2014 FORD SUPER DUTY weight

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.
Typical Diesel Exhaust Fluid Usage
The charts below illustrate approximate
diesel exhaust fluid usage for the given
distances traveled under various driving
conditions and when using the power take
off. Your usage may vary depending on:
driving style, trailer towing, loaded vehicle
weight, weather, idle time, PTO usage.

Super Duty (TFA) Fuel and Refueling

Noise Emissions Warranty, Prohibited
Tampering Acts and Maintenance
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation
became effective governing the noise
emission on trucks over 10,000 lbs. (4,536
kg) GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating).
The preceding statements concerning
prohibited tampering acts and
maintenance, and the noise warranty
found in the Warranty Guide, are
applicable to complete chassis cabs over
10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR.
FUEL TANK SELECTOR
SWITCH
If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel
tanks, you will have a selector control,
located to the right of the steering wheel,
which allows you to draw fuel from either
tank. Your fuel gauge and the DTE
(distance to empty) will display the
amount of fuel in the currently selected
tank.

Engine lubrication for severe service
operation
The following conditions define severe
operation for which engine operation with
SAE 5W-40 API CJ-4 is recommended. Oil
and oil filter change intervals will be
determined by the Intelligent Oil Life
Monitor™ as noted previously.
• Frequent or extended idling (over 10
minutes per hour of normal driving)
• Low-speed operation/stationary use
• If vehicle is operated in sustained
ambient temperatures below -10°F
(-23°C) or above 100°F (38°C)
• Frequent low-speed operation,
consistent heavy traffic less than 25
mph (40 km/h)
• Operating in severe dust conditions
• Operating the vehicle off road
• Towing a trailer over 1,000 miles (1,600
km)
• Sustained, high-speed driving at Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (maximum
loaded weight for vehicle operation)
• Use of fuels with sulfur content other
than ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD)
• Use of high-sulfur diesel fuel
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
Checking the Engine Coolant
The concentration and level of the engine
coolant should be checked at the intervals
listed in the scheduled maintenance
information. See Scheduled
Maintenance (page 58). Note:
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and MAX marks on the coolant
reservoirs.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below
the MIN mark, or empty, add coolant
immediately. See
Adding Engine Coolant
in this chapter.
Note: The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%, which
equates to a freeze point between -30 °F
(-34 °C) and -34 °F (-37 °C).
Note: For best results, the coolant
concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool
300-ROB75240 available from your dealer.
Ford does not recommend the use of
hydrometers or coolant test strips for
measuring coolant concentrations.
Note: Automotive fluids are not
interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant
or antifreeze or windshield washer fluid
outside of its specified function and vehicle
location.
Adding Engine Coolant WARNINGS
Do not add engine coolant when the
engine is hot. Steam and scalding
liquids released from a hot cooling
system can burn you badly. Also, you can
be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine
parts. Do not put engine coolant in the
windshield washer fluid container. If
sprayed on the windshield, engine
coolant could make it difficult to see
through the windshield.

Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule:
Normal vehicle axle maintenance: Rear
axles and power take-off units with
synthetic fluid and light-duty trucks
equipped with Ford-design axles are
lubricated for life; do not check or change
fluid unless a leak is suspected, service is
required or the assembly has been
submerged in water. During long periods
of trailer towing with outside temperatures
above 70°F (21°C) and at wide-open
throttle for long periods above 45 mph (72
km/h), change non-synthetic rear axle fluid
every 3000 miles (4800 kilometers) or
three months, whichever comes first. This
interval can be waived if the axle is filled with 75W140 synthetic gear fluid meeting
Ford specification WSL-M2C192-A, part
number F1TZ-19580-B, or equivalent. Add
friction modifier XL-3 (EST-M2C118-A) or
equivalent for complete refill of
Traction-Lok rear axles.
F-450 and F-550 axle maintenance:
Change rear axle fluid every 100000 miles
(160000 kilometers) under normal driving
conditions on all commercial applications.
When operating your vehicle at or near
maximum Gross Vehicle Weights, change
the rear axle fluid every 50000 miles
(80000 kilometers). In addition, follow
this 50000-mile (80000 kilometer)
schedule when operating your vehicle
under the special operating conditions,
where noted.
