5. Release the three clamps that secure
the cover to the air filter housing. Push
the air filter cover toward the center of
your vehicle, and up slightly, to release
it.
6. Remove the air filter element
from the air filter housing.
7. Install a new air filter element.
8. Replace the air filter housing
cover and secure the clamps. Be
careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the air filter
housing and cover. Make sure to
align the tabs on the edge into the
slots properly.
9. Slip the air tube onto the air
filter housing and tighten the air
tube clamp bolt snugly. Do not
overtighten the clamp.
10. Connect the mass air flow
sensor electrical connector to the
outlet tube. Make sure the locking
tab on the connector is in the
locked position (connector shown
from below for clarity).

Irregular Wear:If irregular wear is present, check the axle alignment,
tire pressure, wheel balancing, shock and suspension component
condition, and wheel bearing end play.
This condition not only shortens tire life, but also adversely affects the
handling of your vehicle, which is dangerous.
Rotating tires from one wheel position to another is an often-used way to
even out many types of irregular wear or to avoid it altogether. Some of
the more effective tire rotation programs are:
•You can rotate steer tires that have developed some type of irregular
wear pattern to drive axles if using rib tires on all wheel positions.
Applying steer tires to a drive position often cleans them. You can
move them back to the steer axles or run out to re-tread stage on the
rear axle.
•Another rotation possibility for fleets with rib tires in all wheel
positions is to break in the new steer tires in the drive axle positions,
then move them to steer axles. This wears away tread rubber
relatively quickly in the early life of a tire when it is most likely to
develop an unusual wear pattern.
•You can place drive axle tires on the other end of the same axle to
reverse the direction of rotation. This is often helpful if a heel and
toe or alternate lug wear pattern has developed.
You can help minimize irregular wear by:
•Using the right inflation pressure for the load being carried.
•Maintaining proper front wheel alignment, especially toe-in, to
specifications.
•Maintaining proper tire and wheel balance.
•Maintaining shock absorbers and suspension components.
Use of Tire Chains
See the chain manufacturer’s recommendation for correct tire chain
usage, installation and removal.
WHEELS
General Information
Note:Remember to replace the wheel air valves when replacing the road
tires at the end of their useful lives.
Inspect, lubricate and adjust wheel bearings at regular intervals. This is
especially important if operating in deep sand, mud or water. See the
Capacities and Specificationschapter.
Mount wheel balance weights on the dome-side of the wheel only. Failure
to do so may result in loss of wheel weight or damage to brakes or
wheels.

•Do not attempt to service or repair the system. See your authorized
dealer.
For your safety, some SYNC functions are speed-dependent. Their use is
limited to when your vehicle is traveling at speeds under 3 mph
(5 km/h).
Make sure that you review your device’s manual before using it with
SYNC.
Privacy Information
When a cellular phone is connected to SYNC, the system creates a
profile within your vehicle that is linked to that cellular phone. This
profile is created in order to offer you more cellular features and to
operate more efficiently. Among other things, this profile may contain
data about your cellular phone book, text messages (read and unread),
and call history, including history of calls when your cell phone was not
connected to the system. In addition, if you connect a media device, the
system creates and retains an index of supported media content. The
system also records a short development log of approximately
10 minutes of all recent system activity. The log profile and other system
data may be used to improve the system and help diagnose any problems
that may occur.
The cellular profile, media device index, and development log remain in
the vehicle unless you delete them and are generally accessible only in
the vehicle when the cellular phone or media player is connected. If you
no longer plan to use the system or the vehicle, we recommend you
perform a Master Reset to erase all stored information.
System data cannot be accessed without special equipment and access to
the vehicle’s SYNC module. Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada do
not access the system data for any purpose other than as described
absent consent, a court order, or where required by law enforcement,
other government authorities, or other third parties acting with lawful
authority. Other parties may seek to access the information
independently of Ford Motor Company and Ford of Canada. For further
privacy information, see the sections on 911 Assist, Vehicle Health
Report, and Traffic, Directions and Information.
USING VOICE RECOGNITION
This system helps you control many features using voice commands. This
allows you to keep your hands on the wheel and focus on what is in
front of you.

Every Oil Change
ClutchLubricate the clutch release cross shaft and all
linkages.
Check the clutch fluid level.
Fuel SystemDrain the accumulated water or sediment from
the fuel tank(s).
Steering SystemLubricate the steering shaft(s), U-joints and
splines if equipped with grease fittings.
Lubricate the front axle spindle pins.
Lubricate the steering linkage when equipped
with grease fittings.
Lubricate the power steering gear output shaft.
*Make coolant protection checks just before the onset of freezing
weather, where applicable. If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance,
drain the system, flush and refill the system with the prescribed solution
of cooling system fluid and distilled water. Use only permanent type
coolant that meets specifications as listed in your engine operator’s
manual. See the engine manufacturer’s operating guide for supplemental
corrosion inhibitor specifications.
Periodic Component and System Checks
The following are vehicle checks that should be made periodically either
by the owner or a qualified technician. Bring any deficiencies to the
attention of an authorized dealer or another qualified service outlet as
soon as possible to obtain advice about the need for service or
replacement.
Frequency Recommended Action
At every engine start up. Check ABS lamp operation.
After first 500 and 1000 miles (800
and 1600 km), then every 500 and
1000 mile (800 and 1600 km)
interval after tire removal or
replacement.Tighten the wheel mounting nuts
to the specified torque. See
Technical specificationsin the
Wheels and Tireschapter.
At least twice annually. Clean body and door drain holes.
As required. Clean windshield wiper blades.

Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine cannot use diesel fuel blended
with waste oil if equipped with a catalytic converter-muffler. Waste lube
oil blending in fuel plugs the catalytic converter-muffler, resulting in a
significant loss of engine power.
Noise Emissions Warranty, Prohibited Tampering Acts and
Maintenance
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulations became effective governing the
noise emissions on trucks over 10000 pounds (4536 kilograms) GVWR.
The following statements concerning prohibited tampering acts and
maintenance and the noise warranty are found in the warranty
information, and are applicable to completed trucks.
Tampering with Noise Control System Prohibited
Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The
removal or rendering inoperative, by any person other than for purposes
of maintenance, repair or replacement, of any device or element of
design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control
prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use,
or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has
been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the following
acts listed:
Vehicle System Acts
Acoustical shielding Removal of noise shields, hood blanket, tunnel
liner or acoustical absorptive material.
Engine Removal or rendering inoperative the engine
speed governor to allow engine speed to exceed
manufacturer specifications. Removal of engine
mounted noise shield or oil pan enclosure.
Engine air induction Removal of the air duct, silencer, air cleaner,
and/or air cleaner element and baffle in air
cleaner; re-indexing of air cleaner.
