ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank you for choosing Ford. We

recommend that you take some time to

get to know your vehicle by reading this

manual. The more that you know about

your vehicle, the greater the safety and

pleasure you will get from driving it.

WARNING

Driving while distracted can result in

loss of vehicle control, crash and

injury. We strongly recommend that

you use extreme caution when using any

device that may take your focus off the

road. Your primary responsibility is the safe

operation of your vehicle. We recommend

against the use of any hand-held device

while driving and encourage the use of

voice-operated systems when possible.

Make sure you are aware of all applicable

local laws that may affect the use of

electronic devices while driving.

Note: Always use and operate your vehicle

in line with all applicable laws and

regulations.

Note: Pass on this manual when selling

your vehicle. It is an integral part of your

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 and 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. There is a

special procedure for turning off the diesel

engine. See Starting a Diesel Engine

(page 86). 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.

Note: Either Ford Motor Company or an

authorized Ford dealer may have originally

sold this incomplete vehicle to a vehicle

modifier who upfitted it. As a result, some

of the options and features on this vehicle

may differ from what we describe in this

manual.

This manual may qualify the location of a

component as left-hand side or right-hand

side. The side is determined when facing

forward in the seat.

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.

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

• A high-pressure fuel rail for each

cylinder bank (2 total)

• Numerous high-pressure pipes from

the high-pressure pump to the rails,

and rails to the injectors

The fuel and water separator 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

frame-mounted fuel filter should be

changed at the recommended service

interval or when indicated by the

information display LOW FUEL PRESSURE

message. See Scheduled Maintenance

(page 314).

The fuel and water separator should be

drained at regular intervals (recommended

at every oil change) or when indicated by

the information display and water in fuel

indicator light. See Fuel Quality (page

92).

Proper fuel filter maintenance and prompt

water draining when the water in fuel light

illuminates is essential to prevent injection

equipment damage. Ignoring the water in

fuel light or the information display

message WATER IN FUEL DRAIN FILTER

can cause your vehicle to go into a reduced

power mode.

A frame-mounted electric fuel pump

located inside the fuel and water separator

draws fuel from the fuel tank to provide

pressurized fuel to the engine. The fuel

pump contains a pressure relief valve for

overpressure protection in the event of

restricted flow.

The fuel injection system is controlled

through the powertrain control module.

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

modified engine performance

characteristics are normal.

8

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Introduction

If these modified engine performance

characteristics persist for an extended

period and either the service engine soon

or powertrain malfunction, reduced power,

electronic throttle control light is

illuminated, have the system checked by

an authorized dealer.

Service engine soon

Powertrain malfunction, reduced

power, electronic throttle control

Diesel Lubrication System

It is important to change the engine oil at

the recommended service intervals or

when indicated by the information display

to maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil

and filter change interval beyond the

recommended interval can negatively

affect engine performance, fuel economy

and engine life. See Engine Oil Check

(page 186).

Engine and secondary cooling system

The cooling system contains a primary

cooling loop to cool the engine and a

secondary cooling loop to cool the

transmission, 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. You can find more

information about coolant additives and

coolant change intervals in the coolant

chapter. See General Maintenance

Information (page 314). 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 (DEF) that you must replenish at

certain intervals. Failure to maintain proper

DEF levels or if the DEF becomes

contaminated will result in vehicle speed

limitations or result in your vehicle entering

an idle-only mode. See Selective

Catalytic Reduction System (page 95).

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 the start position, 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 the start position, 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.

9

F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing

Introduction

• The gearshift lever must be in P (Park)

or N (Neutral) in order for the starter

to operate.

• Try operating the starter switch several

times. This operation may clean

potentially corroded contacts or make

the switch temporarily operable until

you can reach the dealer.

• If all electrical connections are tight

and you need assistance to start, See

Jump Starting the Vehicle (page 153).

If engine cranks but won’t start

Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10

seconds) could cause damage to the

starter motor or the high-pressure fuel

pump.

• Check the fuel gauge. You may be out

of fuel. If the gauge shows that there

is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be

in the electrical system or the fuel

system. If equipped with an auxiliary

tank, be sure that the tank control

switch is set for the tank with fuel and

not on an empty tank.

• Leaving your ignition key turned to on

for over two minutes without starting

may make starting difficult because

the glow plugs will cease activation.

Reset the system by turning the ignition

key to off and then back to on again.

Note: If the system is out of fuel and the

engine will not start, do not continue

cranking the engine. Continued cranking can

damage the high-pressure fuel pump.

If the engine runs hot

The following could cause the engine to

overheat:

• Lack of coolant

• Dirty cooling system.

• Plugged radiator fins, A/C condenser

and/or oil cooler

• Malfunctioning fan drive

• Driving with frozen coolant

• Sticking thermostat

• Overloading or pulling heavy trailers

during hot weather

• Grill or radiator air blockage

• Slipping or missing drive belt

• Plugged or very dirty air filter

If fuses burn out

WARNING

Replacement fuses and circuit

breakers must always be the same

rating as the original equipment

shown. Never replace a fuse or circuit

breaker with one of a higher rating. Higher

rated fuses or circuit breakers could allow

circuit overloading in the event of a circuit

malfunction, resulting in severe vehicle

damage or personal injury due to fire.

Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicate

an electrical short-circuit, although a fuse

may occasionally burn out from vibration.

Insert a second fuse. If this fuse

immediately burns out and you cannot

locate the cause, return your vehicle to

your dealer for a circuit check. See

Changing a Fuse (page 170).

Selective catalytic reduction system

speed limit and Idle-only modes

If the vehicle’s speed is limited or in an

idle-only mode, the selective catalytic

reduction system may be limiting the

vehicle’s functions due to low or

contaminated DEF. Check the DEF. See

Selective Catalytic Reduction System

(page 95).

GENERAL INFORMATION

See the following sections for directions

on how to properly use safety restraints

for children.

WARNINGS

Always make sure your child is

secured properly in a device that is

appropriate for their height, age and

weight. Child safety restraints must be

bought separately from your vehicle.

Failure to follow these instructions and

guidelines may result in an increased risk

of serious injury or death to your child.

All children are shaped differently.

The recommendations for safety

restraints are based on probable

child height, age and weight thresholds

from National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration and other safety

organizations, or are the minimum

requirements of law. Ford recommends

checking with a NHTSA Certified Child

Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) and

consult your pediatrician to make sure your

child seat is appropriate for your child, and

WARNINGS

is compatible with and properly installed

in your vehicle. To locate a child seat fitting

station and CPST, contact the NHTSA toll

free at 1-888-327-4236 or go to

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. In Canada,

check with your local St. John Ambulance

office for referral to a CPST or for further

information, contact your provincial

ministry of transportation, locate your local

St. John Ambulance office by searching for

St. John Ambulance on the internet, or

Transport Canada at 1-800-333-0371

(http://www.tc.gc.ca). Failure to properly

restrain children in safety seats made

especially for their height, age, and weight

may result in an increased risk of serious

injury or death to your child.

Do not leave children or animals

unattended in the vehicle. On hot

days, the temperature in the trunk or

vehicle interior can rise very quickly.

Exposure of people or animals to these

high temperatures for even a short time

can cause death or serious heat-related

injuries, including brain damage. Small

children are particularly at risk.
