2002 FORD F750 check engine

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 (450-500
lb-ft)
8-hole disc 19.5x6.75
mm bolt circleM20 (20 by 1.5 mm) 610-677 Nm (450-500
lb-ft)
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.
Tires are one of the weaker weight carrying components of the
vehicle. Do not overload the vehicle beyond safe load carrying
capacity.
Avoid hammering rim with steel hammers.
Never run the engine with one wheel off the ground.
Failure to retighten wheel lug nuts as required could allow the
wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, possibly causing
loss of vehicle control and collision. Loose wheel studs may also cause
shimmy and vibration.
Use of aftermarket wheel assemblies is not recommended; they
may be incompatible with your vehicle and may result in
equipment failure and possible injury. Replacement with used wheels is
not advised; they may have been treated harshly or have high mileage
and could fail without warning.
Maintenance and Specifications
216

Refer to the Ford Service Manual applicable to your vehicle for proper
tightening procedures and torque specifications.
Periodically check the oil level on oil filled front bearing hubs. If
necessary, add oil through the filler plug so the oil level is between the
ADD and FULL marks indicated on the hub. Do not overfill. Overfilling
can result in oil on brake linings.
Refer to your Scheduled Maintenance Guide for fluid level checks and
change intervals for the front hubs.
Your front hubs may be filled with an optional synthetic fluid which
allows use of the extended service intervals. A green colored filler plug
identifies use of the synthetic fluid.

MINOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Diesel engine
For troubleshooting information, refer to the diesel engine operator's
manual.
If engine won't crank
For troubleshooting information, refer to the engine operator's manual.
Maintenance and Specifications
219

If engine cranks but won't start
For troubleshooting information, refer to the engine operator's manual.
If engine runs hot
For troubleshooting information, refer to the engine operator's manual.
If fuses burn out
Burned-out or ªblown-outº fuses or circuit breaker tripping (if equipped)
usually indicate an electrical short circuit, although a fuse may
occasionally fail from vibration. Insert a second fuse or reset the breaker
(if equipped). If this fuse immediately burns out or the breaker (if
equipped) trips and you cannot locate the fuse, return your vehicle to
your dealer for a circuit check.
If lamp bulbs burn out
Repeated lamp burn-out usually indicates a loose connection, either at
the lamp socket, the system ground or a malfunctioning voltage
regulator. If examination does not indicate the cause of the trouble,
return your vehicle to your dealer for inspection.
If headlamps flash on and off
If headlamps flash on and off at regular intervals, the system circuit
breaker (if equipped) is operating, indicating a short circuit or overload.
Take your vehicle to your dealer for a circuit check.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
The Scheduled Maintenance Services listed in this section are required
because they are considered essential to the life and performance of
your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company recommends you perform the Owner Maintenance
Services listed in this section. These services are matters of day-to-day
care that are important to the proper operation of your vehicle. In
addition to the conditions described in the Owner Maintenance Checklist,
be alert for any unusual noise, vibration or other indication that your
vehicle may need service and attend to it promptly.
Use only recommended fuels, lubricants, fluids and service parts
conforming to Ford specifications. Motorcraft parts are designed and
built for best performance in your vehicle. Using these parts for
replacement is your assurance that Ford-Built quality stays in your
vehicle.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
The maintenance or replacement of the emission control devices (or
systems) in your new Ford Motor Company vehicle (or engine) may be
performed at your expense. These services may be performed by any
automotive repair establishment or individual using automotive parts
equivalent to those with which your vehicle or engine was originally
equipped. If any parts other than Ford, Motorcraft, or Ford authorized,
remanufactured parts are used for maintenance replacements (or for the
service) of components effecting the emission control, the owner should
be assured that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be
equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company Parts in performance and
durability. Please consult your warranty information booklet for complete
warranty information.
Authorized dealer maintenance
Your authorized dealer specializes in knowing all about Ford Motor
Company vehicles rather than knowing a little about all makes.
There are Ford or Ford of Canada dealer service shops ready to serve
you wherever you drive in the U.S. or Canada. They stock Ford and
Motorcraft parts, and Ford Chemicals and lubricants. You can be
confident that these meet the same exacting design and quality
standards as those used to build the vehicle originally. Dealer Service
Technicians have available training in the latest product developments
and service techniques.

General Maintenance Checklist. To further help minimize noise emissions
degradation throughout the life of the vehicle, Ford Motor Company
recommends that this vehicle should be operated in the manner
described within the Owner Guide. Caution should be exercised by the
owner when installing replacement parts to be sure that a tampering act
(as outlined above) is not committed. Note any inspection and service
performed in the Maintenance Record.
