ABOUT THIS SUPPLEMENT
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 your Owner
’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.
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 will stay in the system ’s
memory cannot be erased even if the
modification is removed. Ford Motor
Company, Ford of Canada, Ford of Mexico
and service or repair facilities can retrieve
this information when servicing your vehicle.
Ford Motor Company may use this
information to determine if your warranty
covers any needed repairs.
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 Engine
chapter, See Starting a Diesel Engine
(page 9). It is important to read and
understand this material in order to
maintain the best service life for your
engine. Ford may discontinue models or change
specifications without any notice and
without incurring obligations.
Warnings WARNING
Throughout this guide, you will find
warnings identified by the warning
symbol. Warnings remind you to be
especially careful to reduce the risk of
personal injury. Breaking-In Your Vehicle
Your vehicle does not need an extensive
break-in. Try not to drive continuously at
the same speed for the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers) 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 kilometers) before towing a trailer.
Make sure you use the specified engine oil.
See Technical Specifications (page 56
).
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. See Engine Oil Check (page
42
).
Diesel Engine Information
The diesel engine fuel system is a
pressurized two-stage filtration system
and consists of:
• A frame-mounted Fuel and Water
Separator primary filter with an electric
fuel pump and water drain
• An engine-mounted secondary fuel
filter
• A fuel injector for each cylinder (8
total)
• A high-pressure fuel pump
3
Super Duty (TFA) Introduction

•
A high-pressure fuel rail for each
cylinder bank (2 total)
• Numerous high-pressure pipes from
the high-pressure pump to the rails,
and rails to the injectors
The fuel and water separator removes
both water and impurities from the fuel.
The engine mounted filter filters finer
impurities from the diesel fuel. The
engine-mounted fuel filter and the fuel and
water separator filter should be changed
at the recommended service interval or
when indicated by the information display
LOW FUEL PRESSURE message. Refer to
the scheduled maintenance information
in this supplement for more information.
The fuel and water separator should be
drained at regular intervals (recommended
at every oil change) or when indicated by
the information display and water in fuel
indicator light. See Fuel Quality (page
14).
Proper fuel filter maintenance and prompt
water draining when the water in fuel light
illuminates is essential to prevent injection
equipment damage. Ignoring the water in
fuel light can cause your vehicle to go into
a reduced power mode.
A frame-mounted electric fuel pump
located inside the fuel and water separator
draws fuel from the fuel tank to provide
pressurized fuel to the engine. The fuel
pump contains a pressure relief valve for
overpressure protection in the event of
restricted flow.
The fuel injection system is controlled
through the powertrain control module. 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
modified engine performance
characteristics are normal.
If these modified engine performance
characteristics persist for an extended
period and either the service engine soon
or powertrain malfunction,reduced power,
electronic throttle control light is
illuminated, have the system checked by
an authorized dealer.
Service engine soon
Powertrain malfunction, reduced
power, electronic throttle control
Lubrication system
It is important to change the engine oil at
the recommended service intervals to
maintain oil viscosity. Extending the oil and
filter change interval beyond the
recommended interval can negatively
affect engine performance, fuel economy
and engine life. See
Engine Oil Check
(page 42).
Fast start glow plug system
The diesel engine glow system consists of:
• Eight glow plugs (one per cylinder)
• Glow Plug Control Module
• Engine Coolant Temperature sensor
• Barometric pressure sensor
• Environmental temperature sensor
4
Super Duty (TFA) Introduction

The powertrain and glow plug control
modules electronically control the glow
plug system. After you switch the ignition
on the glow plug control module
immediately energizes the glow plugs. The
glow plug control module using the engine
coolant temperature, barometric pressure
sensor and environmental temperature
sensor will determine how long the glow
plugs stay energized. The required time for
the glow plugs to be energized decreases
as the coolant temperature, barometric
pressure and environmental temperature
increase.
Glow Plug
Engine and secondary cooling system
The cooling system contains a primary
cooling loop to cool the engine and
exhaust gases and a secondary cooling
loop to cool the transmission, exhaust
gases, charge air, and fuel. The coolant
serves three primary purposes: to provide
heat transfer, freeze point protection, and
corrosion protection using additives.
Vehicles with diesel engines typically are
used to carry heavy loads and accumulate
mileage rapidly. These two factors may
cause the additives in the coolant to wear
out in a shorter time. For more information
about coolant additives and coolant
change intervals See General
Maintenance Information (page 58). .
Operating the engine with insufficient
coolant or coolant additive can cause
severe engine damage
Selective catalytic reduction system
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective
catalytic reduction system designed to
reduce emission levels of nitrogen oxides
from the exhaust of your diesel engine. This
system relies on the use of diesel exhaust
fluid that you must replenish at certain intervals. Failure to maintain proper diesel
exhaust fluid levels or if the diesel exhaust
fluid becomes contaminated will result in
vehicle speed limitations or result in your
vehicle entering an idle-only mode. See
Selective Catalytic Reduction System
(page
20).
Speed control
If your vehicle speed goes outside a
predetermined range from the set speed,
the RSM (Resume) function will not reset
your vehicle speed. You will need to reset
your vehicle speed with the SET+ or SET-
button after reaching the desired speed
using the accelerator pedal.
Minor Troubleshooting Guide
If the engine won ’t crank WARNING
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after
handling. Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim,
do not go on at all or when the ignition is
turned to START the lights become dim or
go out, the battery connections may be
loose or corroded, or the battery may be
discharged. If there is a clicking or
stuttering sound coming from the engine
compartment when you turn the key to
START, this may also indicate a loose or
corroded battery connection.
Check the battery connections at the
battery posts, cable connection to the
engine grounding point and at the starter
connection.
If you suspect a discharged battery, have
it checked and corrected.
