•On F-Super Duty vehicles (6.4L engine),a frame-mounted
Horizontal Fuel Conditioner Module (HFCM)
•an engine-mounted secondary fuel filter
•a unit injector for each cylinder
The FCM/HFCM acts as a primary fuel filter/water separator which
removes both water and impurities from the fuel. The engine-mounted
fuel filter and the FCM/HFCM filter should be changed at the
recommended service interval. Refer to thescheduled maintenance
informationin this supplement for more information.
The FCM/HFCM should be drained at regular intervals or when the
WATER IN FUEL light illuminates in the instrument cluster (E-Series) or
when the WATER IN FUEL message appears in the message center
(F-Super Duty).
The fuel injectors are located in the center of the combustion chambers
in the cylinder head between the rocker arm assemblies. The glow plug
system and fuel injection system are controlled through the Powertrain
Control Module (PCM) and Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM) (6.0L
engine only).
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by a frame-mounted electric fuel pump.
The fuel pump provides pressurized fuel to the engine and is
electronically controlled by the fuel pump PCM relay. The fuel pump
contains a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection in the event
of restricted flow.
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 features are
intended to modify engine performance characteristics. If these modified
engine performance characteristics persist for an extended period or the
Check Engine (
) or Powertrain malfunction/Reduced
power/Electronic throttle control light (
) is illuminated, seek
service from your authorized dealer.
Lubrication system
Extended oil change intervals can negatively affect engine performance,
fuel economy and engine life. Refer to the engine oil specification chart
located underEngine oil specificationsin theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter of this supplement.
