CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER - 6.7L DIESEL
Air Filter Restriction Gauge
WARNING: To reduce the risk ofvehicle damage and personal burninjuries, do not start your engine with theair cleaner removed and do not removeit while the engine is running.
Note:Operating your vehicle in heavysnowfall or extreme rain conditions mayallow excessive amounts of snow or waterinto the air intake system. This could plugor soak the air filter and cause the engine tolose power or shut down.
The restriction gauge, on the upper housingof the air filter assembly, measures thevacuum inside the air filter. The more theair filter is dirty or clogged, the higher thevacuum reading.
Check the air filter restriction gaugewhenever you open the hood to performgeneral engine maintenance or at leastevery 7,500 mi (12,000 km). If you operateyour vehicle in extremely dusty conditions,check and reset the gauge at least every500 mi (800 km), or two weeks, whichevercomes first. Change the air filter when therestriction gauge reads near the changefilter line and the gauge is yellow. If youallow the restriction gauge to reachmaximum restriction, you can affect yourengine performance and fuel economy.
Note:Do not blow out the air filter elementwith compressed air since the compressedair could damage the filter paper.
Note:Do not rely on filter appearancealone. A filter which appears to be dirty mayhave several thousand miles (kilometers)of life remaining.
After installation of the new filter element,reset the gauge by pressing the resetbutton on top of the gauge.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
INSPECTION
WARNING: When performingmaintenance to any turbocharged enginewith engine air inlet piping disconnected,keep loose clothing, jewelry and long hairaway from the engine air inlet piping. Aturbocharger compressor air inletprotective shield should be installed overthe turbocharger air inlet to reduce therisk of personal injury or death.
Perform a complete inspection of the airinduction system annually.
In areas where road salt is used,disassemble the joints of each aluminumcomponent and inspect for salt build-upand presence of chlorine that can causealuminum particles to flake off and enterthe engine combustion chambers. Ifevidence of corrosion is found (usually atthe pipe connections), use a wire brush toclean the inside of the pipes and inside therubber hoses.
If pitting is evident at the joint ends of theintake pipes, use Motorcraft SiliconeGasket and Sealant TA-30 to seal thejoints. Make sure no excess material, whichcan pull into the engine, is on the inside ofthe pipes. If the service condition of thepipes, hoses or clamps is questionable,replace the defective part(s).
Make sure to clean all dust and debris outof the pipes and couplings with a clean,damp rag before reassembly.
Chassis-mounted Charge AirCooler
Visually inspect the core assembly fordebris and clogging of external fins withthe engine off.
Before engine operation, remove any debrisblocking the core.
•Turbocharger-to-charge air cooler.
•Charge air cooler-to-intake manifoldpipe.
•Mounting bracket.
•Chassis-mounted charge air coolercore.
Inspect air intake piping:
•Check for accumulation of saltdeposits (where applicable). If present,disassemble and clean the completeair intake piping system. If pitting isevident on the intake piping, useMotorcraft Silicone Gasket and SealantTA-30 to seal joints against leakage.
•Check for loose hoses and clamps.
•Check for ruptured or collapsed hoses.
•Check air cleaner housing for cracks.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
INSPECTION
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with acatalytic converter or muffler, do not blendwaste oil with diesel fuel. Operate only onultra-low sulfur (less than 15 parts permillion sulfur) diesel fuel with a cetanevalue of 45 or higher.
If your diesel engine is equipped with acatalytic converter, it is important to reviewthe maintenance schedule to make sureproper functioning of the catalyticconverter. Also, take precautions not todamage the catalytic converter whenservicing your engine or storing yourvehicle.

•Maintaining proper steering gear andpower steering pump lubricant levels.
•Checking steering column joint boltsand steering linkage, particularly forbody-to-chassis clearance.
Steering Column Joint Bolts
As a good maintenance practice, checksteering column joint bolt tightness every60,000 mi (96,000 km) or annually,whichever occurs first. Do not overtightenthe bolts.
Hydraulic System
Whenever draining and refilling the powersteering's hydraulic system for any reason,bleed air from the system before returningthe vehicle to service. Failure to bleed thehydraulic system properly can result indegradation of power system performance.
Consult an authorized dealer who is awareof the proper procedures for filling andbleeding the system.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM
INSPECTION (IF EQUIPPED)
Note:Do not adjust air suspension heightto any setting other than the specifiedsetting. Altering the height setting changesthe driveline angle and may result inunwarrantable component damage, suchas transmission component damage.
Verify drive axle air suspension height andheight control valve performance at engineoil change intervals.
Periodically check:
•Condition of spring leaves for evidenceof fatigue, bending or breakage.
•Condition of suspension mountingbrackets and bushings.
•Torque rod mounting fasteners fortightness.
•For proper suspension alignment.Maintain proper alignment at all times.
•U-bolts. After the chassis has beenoperating under load for 1,000 mi(1,600 km) or six months (whichevercomes first), the U-bolt nuts must bere-torqued. Re-torque the U-bolt nutsevery 37,000 mi (60,000 km)thereafter. Clean and lubricate theU-bolt and nut threads and seats tomake sure a like new condition whenre-torqueing. See Spring U-BoltCheck (page 261).
FRAME AND TOW HOOK
INSPECTION
Your vehicle's chassis is manufacturedwith frame rails of either HSLA steel orheat-treated steel. Handle each in aspecific manner to make sure maximumservice life. Consult the service manual oran authorized dealer before attemptingframe repair or modification.
It is important, particularly on vehicles thatuse tow hooks frequently, to inspect thefront and rear tow hooks for damage or aloose mounting.
REAR AXLE FLUID CHECK
Your rear axle may have an optionalsynthetic lubricant that allows the use ofextended service intervals. A tag on thefiller plug identifies the use of the syntheticlubricant.
Only use a lubricant that meetsmanufacturer specifications. Use of anon-approved rear axle lubricant maycause internal axle component damage.See Rear Axle Fluid Capacity andSpecification (page 311).
Checking the Fluid Level
