Power Stroke Diesel Engine; Introduction - Ford Diesel 2012 Supplement Manual

Introduction

POWER STROKE DIESEL ENGINE

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
Driving chapter. It is important to read and understand this
material in order to maintain the best service life for your engine.
This guide 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 the Owner's Guide 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.
Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/transmission
and/or exhaust system damage; refer to the Warranty Guide for
more information. 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 cannot be erased and will stay in the system's
memory even if the modification is removed. The information can
be retrieved by Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, Ford of
Mexico and service and repair facilities when servicing your
vehicle. This information may be used to determine if repairs will
be covered by warranty.
Ford may discontinue models or change specifications without any notice
and without incurring obligations.
Important notice
Ford vehicles are suitable for producing ambulances only if equipped
with the Ford ambulance preparation package. In addition, Ford urges
ambulance manufacturers to follow the recommendation of the Ford
Incomplete Vehicle Manual, Ford Truck Body Builder's Layout Book
(and pertinent supplements) and the Qualified Vehicle Modifiers
Guidelines. Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford ambulance
preparation package to produce an ambulance voids the Ford warranty
and could result in elevated underbody temperatures, fuel
overpressurization and the risk of fuel expulsion and fires. To determine
whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford ambulance preparation
