POWER STROKE DIESEL ENGINE
Note:
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, and service and
repair facilities when servicing your vehicle. This information may be
used to determine if repairs will be covered by warranty.
Note:
Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/transmission
and/or exhaust system damage; refer to your warranty information for
more information.
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
Starting and Stopping the Engine
chapter.
It is important to read
and understand this material in order to maintain the best
service life for your engine.
This supplement 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 your
Owner’s Manual
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.
Ford may discontinue models or change specifications without any notice
and without incurring obligations.
