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

Super Duty (TFA) Introduction

SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective
catalytic reduction system to help reduce
emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from
the exhaust of the diesel engine. The
system automatically injects diesel
exhaust fluid into the exhaust system to
enable proper selective catalytic reduction
function.
Importance of maintaining the
Diesel Exhaust Fluid level
In order for the selective catalytic reduction
system to operate properly, the diesel
exhaust fluid level must be maintained.
Generally, the diesel exhaust fluid tank
should be filled during the oil change
service interval. See General
Maintenance Information (page 58).
However, certain conditions or driving
styles, such as trailer towing or fast rates
of acceleration, will require the refilling of
the diesel exhaust fluid tank more often.
The engine control unit will monitor the
amount of fluid available in the diesel
exhaust fluid tank. Running a system check
in the message center will indicate whether
the diesel exhaust fluid level is ok or if it is
less than 1/2 full. A message will display in
the message center when the diesel
exhaust fluid level is low and needs to be
refilled. When you see this message, you
should refill your tank. See the Information
displays chapter of your Owner ’s Manual
for information display functions. For
instructions on refilling your diesel exhaust
fluid tank, see filling the diesel exhaust
fluid tank in this supplement. Diesel Exhaust Fluid warning
messages and vehicle operations WARNINGS
Diesel exhaust fluid must be refilled
when low or replaced when
contaminated or the vehicle speed
will be speed limited to 50 mph (80 km/h).
In these conditions, drive with caution and
refill diesel exhaust fluid immediately. If
the diesel exhaust fluid becomes empty
or contaminated and fluid is not replaced,
your vehicle will become limited to idle
speed only once stopped. In these
conditions, be cautious where you stop
your vehicle because you may not be able
to drive long distances and will not be able
to maintain highway speeds until diesel
exhaust fluid is refilled or replaced. Tampering or disabling your vehicle
’s
exhaust aftertreatment system will
result in severe vehicle performance
limitation including eventual speed limiting
to 5 mph. Your vehicle
’s information display will
display a series of messages regarding the
amount of diesel exhaust fluid available.
A systems check will display messages
indicating the amount of diesel exhaust
fluid available (OK or under 1⁄2 full) or will
produce a warning message that displays
the mileage (kilometers) remaining as the
fluid in the diesel exhaust fluid tank nears
empty. For more information on warning
messages, see the Information Displays
chapter of your Owner ’s Manual. As the diesel exhaust fluid level
nears empty, the diesel exhaust
fluid warning symbol will be
displayed and chimes will sound with the
messages starting at 500 miles (805 km)
remaining before diesel exhaust fluid is
depleted. The warning symbol and
messages will continue until you refill the
diesel exhaust fluid tank.

Super Duty (TFA) Fuel and RefuelingE163176

Continued driving without replacing diesel
exhaust fluid or having the selective
catalytic reduction system repaired will
result in the following actions as required
by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) and U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA):
•
Within a certain number of miles
(kilometers) to empty, speed will be
limited upon restart. Prior to this
occurring a message will appear in the
information display.
• Further vehicle operation without
replacing contaminated diesel exhaust
fluid will cause the engine to enter an
idle-only condition. This will only occur
upon vehicle refueling, vehicle idling in
park for 1 hour, or engine shutdown for
10 minutes or more and will be
indicated by a message in the
information display indicating required
actions to resume normal operation.
For either vehicle speed limiting or idle-only
condition, normal vehicle operation will
resume when you repair the contaminated
system. To service a contaminated or
inoperative system, see an authorized
dealer.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid guidelines and
information
• Use only diesel exhaust fluid that
carries the trademark: American
Petroleum Institute (API) certified DEF
or ISO 22241.
• Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the
diesel fuel tank.
• Do not overfill the diesel exhaust fluid
tank. •
Do not re-use the diesel exhaust fluid
container once it is emptied.
• Avoid spilling diesel exhaust fluid on
painted surfaces, carpeting or plastic
components. Immediately wipe away
any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled
with a damp cloth and water. If it has
already crystallized, use warm water
and a sponge.
• Store diesel exhaust fluid out of direct
sunlight and in temperatures between
23°F (-5°C) — 68°F (20°C).
• Diesel exhaust fluid will freeze below
12°F (-11°C).
• Do not store the diesel exhaust fluid
bottle in your vehicle. If it leaks it could
cause damage to interior components
or release an ammonia odor inside your
vehicle.
• Diesel exhaust fluid is non-flammable,
non-toxic, colorless and water-soluble
liquid.
• Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid with
water or any other liquid.
• An ammonia odor may be smelled
when the cap is removed or during
refill. Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a well
ventilated area.

REFUELING
Fueling Tips WARNING
Do not use starting fluid such as
ether or gasoline in the diesel air
intake system. Such fluids can cause
immediate explosive damage to the engine
and possible personal injury. Truck stops have pumps and nozzles
designed for larger, heavy-duty trucks.
When refueling at truck stops: if the nozzle
shuts off repeatedly when refueling, wait
5–
10 seconds; then use a slower rate of
flow (don ’t depress the nozzle trigger as
far). If air is allowed to enter the fuel system
(during fuel filter change or if you run out
of fuel) the engine will purge the trapped
air as it runs. To purge the air sooner: prior
to engine start, prime the system by turning
the key to on for 30 seconds then to off.
Repeat this several times. The engine may
run rough and produce white smoke while
air is in the system. This is normal.
An engine that suddenly becomes noisy or
operates poorly after a fuel fill could be
using substandard fuel (for example, high
water content, low cetane rating or
gasoline in the fuel). You should purchase
diesel fuel from a reputable station that
sells a large amount of diesel fuel.
Use only clean, approved containers that
will prevent the entry of dirt or water
whenever you store diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel must not be stored in a
galvanized container. The fuel will dissolve
the zinc in the galvanized container. The
zinc will then remain in the fuel. If you run
the contaminated fuel through the engine,
the zinc will deposit in the fuel injectors
causing expensive-to-repair damage.
