Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 900 mi (1,500 km) of driving (this is
your engine ’s break-in period); a more
accurate measurement is obtained after
1,900 mi (3,000 km)
.
Fuel expense, frequency of fill ups or fuel
gauge readings are not accurate ways to
measure fuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record
the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer
reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer reading.
5. Calculate fuel economy by dividing miles traveled by gallons used (For
Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then
divide by kilometers traveled).
Keep a record for at least one month and
record the type of driving (city or highway).
This provides an accurate estimate of your
vehicle ’s fuel economy under current
driving conditions. Keeping records during
summer and winter will show how
temperature impacts fuel economy. In
general, your vehicle will use more fuel in
cold temperatures.
Conditions That Affect Fuel Economy
• Heavily loading your vehicle or towing
a trailer may reduce fuel economy at
any speed.
• Carrying unnecessary weight in your
vehicle may reduce fuel economy.
• Adding certain accessories to your
vehicle such as bug deflectors, rollbars
or light bars, running boards and ski
racks may reduce fuel economy. •
Using fuel blended with alcohol may
lower fuel economy.
• Fuel economy may decrease with lower
temperatures.
• You will get better fuel economy when
driving on flat terrain than when driving
on hilly terrain.
• Transmissions give their best fuel
economy when operated in the top
cruise gear and with steady pressure
on the accelerator pedal.
• Close the windows for high-speed
driving.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
- 6.8L WARNINGS
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle
in dry grass or other dry ground cover.
The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system,
which can start a fire. Exhaust leaks may result in entry of
harmful and potentially lethal fumes
into the passenger compartment. If
you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your dealer inspect your
vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you
smell exhaust fumes. Your vehicle is equipped with various
emission control components and a
catalytic converter that will enable your
vehicle to comply with applicable exhaust
emission standards. To make sure that the
catalytic converter and other emission
control components continue to work
properly:
•
Use only the specified fuel listed.
• Avoid running out of fuel.
103
F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing Fuel and Refueling

•
Do not turn off the ignition while your
vehicle is moving, especially at high
speeds.
• Have the items listed in scheduled
maintenance information performed
according to the specified schedule.
The scheduled maintenance items listed
in scheduled maintenance information are
essential to the life and performance of
your vehicle and to its emissions system.
If you use parts other than Ford, Motorcraft
or Ford-authorized parts for maintenance
replacements, or for service of
components affecting emission control,
such non-Ford parts should be the
equivalent to genuine Ford Motor Company
parts in performance and durability.
Illumination of the service engine soon
indicator, charging system warning light or
the temperature warning light, fluid leaks,
strange odors, smoke or loss of engine
power could indicate that the emission
control system is not working properly.
An improperly operating or damaged
exhaust system may allow exhaust to
enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or
improperly operating exhaust system
inspected and repaired immediately.
Do not make any unauthorized changes to
your vehicle or engine. By law, vehicle
owners and anyone who manufactures,
repairs, services, sells, leases, trades
vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles
are not permitted to intentionally remove
an emission control device or prevent it
from working. Information about your
vehicle ’s emission system is on the Vehicle
Emission Control Information Decal
located on or near the engine. This decal
also lists engine displacement
Please consult your warranty information
for complete details. On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)
Your vehicle has a computer known as the
on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) that
monitors the engine
’s emission control
system. The system protects the
environment by making sure that your
vehicle continues to meet government
emission standards. The OBD-II system
also assists a service technician in properly
servicing your vehicle. When the service engine soon
indicator illuminates, the OBD-II
system has detected a
malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may
cause the service engine soon indicator to
illuminate.
Examples of temporary malfunctions are:
• the vehicle has run out of fuel —the
engine may misfire or run poorly
• poor fuel quality or water in the
fuel —the engine may misfire or run
poorly
• the fuel fill inlet may not have closed
properly. See Refueling (page 100).
• driving through deep water —the
electrical system may be wet.
You can correct these temporary
malfunctions by filling the fuel tank with
good quality fuel, properly closing the fuel
fill inlet or letting the electrical system dry
out. After three driving cycles without these
or any other temporary malfunctions
present, the service engine soon indicator
should stay off the next time you start the
engine. A driving cycle consists of a cold
engine startup followed by mixed
city/highway driving. No additional vehicle
service is required.

Operator Commanded Regeneration
Precautions and Safe Exhaust Position
WARNING
Failure to comply with the following
instructions for Operator
Commanded Regeneration may
result in fire, serious injury, death or
property damage. Before you start operator commanded
regeneration, do the following:
•
Place your vehicle in Park (P) with the
parking brake set on stable, level
ground.
• You must park your vehicle outside of
any structure.
• Your vehicle must be 10– 15 feet (3–5
meters) away from any obstructions
and must be away from materials that
can easily combust or melt (for
example, paper, leaves, petroleum
products, fuels, plastics and other dry
organic material). •
Make sure there is a minimum of 1/8
tank of fuel.
• Make sure all fluids are at proper levels.
How to Start Operator Commanded
Regeneration WARNING
Stay clear of exhaust tip during
regeneration. You or others can be
burned.
Note:
You cannot use the Operator
Commanded Regeneration until the diesel
particulate filter load percentage has
reached 100% (Full). The diesel particulate
filter load percentage fluctuates up and
down when driving your vehicle due to active
and passive regenerations.
Note: During the use of Operator
Commanded Regeneration, you may
observe a light amount of white smoke. This
is normal. You cannot use the Operator
Commanded Regeneration if the
service engine soon light is
illuminated.

Service now
Once Operator Commanded Regeneration
starts, the engine ’s rpm raises to
approximately 2000 rpm and the cooling
fan speed increases; you will hear a change
in audible sound due to the fan and engine
speed increase.
It is not necessary to open the hood on the
engine compartment. Once Operator
Commanded Regeneration is complete,
the engine rpm and fan returns to normal
idling. The exhaust system remains very
hot for several minutes even after
regeneration is complete. Do not reposition
the vehicle over materials that could burn
until the exhaust system has had sufficient
time to cool. Depending on the amount of
soot collected by the diesel particulate
filter, ambient temperature, and altitude,
Operator Commanded Regeneration lasts
approximately 30 minutes. Operator Commanded Regeneration
with Automatic Regeneration Control
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle is operated with significant
stationary operation, low speed drive
cycles less than 25 mph (40 km/h), short
drive cycles, drive time less than 15 minutes
or the vehicle does not fully warm up,
passive and active regeneration may not
sufficiently clean the diesel particulate
filter system. You can switch off automatic
regeneration until better driving conditions
are available, for example steady high
driving. You can then switch automatic
regeneration back on to clean the diesel
particulate filter.

How to Interrupt or Cancel Operator
Commanded Regeneration
If you need to cancel the Operator
Commanded Regeneration, pressing the
brake, accelerator, or shutting off the
vehicle stops the procedure. Depending on
the amount of time you allowed the
Operator Commanded Regeneration to
operate, soot may not have had sufficient
time to be eliminated, but the exhaust
system and exhaust gas may still be hot.
If you shut your vehicle off during Operator
Commanded Regeneration, you will notice
turbo flutter. This is a normal consequence
caused by shutting off a diesel engine
during boosted operation and is considered
normal. Filter Service and Maintenance
Over time, a slight amount of ash builds
up in the diesel particulate filter, which is
not removed during the regeneration
process. The filter may need to be removed
for ash cleaning at approximately 120,000
miles (193,000 km) or greater (actual
mileage can vary greatly depending upon
engine/vehicle operating conditions) and
replaced with a new or remanufactured
(ash cleaned) part. The filter may need to
be replaced at approximately 250,000
miles (400,000 km) depending upon
vehicle operating conditions.
In both cases, the engine control
system illuminates a service light
to inform you that your vehicle
requires service.
If there are any issues with the diesel
particulate filter system, the engine control
system illuminates a service light to inform
you that your vehicle requires service.

Maintenance WARNING
The normal operating temperature
of the exhaust system is very high.
Never work around or attempt to
repair any part of the exhaust system until
it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel oxidation
catalytic converter and/or the diesel
particulate filter (DPF). The diesel
oxidation catalytic converter and/or the
DPF heats up to a high temperature after
only a short period of engine operation and
can stay hot even after the engine is turned
off. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in personal injury. Aftermarket devices or modifications to
the exhaust system can reduce the
effectiveness of the exhaust system as
well as cause damage to the exhaust
system or engine. This may also degrade
vehicle performance and could lead to
engine damage that may not be covered
by the vehicle Warranty. See the Warranty
Guide for more information. Emission Control System(s) Laws WARNING
Do not remove or alter the original
equipment floor covering or
insulation between it and the metal
floor of the vehicle. The floor covering and
insulation protect occupants of the vehicle
from the engine and exhaust system heat
and noise. On vehicles with no original
equipment floor covering insulation, do not
carry passengers in a manner that permits
prolonged skin contact with the metal
floor. Provide adequate insulation. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in
fire or personal injury. In the U.S. federal law and certain state
laws prohibit removing or rendering
inoperative emission control system(s).
Similar federal or provincial laws may
apply in Canada. Ford recommends
against any vehicle modification without
determining applicable law.
Tampering with emissions
control systems (including
related sensors and the Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection system) can
result in reduced engine power and the
illumination of the service engine soon
light.
Tampering with a Noise Control
System
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.

feature on or off.
• Press the accelerator to the floor.
• Allows transmission to select an
appropriate gear.
Tow/Haul Mode To activate tow/haul, press the
button on the gearshift lever
once. The TOW HAUL indicator
light illuminates in the instrument cluster.
The tow/haul feature:
• Delays upshifts to reduce the frequency
of transmission shifting.
• Provides engine braking in all forward
gears, which slows your vehicle and
assists you in controlling your vehicle
when descending a grade.
• Depending on driving conditions and
load conditions, may downshift the
transmission, slow your vehicle and
control your vehicle speed when
descending a hill, without pressing the
accelerator pedal. The amount of
downshift braking provided will vary
based upon the amount you press the
brake pedal.
The tow/haul feature improves
transmission operation when towing a
trailer or a heavy load. All transmission
gear ranges are available when using
tow/haul.
To deactivate the tow/haul feature and
return to normal driving mode, press the
button on the gearshift lever twice. The
TOW HAUL light deactivates. Tow/haul
also deactivates when you power down
your vehicle. WARNING
Do not use the tow/haul feature
when driving in icy or slippery
conditions as the increased engine
braking can cause the rear wheels to slide
and your vehicle to swing around with the
possible loss of vehicle control. Understanding your SelectShift
Automatic
™ transmission
Your vehicle is equipped with a SelectShift
Automatic transmission gearshift lever.
SelectShift Automatic transmission gives
you the ability to change gears up or down
(without a clutch) as desired. Use the buttons on the shifter to lock or
unlock gears and manually select gears.

9. Start your vehicle.
Perform Steps 4 through 8 in reverse order,
making sure to engage the hinge pivots
between the upper and lower halves of the
shroud. Keep slight pressure in the forward
direction as you rotate the halves together.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud
or Snow
Note:
Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission may occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires may occur, or the
engine may overheat.
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, you
may rock it out by shifting between forward
and reverse gears, stopping between shifts
in a steady pattern. Press lightly on the
accelerator in each gear.
POWER TAKE-OFF
Auxiliary equipment called power take-off,
or PTO, is often added to the engine or
transmission to operate utility equipment.
Examples include a wheel-lift for tow
trucks, cranes, tools for construction or tire
service and pumping fluids. PTO
applications draw auxiliary horsepower
from the powertrain, often while the vehicle is stationary or mobile. In the
stationary condition, there is limited
cooling air flow through the radiator and
around the vehicle that normally occurs
when a vehicle is moving. The aftermarket
PTO system installer, having the most
knowledge of the final application, is
responsible for determining whether
additional chassis heat protection or
powertrain cooling is required and alerting
the user to the safe and proper operation.
Your vehicle is approved for use as a
Stationary Mode, SplitShaft Mode or
Mobile Mode power source within the limits
and operating guidelines detailed in the
Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book,
found at
www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas.com and
through the Ford Truck Body Builders
Advisory Service. The transmission power
source modes are engine specific.
