You may experience several conditions in which the engine idle speed will
be elevated above the base operating range. Conditions such as low battery
voltage, PTO operation, cold engine warm-up and DPF regeneration process
will elevate the engine idle speed.
All of these conditions noted above are NORMAL and do not require the vehicle
to be taken to the dealership for diagnostic testing or service.
Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (ULSD) -- Your Power Stroke®®®®®®®®®®
®
requires ultra low sulfur diesel fuel (15 ppm maximum).
Do not use any other fuels.
Do NOT use Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (500 ppm
maximum) or non-highway diesel fuel (agricultural
diesel) higher than 500 ppm. These higher sulfur
fuels will lead to the malfunction of emissions-related
components and significant damage to the engine
may occur.
The use of biodiesel is acceptable as
long as the rating does not exceed
5% (B5). Any percentage of biodiesel
requires you to maintain your vehicle using the severe duty
maintenance schedule (e.g., oil change every 5,000 miles).UL TRA-LOW SULFUR

Use the recommended CJ-4 engine
oil in your 6.4L Power Stroke®®®®®®®®®®® engine.
This engine oil has been designed to
operate properly with the new
emissions standards.
If your vehicle is operated at high speeds
while fully loaded, let the engine idle
three to five minutes before shutting it
off. This will allow the turbo chargers to
cool sufficiently and prevent the engine
from overheating.
A winter grill cover is now available
as a Production option for Canadian
customers and select cold weather
U.S. states. The grill cover is also
available at authorized Ford dealers
for customers to purchase. The cover
can be installed by the customer when
heavy snow conditions exist. It must
be removed at temperatures above
50˚F (10˚C) or above 32˚F (0˚C)
when towing a trailer. Using the engine block heater during
cold weather is very important to ensure
proper starting of the vehicle and
adequate lubrication during start-up.
This will prevent cold weather start-up
engine damage. A block heater must be
used when temperatures are below -10˚F
(-23˚C.) For conditions when the coolant
temperature is below -10˚F (-23˚C), the
Message Center will display a 30 second
countdown timer. During this time, the
engine will be limited to idle for a period
of 30 seconds from engine start before
normal operation can be continued. After
this time has elapsed, a message “OK to
Drive” will be displayed for five seconds.
These messages are NORMAL.
