RESTARTING AFTER RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
The fuel system may need to be purged of air, refer toRunning out of
fuelin theMaintenance and carechapter.
OPERATING THE ENGINE
Do not operate the engine at full throttle below peak torque engine
speed (RPM) for more than one minute at a time (peak torque RPM
varies from 1200-1500 RPM depending on engine rated speed).
Monitor the oil pressure and coolant
temperature gauges frequently.
If the gauges indicate any reading is
not in the normal operating range,
stop your vehicle as soon as
possible, shut the engine off and
check the appropriate fluid level. If
an overheating condition starts to
occur, release the throttle pressure
or shift the transmission into a
lower gear, or both, until the
temperature returns to normal operating range.
Continuous operation with low coolant
temperature, below 60°C (140°F) or
high coolant temperature 100°C
(212°F) can damage the engine.
Most failures give some kind of early
warning. Look and listen for changes
in performance, sound or engine
appearance that can indicate service
or engine repair is needed. Some
changes to look and/or listen for:
•Engine misfires
•Loss of power
•Sudden changes in engine operating temperature or oil pressure
•Excessive smoke
•Fuel, oil or coolant leaks
•Vibration
•Increased oil or fuel consumption

EXHAUST FUMES
Never idle the engine in closed areas. Never sit in a parked or
stopped vehicle for any amount of time with engine running.
If you ever smell exhaust fumes of any kind inside your vehicle,
have your dealer inspect and fix your vehicle immediately. Do
not drive if you smell exhaust fumes. These fumes are harmful and
could kill you.
In order to guard against fumes entering your vehicle, the exhaust
system and body ventilation system should be checked by a qualified
technician:
•Each time the vehicle is raised for service.
•Whenever a change in exhaust system noise is noted.
•Whenever the vehicle has been damaged by impact from another
vehicle, object or road obstruction.
In order to afford proper operation, all air inlet vents should be kept
clear of snow, leaves and other debris.
If you run the engine while stopped (idled) in an unconfined area, open
the windows at least 2.5 cm (one inch) and adjust the heating or air
conditioning to draw outside air into the vehicle as follows:
•If your vehicle has outside air control vents, open them fully.
•Set fan speed on high with function control to any position except
OFF or MAX A/C and the temperature control on any desired position.
•Adjust air control system to force outside air into the vehicle.
BACKING UP
To avoid the possibility of personal injury while backing the
vehicle, always be sure your vehicle’s path is clear.
Before backing your vehicle, be sure you can do so safely. If anything
behind the cab limits your view, do not rely on mirrors alone to assure
that your intended path is clear. If other persons are in the vicinity, have
someone standing well behind the vehicle and outside your intended
path - visible through an exterior mirror - guide you as you back up.

Engine oil and filter recommendations—Cummins B and Caterpillar
3126 B engines
Refer to the appropriate engine operator’s manual for information on the
engine oil.
Engine oil and filter recommendations—7.3L Power Stroke engine
To help achieve proper engine performance and durability, it is important
that you:
•Use only engine lubricating oils and oil filters of the proper quality.
•Change the engine oil and filterno laterthan the recommended
service interval. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for the
appropriate intervals for changing the engine oil and filter.
•Change your engine oil and filter more frequently if your vehicle
operation includes extended periods of idling or low-speed operation,
driving for a long time in cold temperatures or short driving distances.
Diesel engines require specially formulated oil to resist contamination.
Proper quality oils also provide maximum efficiency of the crankcase
ventilation system which reduces air pollution.
Use Motorcraft motor oil or an equivalent oil meeting Ford specification
WSS-M2C171–B or API service category designation CH-4/SJ. Do not use
oils labeled with only one of the category designations SG, SH, SJ, CE,
CF-4, CH-4 or CG-4, as they could cause engine damage.
Diesel engine oils with improved fuel economy properties (energy
conserving) are currently available. If you use an energy conserving oil,
be sure it meets Ford specification WSS-M2C171–B or API service
category designation CH-4/SJ and is of the proper viscosity grade for the
temperature range in which you expect to operate your vehicle. Some
energy conserving oils do not meet the requirements necessary for your
diesel engine.

SERVICING YOUR WHEELS AND TIRES
Wheel assembly
Your vehicle is fitted with hub
piloted wheels and two-element
swiveling lug nuts (20 & 22 mm).
Do not use taper type wheels or ball
seat wheel nuts.
•Do not paint the mating face of the hub/drum.
•Do not paint the two-element swiveling lug nuts or wheel stud.
•Do not allow an excessive thickness of paint to build between the disc
wheel mounting surfaces.
•Do not install disc wheels where the paint has not fully cured.
•At wheel changes, ensure mounting faces are clean and free of rust,
dirt and excess paint.
If fasteners are needed, use only Ford recommended replacement parts.
•To maintain the desired
torque/tension relation between
nut body and flange, it is
necessary to use clean engine oil
meeting Ford specification
WSS-M2C153-G between nut body and flange. Lubricate the nut body
and flange any time a wheel is removed.
The M20 & M22 wheel nuts are right-hand threads. Refer to the
following chart for approved wheel lug nut torque.
Wheel type Bolt size Wheel nut torque
10-hole disc
285.75 mm bolt circleM22 (22 by 1.5 mm) 610-677 Nm

The disc wheel nuts on your vehicle were tightened before delivery.
Recheck torque of nuts at 160 km (100 miles) and 800 km (500 miles) of
new vehicle operation or any time a wheel is removed. Reset to
recommended torque levels.
