DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST BRAKING
The 6.7L Power Stroke®
Turbo Diesel incorporates a driver-activated engine-exhaust brake. It
restricts the turbocharger's exhaust flow to generate back pressure and
slow the vehicle, providing greater control while traveling downhill,
regardless of vehicle load or road grade. Also, because the engine brake
helps minimize having to apply pedal pressure, brake fade and lining
wear are reduced, lowering the cost of maintenance. Three settings are
available: On, Off and Auto. The Auto setting modulates engine braking
as needed to help maintain the speed you want based on accelerator and
brake pedal use.
OPERATOR-COMMANDED REGENERATION WITH ACTIVE INHIBIT (DIESEL)
Some operating conditions, such as
long idling, don't generate enough engine heat for the diesel to
automatically burn off soot in the diesel particulate filter. That's
where available Operator-Commanded Regeneration with Active Inhibit
(diesel only) comes in. When the warning light comes on, pushing the
activation button raises the exhaust temperature to burn off the soot,
after which the exhaust temperature reverts to normal. The active
inhibit feature allows delay of regeneration when the vehicle is sitting
over combustible materials, such as dry leaves or grass. Once in a safe
place, the driver can manually start the regeneration process.
Recommended for commercial applications.
HIGH-STRENGTH, MILITARY-GRADE, ALUMINUM-ALLOY BODY
The Super Duty®
has the only high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body in its
class.* Aluminum alloy is substantially lighter than the previous steel
body, yet it's remarkably strong. It's also more dent-and-ding resistant
and not subject to rust.
