POWER STROKE DIESEL ENGINE
Note:Your vehicle’s powertrain control systems can detect and store
information about vehicle modifications that increase horsepower and
torque output such as whether or not performance-enhancing powertrain
components commonly referred to as “performance chips” have been
used. This information cannot be erased and will stay in the system’s
memory even if the modification is removed. The information can be
retrieved by Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and
repair facilities when servicing your vehicle. This information may be
used to determine if repairs will be covered by warranty.
Note:Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/transmission
and/or exhaust system damage; refer to your warranty information for
more information.
Your new diesel engine will feel, drive and function somewhat differently
than a gasoline engine. Therefore it is very important that you read and
thoroughly familiarize yourself and others operating the vehicle with this
guide. A special procedure for turning off the diesel engine is in the
Starting and Stopping the Enginechapter.It is important to read
and understand this material in order to maintain the best
service life for your engine.
This supplement will acquaint you with the Power Stroke diesel engine.
It provides recommendations on engine care and operating procedures.
For complete vehicle information, also refer to yourOwner’s Manual
included with the vehicle. It also describes equipment and gives
specifications for equipment that was in effect when this guide was
approved for printing, and should be considered a permanent part of the
vehicle.
Ford may discontinue models or change specifications without any notice
and without incurring obligations.
WARNINGS
Throughout this guide, you will find warnings identified by the warning

Diesel Exhaust Fluid
With the key in the on position, this
light will illuminate if the exhaust
fluid is contaminated and/or low.
SeeDiesel exhaust fluidin theFuel and Refuelingchapter for more
information.
Glow Plug Pre-Heat
With the key in the on position, this
light will illuminate if glow plug heat
is necessary as a starting aid. Wait
until the light goes off before starting. Refer toCold weather startingin
theStarting and Stopping the Enginechapter of this supplement.
After the engine starts, the light should turn off. The light should always
illuminate at least momentarily when the engine is cold and the ignition
is turned to on.
Water In Fuel
WARNING:Do not drain the DFCM while the engine is running.
Fuel may ignite if the separator is drained while the engine is
running or the vehicle is moving.
Note:Air will enter into the fuel system if the DFCM is drained while
the system is running. The engine will not operate properly if air enters
the system.
During refueling, it is possible for
water-contaminated diesel fuel to be
pumped into your tank. Your
vehicle’s fuel system is equipped with a fuel filter/water separator to
remove water from the fuel. The water in fuel light will illuminate when
the DFCM has a significant quantity of water in it.
If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, shut off the engine, then drain the DFCM. Refer
toFuel filter/water separatorin theFuel and refuelingchapter of this
supplement for the drain procedure. Allowing water to stay in the system
could result in extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection
system.

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 theMaintenancechapter 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.
Make sure 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.
Cold Weather Starting
WARNING:Do not use starting fluid, such as ether, in the air
intake system (see air filter decal). Such fluid could cause
immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.
WARNING:Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel
fuel. This practice creates a serious fire hazard and causes
engine performance problems.
It is recommended that the engine block heater be used for starting
when the temperature is -10°F (-23°C) or colder. Refer toEngine block
heater (if equipped)in theStarting and Stopping the Enginechapter
of yourOwner’s Manual.
When operating in cold weather, Motorcraft® cetane improvers or
non-alcohol-based cetane improvers from a reputable manufacturer may
be used as needed.
Starting and Stopping the Engine
8
2013 Diesel(67l)
Supplement, 1st Printing
USA(fus)

Do not crank the engine for more than 10 seconds as starter damage
may occur. If the engine fails to start, turn the key to 3 (off) and wait
30 seconds before trying again.
1. Turn the key to on without
turning the key to start. Do not
start the engine until the
glow-plug pre-heat indicator turns off.
2. When the glow plug pre-heat indicator turns off, turn the key to
start, then release the key as soon as the engine starts. The glow
plugs may remain on for a period of time after engine start. If the
engine is not started before the glow plug activation time ends, the
glow plugs will need to be reset by turning the key to off.
3. After the engine starts, allow it to idle for about 15 seconds. This is
to protect the engine. Do not increase engine speed until the oil
pressure gauge indicates normal pressure.
ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an engine idle shutdown system. This
system automatically shuts down your engine when it has been idling in
P (Park) or N (Neutral) for five minutes (parking brake set) or
15 minutes (parking brake not set). When the engine idle shutdown
process has started:
•A chime sounds and the information display will showENGINE
TURNS OFF IN 30(seconds) and start counting down.
•The 5 or 15 minute timer can be restarted by changing the position
of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal or the park brake within the
final 30 seconds.
•When the timer reaches zero, the engine shuts down and this
message will appear in the information displayENGINE TURNED
OFF.
•One minute after the engine has shut down, the electrical system
simulates key off, even though the ignition is still in the on position,
initiating normal accessory delay period.
•The ignition must be moved to the off position to reset the system
before restarting the vehicle.
The engine idle shutdown idle timer does not start if:
•The engine is operating in power take-off (PTO) mode.
•The engine coolant temperature is below 60°F (16°C).
•The exhaust emission control device (DPF) is regenerating.

STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to the off position.
To prolong engine life (especially after extended high speed, high
ambient temperature, or high GVW/GCW operation, such as heavy loads
and/or heavy trailers), it is recommended that a hot engine be idled for
3-5 minutes. This allows the turbocharged engine to cool down. For more
information on GVW/GCW, see theLoad Carryingchapter in your
Owner’s Manual.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Note:Idling in cold weather does not heat the engine to its normal
operating temperature. Long periods of idling, especially in cold weather,
can cause a buildup of deposits which can cause engine damage.
Changing to a lighter grade engine oil also makes starting easier under
these conditions. Refer toEngine oil specificationsin theMaintenance
chapter of this supplement.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperatures. Diesel fuel which
has not been properly formulated for the ambient conditions may gel
which can clog the fuel filters. One indication that the fuel filter(s) may
be clogged is if the engine starts, stalls after a short time, and then does
not restart. If you have been using biodiesel, you may need to use a fuel
with lower biodiesel content, try another brand, or discontinue using
biodiesel. Do not use alcohol based additives to correct fuel gelling. This
may result in damage to the fuel injectors/system. Use the proper
anti-gel & performance improver product as listed in theTechnical
Specificationssection in theCapacities and Specificationschapter.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel fuel conditioner module (DFCM)
which recirculates fuel from the engine to help prevent fuel filter
clogging. To avoid engine fuel starvation during cold weather operation
of 32°F (0°C) or below, it is recommended that the fuel level in your
tank should not be allowed to drop below
14full. This helps prevent air
from entering the fuel system and stalling the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with a an SCR system which uses diesel exhaust
fluid (DEF) to operate properly. DEF must be replenished at certain
intervals. When filling the vehicle’s DEF tank in cold weather, special
care must be taken to prevent damage to the DEF tank. For proper cold
weather fill procedure, seeSelective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System
in theFuel and Refuelingchapter.
Starting and Stopping the Engine

In cold weather below 32°F (0°C), the engine may slowly increase to a
higher idle speed if left idling in P (Park). As the engine warms-up, the
engine sound level decreases due to the activation of PCM-controlled
sound reduction features.
If your vehicle is operated in a heavy snow storm or blowing snow
conditions, the engine air induction may become partially clogged with
snow and/or ice. If this occurs, the engine may experience a significant
reduction in power output. At the earliest opportunity, clear all the snow
and/or ice away from inside the air filter assembly. Remove the air
cleaner cover and the pleated paper filter, leaving the foam filter in and
remove any snow or ice. Make sure the foam filter is installed correctly
in place. Remove any debris, snow and/or ice on the foam filter by
brushing the surface with soft brush. Do not use water, solvents, or a
hard brush for cleaning the foam filter.
In order to operate the engine in temperatures of 32°F (0°C) or lower,
read the following instructions:
•Make sure that the batteries are of sufficient size and are fully
charged. Check other electrical components to make sure they are in
optimum condition.
•Use the proper coolant solution at the concentration recommended to
protect the engine against damage from freezing.
•Try to keep the fuel tank full as much as possible at the end of
operation to prevent condensation in the fuel system.
•Make sure you use proper cold weather engine oil and that it is at its
proper level. Also, if necessary, make sure to follow the engine oil and
filter change schedule found under theSpecial operating conditions
section listed in thescheduled maintenance information.
•At temperatures of -10°F (-23°C) or below, it is recommended that
you use an engine block heater to improve cold engine starting.
•If operating in arctic temperatures of -20°F (-29°C) or lower, consult
your truck dealer for information about special cold weather
equipment and precautions.
The following cold weather idling guidelines are recommended:
•Motorcraft® cetane improvers or non-alcohol-based cetane improvers
from a reputable manufacturer may be used as needed.
•Maintain the engine cooling system properly.
•Avoid shutting the engine down after an extensive idling period. Drive
the vehicle for several miles with the engine at normal operating
temperatures under a moderate load.
•Consider using an engine block heater.
•For extended idle times use an approved idle speed increase device.

Winter Operating Tips for Arctic Operation -20°F (-29°C) and Below
The following information is provided as a guideline only, and is not
intended to be the only source of possible solutions in resolving extreme
cold temperature issues.
Starting Aids:
WARNING:Do not use starting fluid, such as ether, in the air
intake system (see air filter decal). Such fluid could cause
immediate explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.
The use of the factory engine block heater assists in engine starting in
extreme cold ambient temperatures. Refer toEngine block heaterin the
Starting and Stopping the Enginechapter of yourOwner’s Manual.
Idle Control:
•Your vehicle may have a factory option for a stationary elevated idle
control (SEIC) through dash-mounted upfitter switches which allows
the operator to elevate the idle rpm for extended idle periods, as well
as aftermarket equipment such as PTO operation. This feature must
be configured even if ordered from the factory. See your authorized
dealer for required upfitting.
Operation in Snow and Rain
Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall or extreme rain conditions may feed
excessive amounts of snow/water into the air intake system. This could
plug/soak the air filter with snow and may cause the engine to lose
power and possibly shut down.
The following actions are recommended after operating the vehicle up to
200 miles (320 kilometers) in snowfall or extreme rain:
•Snow:At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and clear all the
snow and ice from the air filter housing inlet (do not remove the
foam filter) and reset the air filter restriction gauge.Note:Removal
of the foam filter degrades vehicle performance during snow and hot
weather conditions.
•Extreme rain:The air filter dries after about 15–30 minutes at
highway speeds. At the earliest opportunity, open the hood and reset
the air filter restriction gauge.
Refer toAir filter and restriction gaugein theMaintenancechapter of
this supplement for more information.
