuel Conditioner
Module (DFCM) WARNING
Your vehicle must be stopped with
the engine off when draining the
Diesel Fuel Conditioner Module. Fuel
may ignite if the separator is drained while
the engine is running or vehicle is moving. Note:
If you drain the diesel fuel conditioner
module while the system is running air will
enter into the fuel system. The engine will
not operate properly if air enters the system.
Note: With fuel tank levels above 3⁄4 tank
it may be necessary to loosen the bowl 3
turns before opening the drain. This will
actuate an anti-siphon valve at the fuel and
water separator inlet and prevent the fuel
from siphoning out of the tank.
Note: A loose drain valve can allow air to
enter the fuel system and cause drivetrain
issues. The engine will not operate properly.
Be sure that you fully tighten the drain valve.
1. Stop your vehicle and shut off the engine.
2. Locate the diesel fuel conditioner module and place an appropriate
container under the drain port.
16
Super Duty (TFA) Fuel and Refueling

3.
Rotate the drain counterclockwise until
the O-ring is visible. Allow the diesel
fuel conditioner module to drain for
approximately 25 seconds or until
clean fuel is observed. Rotate the drain
clockwise to tighten it. If no liquid
drains, there may be a clog in the drain.
Have the conditioner module serviced
by an authorized dealer.
4. Make sure that you fully tighten the drain valve and then remove the
container from under your vehicle.
5. Restart the engine. If the WATER IN FUEL DRAIN FILTER or WATER IN FUEL
DRAIN FILTER SEE MANUAL message
and light continues to illuminate, have
the fuel system checked and repaired.
Low Fuel Pressure
The engine is equipped with a low fuel
pressure detection system. Here are some
possible causes if a low fuel pressure
message appears in the information
display:
• Cold start or during cold operation
(below 32°F (0°C): If the low fuel
pressure message appears during a
cold start or up to 10 minutes after the
initial cold start, monitor the
information display. If the low fuel
pressure message disappears and does
not re-appear after the engine has fully
warmed up, waxed or gelled fuel is what most likely caused the message.
Do not use alcohol based additives to
correct fuel gelling. This may result in
damage to the fuel injectors and
systems. Use an anti-gel additive. See
Technical Specifications (page 56).
Note: Your customer warranty may be void
from using additives that do not meet or
exceed Ford specifications. If the low fuel
pressure message persistently appears after
re-fueling during the cold start and cold
operation conditions defined previously and
then disappear when the engine has fully
warmed up, consider different fuel sources.
• Low fuel operation: If the low fuel
pressure message appears when your
vehicle is warm and during low fuel
tank level operation (near empty),
refuel your vehicle. If the message
reappears after fueling, see below. If
the message does not come back, the
low fuel pressure condition was due to
low fuel levels in the fuel tank.
• Normal operation: If the low fuel
pressure message appears during
normal operation when the engine is
fully warm, and fuel level is not low,
you must change the fuel filters
regardless of the maintenance
schedule interval.
• If replacement of the fuel filter does
not remedy the low fuel pressure
message during normal operation as
defined above, take the vehicle to an
authorized dealer.
Changing the Engine-Mounted and
Diesel Fuel Conditioner Module Fuel
Filters
Your vehicle is equipped with two fuel
filters. The first filter mounts on top of the
engine on the driver ’s side. The second
filter, inside the diesel fuel conditioner
module, is mounted on the frame rail under
the driver ’s side floorboard near the
transmission. You should replace both

FUEL SHUTOFF
In the event of a moderate to severe
collision, this vehicle is equipped with a
fuel pump shut-off feature that stops the
flow of fuel to the engine. Not every impact
will cause a shut-off.
After an accident, if the engine cranks but
does not start, this switch may have been
activated.
This switch is located on the passenger
’s
side of the instrument panel. Open the
front passenger door and remove the small
access panel The switch has a red button on top of it.
To reset the switch:
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Check the fuel system for leaks. 3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the
switch by pushing in on the reset
button.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Wait a few seconds and return the key
to off.
6. Make another check for leaks.
Running Out Of DEF (Diesel
Exhaust Fluid)
If your vehicle runs out of DEF, it will enter
into a speed limited mode and can also
enter into an idle-only mode. Normal
vehicle operation will not resume until DEF
is refilled. See Selective Catalytic
Reduction System (page 20).
Contact roadside assistance for help in
finding a retailer that sells DEF. See the
Customer Assistance chapter in the
Owner ’s Manual for more information.
JUMP-STARTING THE VEHICLE WARNINGS
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.
Use only an adequate-sized cable
with insulated clamps.
Preparing Your Vehicle
Note:
Do not attempt to push-start your
automatic transmission vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start
capability. Attempting to push-start a
vehicle with an automatic transmission may
cause transmission damage.
