Range inhibit:Illuminates when
the transmission is not engaged in
the selected gear. The warning light
will go off when the gearshift lever
is adjusted in to the appropriate gear.
Refer to the Transmission Operator’s Manual for more information.
Charging system:Illuminates when
the battery is not charging properly.
Wait to start:Indicates the air
intake heater is in operation and
special starting procedures are
required. Refer to theDriving
chapter.
If equipped with an air intake heater, DO NOT use ether or any
other starting fluids. The use of starting fluids (ether) in an
engine equipped with an air intake heater could result in damage
and/or personal injury.
Water in fuel (if equipped):
During refueling it is possible for
water-contaminated diesel fuel to be
pumped into your fuel tank. Your
vehicle fuel system is equipped with
a fuel filter/water separator to remove water from the fuel. The indicator
light illuminates when the fuel filter/water separator has a significant
quantity of water, or when the ignition key is switched to the START
position. If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible, shut off the engine and drain the filter
bowl. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in extensive
damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system.
To drain the fuel filter/water separator (refer toMaintenance and
Specificationschapter for procedure), rotate the valve at the bottom of
the filter assembly allowing water to drain from the system. Close the
valve upon completion.

Engine oil and filter recommendations–6.0L 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 general maintenance information section
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.
For normal or severe service, use Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil
conforming to Ford Specification WSS-M2C171–C or API Service
categories CI-4 or CI-4/SL. If CI-4 oil is not available, CH-4 is acceptable.
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–D or API service
category designation CI-4/SL 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.

* Heavy duty trailer towing with ambient temperatures above 50°F
(10°C) requires 15W-40 engine oil.
Using the chart, determine which SAE viscosity grade best suits the
temperature range in which you expect to operate your vehicle. The use
of the correct oil viscosity grade for diesel engines is important for
satisfactory engine operation.
A symbol has been developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API)
to help you select the proper engine oil. The symbol will be included on
the oil container you purchase.
The top section of the symbol shows
the API service category
designation. This should be CI-4/SL.
The center section of the API
symbol shows the SAE viscosity
grade.
The lower section of the API symbol will stateenergy conservingif the
engine oil has been proven to have fuel savings capabilities.
Use a Ford engine oil filter, part number FL-1995 or equivalent. This
filter protects your engine by filtering harmful, abrasive or sludge
particles.

Catalytic converter
If your Diesel engine is equipped with a catalytic converter, it is
important to review the maintenance schedule to insure proper
functioning of the catalytic converter. Also, take precautions not to
damage the catalytic converter when servicing your engine or storing
your vehicle.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter/muffler,do
notblend waste oil with Diesel fuel. Operate only on low sulfur (less
than 500 parts per million sulfur) Diesel fuel with a cetane value of 45 or
higher.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with a vertical exhaust pipe, it is very
important to have and maintain a rain cap on the exhaust pipe to
prevent water from entering the exhaust system and catalytic converter.
Any water entering the catalytic converter may damage the catalyst and
affect the function of the converter.
Air induction system
Once each year, perform a complete inspection of the air induction
system. In areas where road salt is used, the inspection consists of
disassembling the joints of each aluminum component and inspecting for
salt build-up, presence of chlorine that can cause aluminum particles to
flake off and enter the engine combustion chambers.
If evidence of corrosion is found (usually at the pipe connections), use a
wire brush to clean the inside of the pipes and inside the rubber hoses.
If the intake pipes are pitted at the joint ends, use RTV silicone to seal
the joints. Be certain that no excess material is on the inside of the pipes
that can be pulled into the engine. If the service condition of the pipes,
hoses or clamps is questionable, replace the defective part(s).
Be sure that prior to reassembly all dust and debris has been cleaned out
of the pipes and couplings with a clean, damp rag.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or death when performing
maintenance to any turbocharged engine with engine air inlet
piping disconnected, a turbocharger compressor air inlet protective
shield should be installed over the turbocharger air inlet.

Do not blend used engine oil with diesel fuel under any
circumstances.Blending used oil with the fuel will significantly increase
your vehicle’s exhaust emissions and reduce engine life due to increased
internal wear.
Many of the world’s automakers approved the World-wide Fuel Charter
that recommends diesel fuel specifications to provide improved
performance and emission control system protection for your vehicle.
Diesel fuel that meet the World-wide Fuel Charter should be used when
available. Ask your fuel supplier about fuel that meet the World-Wide
Fuel Charter.
Running out of fuel
Avoid running out of fuel as this will allow air to enter the fuel system,
which will make restarting the vehicle difficult.
If you have run out of fuel:
•If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks,add at least 4–5
gallons (15–19 liters) of fuel to each tank before attempting to restart
the engine.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a Caterpillar engine,the fuel
system must be primed before attempting to restart the engine. Refer
to the engine operator’s manual for instructions on priming the engine.
•Use caution not to overheat and damage the starterby cranking
the engine for an excessive period of time. You may need to crank the
engine for a longer time than normal. If the engine fails to start in 30
seconds, turn the ignition to the OFF position and wait for two
minutes before cranking the engine again.
•Any remaining trapped air will self-purge from the fuel system once
the engine starts running.
•
The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in the
fuel system. This is normal and should stop after a short period of time.
Fuel filter/water separator
Do not drain water separator while engine is running. Fuel may
ignite if separator is drained while engine is running or vehicle is
moving.
The fuel filter/water separator removes any contaminated particles
and/or water from the fuel before the fuel enters the engine.
The fuel filter/water separator should be drained as recommended in the
general maintenance information section.

Draining the fuel filter/water separator - Caterpillar engine
1. With the engine off, open the
drain valve located at the bottom of
the fuel filter/water separator by
turning it counterclockwise.
2. Drain the filter until clear fuel is visible.
3. Turn the drain valve clockwise to close the valve. Do not overtighten
the drain valve as this could cause damage to the fuel filter/water
separator.
Draining the fuel filter/water separator–6.0L Power Stroke engine
The vehicle is equipped with a Horizontal Fuel Conditioner Module
(HFCM) located on the frame-rail under the driver-side floorboard near
the transmission.
Water should be drained from the
module assembly whenever the
warning light comes on or every
5,000 miles (8,000 km). The WATER
IN FUEL light will come on when
approximately 0.2 pints (100 cc) of water accumulates in the module.
Replace the fuel filter with Motorcraft Part No. F81Z-9N184–AA
(FD-4596).
1. Stop the vehicle andshut offthe engine.
The vehicle must be stopped with the engine off when draining
the HFCM. Fuel may ignite if separator is drained while the
engine is running or vehicle is moving.
