Important notice
Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if equipped
with the Ford ambulance preparation package. In addition, Ford urges
ambulance manufacturers to follow the recommendation of theFord
Incomplete Vehicle Manual, Ford Truck Body Builder’s Layout Book
(and pertinent supplements) and theQualified Vehicle Modifiers
Guidelines.Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford ambulance
preparation package to produce an ambulance voids the Ford warranty
and could result in elevated underbody temperatures, fuel
overpressurization and the risk of fuel expulsion and fires. To determine
whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford ambulance preparation
package, inspect the information plate on the driver’s side door pillar.
Contact the manufacturer of your vehicle to determine whether the
ambulance manufacturer’s followed Ford’s recommendations.
WARNINGS
Throughout this guide, you will find warnings identified by the
symbol
. Warnings remind you to be especially careful to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust
themselves to other parts.
Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 km) before towing a
trailer. Make sure you use the specified engine oil by checking the engine
oil specification chart underEngine oilin theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter.
Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during
the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these
additives may prevent piston ring seating. SeeEngine oilin the
Maintenance and Specificationschapter of this supplement for more
information on oil usage.
DIESEL ENGINE INFORMATION
The Diesel engine fuel system consists of:
•On E-Series vehicles (6.0L engine),a Diesel Fuel Conditioner
Module (DFCM) mounted on the driver-side frame rail next to the
transmission

STARTING THE ENGINE
Read all starting instructions carefully before you start your vehicle.
For temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the use of the correct grade engine
oil is essential for proper operation. Refer toEngine oil specifications
in theMaintenance and Specificationschapter for more information.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a cold weather starting strategy that
prevents severe engine damage by assisting in engine lubrication
warm-up. In extremely cold ambient temperatures, this strategy activates
and prevents the accelerator pedal from being used for 30 seconds after
starting the vehicle. By not allowing the accelerator pedal to be used, the
engine oil is allowed to properly lubricate the bearings preventing engine
damage due to lack of proper lubrication. After the 30 second warm-up
period, the accelerator pedal will be operational again as long as the
pedal is not being pressed when the 30 second time limit expires. When
starting the engine in extremely cold temperatures (-15°F [–26°C]), it is
recommended to allow the engine to idle for several minutes before
driving the vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission,make sure
the parking brake is fully set before you turn the key. Depress the clutch
pedal and place the gearshift in the neutral position. The clutch must be
fully depressed in order to operate the starter. Do not press the
accelerator during starting.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission,ensure
the gearshift lever is in P (Park) and the parking brake is fully set before
you turn the key. Do not press the accelerator during starting.
Engine-driven cooling fan (fan clutch)
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine driven cooling fan drive (also
called a fan clutch). This fan drive changes the fan speed to match the
vehicle’s changing cooling air flow requirements. Fan speed, fan noise
level and fuel consumption all will increase based on the driving
conditions that include trailer towing, hill climbing, heavy loads, high
speed and high ambient temperature, individually or in combination. The
fan drive is designed to provide the minimum fan speed (and resulting
fan noise and fuel consumption) required to meet the ever changing
vehicle cooling air flow requirements. You will hear the amount of fan
noise increasing and decreasing as the engine power requirements and
vehicle driving conditions change as you drive. This is to be expected as
being normal to the operation of your vehicle. High levels of fan noise
might also be heard when your engine is first started, and should
normally decrease after driving for a short time.

FORD SUPER DUTY 2010 2.G Diesel Supplement Manual •Do not use the winter grille cover when temperatures are above 50°F
(10°C). Use of the cover in these conditions could cause your vehicle

•Do not use the winter grille cover when temperatures are above 50°F
(10°C). Use of the cover in these conditions could cause your vehicle
to overheat. If this happens while the cover is being used, remove the
cover and store properly.
•Do not use the winter grille cover above 32°F (0°C) if towing a trailer.
The added power needed to tow a trailer requires the radiator grille to
have full airflow under all conditions. Your vehicle may overheat if the
cover is used while towing a trailer.
•Do not modify the winter grille cover. The winter grille cover does not
block some sections of the front of the vehicle because these openings
are needed to provide enough airflow to the radiator and air cooler in
extremely cold temperatures.
Installation instructions
The “Installation Instructions” included with your winter grille cover
packaging explain how to install and remove your vehicle’s winter grille
cover. When installing or removing the winter grille cover, refer to the
“Usage guidelines”listed previously. When you first attempt to fit the
winter grille cover, it may appear to be undersized. This is due to the
nature of the special vinyl, which will stretch during installation to
ensure a tight fit. For this reason, the initial installation of the winter
grille cover is best performed when the cover is warm.
Engine block heater (if equipped)
Refer to theDrivingchapter in theOwner’s Guide.
Rapid Heat supplemental heating system (if equipped)
The optional Rapid Heat feature is an electrically powered device that is
designed to provide supplemental heat during engine warm up. For
maximum effectiveness mid to low blower speed is recommended during
initial warm up. When operating in automatic mode (when equipped) the
climate control unit will determine the appropriate blower speed for
existing conditions.
Note:Additional aftermarket electrical loads operated during engine
warm up may impact the performance of the Rapid heat supplemental
heater.
