X INTRODUCTION Information in this manual is furnished pursuant to United States and Canadian safety regulations or, in some cases where the information is not required by regulation, is furnished for the convenience of intermediate or final stage vehicle manufacturers. Incomplete vehicles manufactured for sale or importation into the U.S., are specially equipped for the United States. The descriptions and statements contained in the manual relate only to motor vehicle safety standards issued under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 as amended. An incomplete vehicle manufactured for sale or importation into Canada is specially equipped for Canada. This vehicle conforms to the applicable Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) on the date of manufacture printed on the cover of this manual, and as identified in a CMVSS Table on page 58. Requirements unique to vehicles for use in Canada are identified in the Statements of Conformity and the Canadian Vehicles section of the manual. The Emission Certification Information section of this manual contains information regarding conformity to exhaust emission regulations of the United States, Canada, and the State of California and fuel economy regulations of the United States. This manual should not be relied upon with respect to compliance with any regulation of the Federal Highway Administration or regulations issued pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) or any other Federal, state, or local regulations governing the performance or construction of motor vehicles (except for those requirements shown under the heading “Warranty and Maintenance,” page 60, “Emission Control Information Label,” page 61 and “Unleaded Gasoline Label,” page 60). IMPORTANT: UNITED STATES VEHICLES Ford Motor Company has endeavored, whenever possible, to state the specific conditions under which an incomplete vehicle may be completed to conform with each applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. These specific statements are intended to aid subsequent stage manufacturers in avoiding instances of inadvertent noncompliance to particular standards. Note that the final responsibility for the compliance of the completed vehicle rests with the final stage manufacturer who is required by law to certify, as prescribed by Section 567.5 of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, that the completed vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. IMPORTANT: UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN VEHICLES Alterations to a chassis cab or an incomplete vehicle by someone other than Ford Motor Company, or damage in transit, may affect compliance statements that are furnished in this manual, or representations that are printed on the label that may be affixed to a chassis cab vehicle. 1 INTRODUCTION UNITED STATES VEHICLES (Vehicles to be completed for sale or use in the United States) GENERAL INFORMATION Information in this section is provided pursuant to Part 568 of Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations. “Vehicles Manufactured in Two or More Stages”. Part 568 specifies that final stage manufacturers must complete vehicles in compliance with all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. • The specific Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to which the Chassis Cab will conform when completed as specified in this manual. • The date of manufacture (month/year) of the Chassis Cab by Ford Motor Company Each Chassis Cab (see definition on page 7) manufactured by Ford has a label affixed to the driver-door lock pillar that identifies the following: • The specific Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards to which the Chassis Cab conforms, as of the date of manufacture. DIRECTIONS STATEMENTS OF CONFORMITY The Statements of Conformity section, which begin on page 9 of this manual, lists the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect on the date of manufacture of this incomplete vehicle that are applicable to the type(s) of completed vehicles into which this incomplete vehicle may be manufactured. This date is shown on the label affixed to the cover of this manual. These statements, in most cases, apply to specific types of incomplete or completed vehicles and identify GVWR and UVW weight ranges. IMPORTANT: To rely on the compliance representations in this manual, the incomplete vehicles must be completed as one of the completed vehicle types designated on the label affixed to the cover of this manual, and must not exceed the specified GVWR, GAWRs or the Unloaded Vehicle Weight limits when specified in this manual. The incomplete vehicle type is identified by the 5th, 6th & 7th digits of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN); see page 4. The completed vehicle types to which this incomplete vehicle may appropriately be completed is printed on the label, under the heading “May Be Completed As,” that is affixed to the cover of this document. The Completed Vehicle Types charts on pages 5 and 6 identifies how various incomplete vehicles with Optional Prep Packages may be completed. DOMESTIC SPECIAL ORDER (DSO) VEHICLES DSO Vehicles can be identified by a six digit number with the letters DSO below the digits in the lower right corner of the Incomplete Vehicle Label which is affixed to the driver-door lock pillar. See the sample label on page 4. The Statements of Conformity section of this manual includes compliance representations for certain DSO vehicles. These vehicles are identified in the charts on pages 5 and 6. Other DSO vehicles may require additional Statements of Conformity which will be in the Supplement Section of this manual. Each statement of conformity is identified by a safety standard number located at the left margin. Because there may be multiple statements of conformity for each safety standard, use care to select the appropriate statement. Unique CMVSS requirements will be identified at the conclusion of the representations for a particular safety standard.

Prior to utilizing the formulas below, the completed vehicle must be weighed with all the fluids at capacity (including a full tank of fuel). Obtain the front component weight (weight between both front tires and the ground), the rear weight component (weight between both rear tires and the ground), and the total vehicle weight. 1. FLL (Front Lightly Loaded weight) = Front Weight Component + 259 lb 2. RLL (Rear Lightly Loaded weight) = Rear Weight Component + 141 lb 3.

STATEMENTS OF CONFORMITY 18 105 SECOND UNIT BODY, CENTER OF GRAVITY CALCULATION SUGGESTIONS: In the case where the rear weight of the SUB and/or added equipment must be reduced and the CGv is found to be below the allowed minimum CGv1, it may be possible to bring the vehicles into compliance by moving the CG h forward. Forward movement of the CG h can be accomplished by: • Redistributing the weight of the SUB and/or added equipment. • Adding permanently attached ballast forward of the CGh. In order to reduce the rear weight, the ballast must be forward of the front axle. (Caution must be taken not to exceed the GVWR or front GAWR of the vehicle.) CGvb = CGvb1(Wb1) + CGvb2(Wb2) + ... + CGvbn(Wbn) Wb1 + Wb2 +... + Wbn and the horizontal CG location of the combined SUB and added equipment is: (Wrb1 + Wrb2 + ... + Wrbn) WB CG = Wb1 + Wb2 + ... + Wbn hb The front/rear weight break down can be found with the use of the following equation: CGhb (Wb1+Wb2 + ... +Wbn) Wrb = WB Conversely the front weight component of the SUB and added equipment is: Wfb = (Wb1+Wb2 + ... +Wbn) - Wrb The following general equations can be used to find the center of gravity of the SUB and added equipment when there are several elements making up the CG.

FIGURE E - SUPER DUTY F-SERIES WIDE FRAME FUEL FILLER PIPE INSTALLATION STATEMENTS OF CONFORMITY 54 (Continued From Page 55 - Footnotes) † ††† It may be necessary to change the orientation of the steel elbow (long end pointing outboard) in order to achieve the maximum dimension. SWR narrow bodies will not allow this orientation change and therefore will not achieve this maximum dimension. If greater maximum dimensions are desired, the fuel filler housing can be placed no further rearward than the designed frame fuel filler opening. This will entail fabricating a straight steel jumper tube with the same diameter and stop end bead dimensions found on the steel elbow provided in the kit. Only the Ford approved hoses provided in the kit can be used to accommodate any modifications. †††† Minimum dimensions have been tested to ensure proper fuel filling performance. If design constraints require a lower minimum “D” dimension, a lower dimension can be used as long as the filler systems maintains at least a 4 degree constant downward slope to the fuel tank. The addition of a fuel filler support to prevent fuel hoses from moving or sagging is necessary to ensure a continuous downward slope for both fill and vent hoses. This is essential at this lower dimension for proper fuel filling performance. Larger maximum dimensions are allowable if the hose length provided will reach the desired position. NOTE: The above options apply to the maximum “B” dimension on vehicles with an aft-ofaxle fuel tank. †† Do not extend fuel fill system outboard of Second Unit Body.

The table on page 58 is provided for this purpose. The Statements of Conformity on pages 9 through 55 of this manual, are compliance representations based on United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) requirements. However, Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (CMVSS) representations are provided at the conclusion of each safety standard section where appropriate. Because CMVSS requirements may differ from FMVSS requirements, Canadian Subsequent Stage Manufacturers should refer to the Canadian requirements for each safety standard to help determine compliance to a regulation. All vehicles powered by spark ignition engines (e.g.: gasoline or propane engines) and manufactured in Canada or for sale or use in Canada are subject to the Canadian “Regulations for the Control of Interference to Radio Reception” per InterferenceCausing Equipment Standard (ICES-002) and applicable test method according to “CAN/CSA-C108.4-M92”. Violation of these regulations is punishable by fine or imprisonment. This Ford-built incomplete vehicle (if other than a Basic (Stripped) Chassis) was designed and manufactured to be capable of meeting the regulatory requirements or such modifications thereof as may have been authorized by the Department of Communications. However, because Ford has no control over how this incomplete vehicle is completed by subsequent stage manufacturers, Ford does not represent that the completed vehicle incorporating the Ford-built components will comply with applicable requirements. CMVSS STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The following information is supplied to subsequent stage manufacturers to help them avoid increasing the RFI emissions of this vehicle in the course of completing it. The incomplete vehicle identified by the Vehicle Identification Number VIN) on the cover of this manual and to which this manual was attached, conforms in full, as manufactured by Ford Motor Company to each Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard designated by an “X” in the appropriate column of the table on page 58. The appropriate column is the column headed by the illustrated description of the incomplete vehicle type that represents this particular incomplete vehicle. The table lists all safety standards in effect on the date of manufacture of this incomplete vehicle (shown on the front cover) applicable to “Chassis Cabs” which, as defined by Canadian Regulations, includes all the incomplete vehicles described. Compliance with those standards not identified by an “X” and possibly other standards not listed are the responsibility of the manufacturer who completes the vehicle, when those standards are applicable to the final configuration of the vehicle. Note: Canadian Regulations include vehicle emission standards in the 1100 series as shown. For any completed vehicle, additional measures may be needed to adequately suppress RFI emissions. Affected components could include spark plugs, ignition wires, ignition coil, ground straps, ignition component shields, accessory drive belts, instrument voltage regulator suppressor assembly and ignition coil suppressor assembly. More specifically: • All components required to suppress RFI emissions, which are removed during service, repair or completion of the vehicle, must be reinstalled in the manner in which they were installed by Ford. • Shields on ignition coil must remain installed. • Replacement spark plugs, ignition wires, and ignition coil must be equivalent in their RFI suppression properties to original equipment. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION • Electrical grounds on all components must be retained. Refer to the Vehicle Description section of this manual on page 4, for additional information. Incomplete Vehicles produced by Ford Motor Company require, for certain applications, optional Prep Packages which are listed on the Completed Vehicle Types charts on pages 5 and 6. • Metallic components installed on the body or chassis must be grounded to the chassis. • Electrical circuits added to the vehicle must not be installed near the high voltage ignition components. • Compliance representations for CMVSS 108, Lighting and CMVSS 108.1, Headlamps, are on page 24. The following items are also required for CMVSS 108 and 108.1 compliance: Only “static conductive” accessory drive belts should be used. Fan, water pump, power steering and other belts should be of the OEM type or equivalent that will not build up a static electrical charge. • Engine compartment wiring must not be rerouted in any manner. • The DRL module circuits are not to be altered. • • DRL module is not to be repositioned. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must not be relocated from the position as installed by Ford Motor Company. • Basic (Stripped) Chassis is not to be equipped with more than two headlamps when equipped with a DRL module as provided by Ford Motor Company.

It is important, however, that the final stage manufacturer observe vehicle restrictions from vehicle safety requirements, etc., which are located elsewhere in this manual. Additional emissions certification information is contained in the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book for the model year and type of this incomplete vehicle. CAUTION: 1999 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES ARE EMISSION CERTIFIED FOR REGISTRATION IN SPECIFIC AREAS OF THE UNITED STATES. FOR EXAMPLE, VEHICLES CERTIFIED AND LABELED FOR SALE IN CALIFORNIA CAN NOT BE SOLD IN THE STATES THAT REQUIRE FEDERALLY CERTIFIED VEHICLES AND VEHICLES CERTIFIED TO FEDERAL STANDARDS CAN NOT BE SOLD IN STATES THAT REQUIRE CALIFORNIA CERTIFIED VEHICLES. IT IS THE SUBSEQUENT STAGE MANUFACTURER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE CERTIFIED FOR THE STATE/AREA IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WILL BE SOLD. EPA HAS STATED THAT UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THEY WILL NOT ENFORCE THESE REQUIREMENTS. FOR FURTHER GUIDANCE CONSULT EPA’S “POLICY ON CROSS BORDER SALES OF CALIFORNIA VEHICLES.” Emission Control Hardware Any body builder, installer or subsequent stage manufacturer must also assure that all emission control hardware furnished with incomplete vehicles is on the vehicle and is operational and that applicable instructions for incorporating such hardware into the completed vehicle’s electrical or mechanical systems are strictly followed. EXHAUST EMISSIONS AND FUEL ECONOMY High Altitude Requirements Most incomplete light truck vehicle(s) or truck(s) offered by the Ford Motor Company for 1999 model year will be in the >3855 kg [8,500 lb] classification. Generally, the medium/heavy duty engines used in these vehicles will be certified to Federal, Canadian or California exhaust and evaporative emissions requirements for medium/heavy duty engines. United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations for the 1999 model year do not contain unique emission certification requirements for light duty trucks that will be sold or delivered to customers for principal use above 1,219 m [4,000 ft.]. However, some vehicle configurations are restricted to low altitude applications for principal use below 1,219 m [4,000 ft.]. Frontal Area and Weight Restrictions: IMPORTANT: To avoid any questions of certification coverage, orders should specify whether a high altitude emission system or non-high altitude emission system is required. All 4.2L and some 5.4L heavy duty engines (engines used in vehicles exceeding 3855 kg [8,500 lb]) are certified to light duty <3855 kg [8,500 lb] protocol and will require vehicle weight and frontal area restrictions. The 6.8L HD, 7.3L Diesel HD and some 5.4L HD (49 states only) engines are not certified to light duty protocol and therefore are not limited by weight and frontal area restrictions for exhaust emissions. All 4.2L engine vehicles concerned are listed on page 62 of this manual. The 5.4L engine vehicles concerned are the E-250 SVL/RVL, 3900 kg- [8600 lb] GVWR vehicles. If your vehicle is affected, the frontal area and Unloaded Vehicle weight information will be found on the Emissions Control Information decal which is located in the engine compartment, as well as page 62 of this manual. This engine label reflects the maximum curb weight as certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (i.e., basic curb weight plus 33% option weight for a vehicle line within an engine-system combination). The curb weight of the vehicle is allowed to increase beyond the Important Vehicle Information decal maximum curb weight if the increase is due to the addition of options that have less than 33% installation rate. If it is necessary to convert a new non-high altitude vehicle for principal use at high altitude, a list of corresponding high and low altitude engine calibrations is available free of charge from your local Ford dealer. Service publications indicate how to modify vehicles to conform with appropriate high or low altitude U.S. EPA regulations. Further, to avoid any question of certification coverage, approval of any modification or use of an engine or vehicle which may render inoperative any of the emission control components must be obtained from the United States Environmental Protection Agency by the manufacturer making such modification or use prior to distribution, sale, offering for sale, introduction, or delivery for introduction of the subject vehicle into U.S. commerce. Additionally, the manufacturer making such modification or use must obtain approval from the California Air Resources Board if the new vehicle will be delivered for sale or use in the State of California. IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the body builder, installer or subsequent stage manufacturer to ensure that the maximum completed vehicle curb weight and frontal area specified by Ford are not exceeded. If these restrictions are exceeded, or if the vehicle is modified such that it will not comply with applicable emission standards throughout its useful life, the body builder, installer or subsequent stage manufacturer will be considered a manufacturer for purposes of complying with U.S. Federal, California or Canadian exhaust and evaporative emission requirements, and Federal fuel economy standards, labeling, and certain other requirements. IMPORTANT: For purposes of Government Regulation, a body builder, installer, or any subsequent manufacturer may be considered a manufacturer. 59 EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION UNLEADED GASOLINE LABEL Regulations no longer require the manufacturer to affix permanent labels reading “Unleaded Gasoline Only” or “Unleaded Fuel Only” to vehicles destined for sale in the United States or Canada. Such labels may however be required for vehicles sold into other markets. It is the responsibility of the body builder, installer or any subsequent manufacturer to properly label vehicles for the market in which they are sold. WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE A copy of the appropriate Ford Truck Owners Guide and Warranty Facts Booklet must be installed in every vehicle prior to sale to the ultimate purchaser in order to provide emission systems warranty information and maintenance schedules. It also provides, where required by EPA noise control regulations for vehicles having GVWR over 4536 kg [10,000 lb], noise emissions warranty information, instructions for maintenance, use and repair of vehicle noise emission control systems, a maintenance record format, and list of prohibited tampering acts. EXTERIOR NOISE New vehicles which have a gross vehicle weight rating in excess of 8619 kg [19,000 lb], include a partially or wholly enclosed operator’s compartment, and are manufactured for use in the United States, must comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s exterior noise emission regulations for medium and heavy trucks (40 CFR Part 205, Subpart B) which establish a noise emission limit of 80 dB (A). EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS All 1999 Federal light and heavy duty trucks and all California vehicles with gasoline engines are required to comply with evaporative emissions requirements established by the Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air Resources Board. Production fuel systems supplied on incomplete 1999 model year trucks manufactured by Ford Motor Company comply with these requirements. If the subsequent stage manufacturer adds to or modifies the fuel system in any manner, it becomes the responsibility of the modifier to assure compliance with the applicable regulations. See page 68 for EPA guidelines on upgrading fuel vapor control systems. However, the Basic (Stripped) Chassis as built by Ford is too incomplete to constitute a regulated vehicle, and Ford does not represent that it complies with those regulations. With respect to the Basic (Stripped) Chassis, it is the responsibility of the subsequent stage manufacturer of that vehicle at the time it first conforms to the regulatory definition of “vehicle” to comply with the requirements imposed upon manufacturers by these regulations. SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT The “Service Engine Soon” warning light is used to indicate malfunctions of the Electronic Engine Control System and certain emissions-related components. For all incomplete vehicles, except Basic (Stripped) Chassis (which is not equipped with an instrument panel), it is Ford installed and operational. TAMPERING WITH NOISE CONTROLS Federal law prohibits 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 such vehicle for the purpose of noise control, prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or the use of such vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. The Basic (Stripped) Chassis vehicles, has the warning light installed in the instrument cluster, which is shipped in the dunnage box. If an alternate instrument cluster is utilized, the final stage manufacturer must install an operational light in the instrument cluster. This light must glow amber and display the message “Service Engine Soon”. It should be recognized that this light is a requirement of emission certification. Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below: • Removal of fender apron absorbers, fender apron barriers, underbody noise shields or acoustical absorptive material. • Removal of or rendering inoperative the engine speed governor, so as to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer’s specifications. POWER TAKE-OFF CIRCUIT A wire located under the instrument panel labeled “Power Take-Off Circuit” is provided to minimize the inadvertent illumination of the “Service Engine Soon” while the PTO is engaged. See Figure A, page 77 of this manual for circuit location. Connect the wire to the Power Take-Off Circuit as instructed in the Ford Body Builders Book and isolate the wire labeled “Power Take-Off Circuit” from the solenoid to prevent damage to the Power Control Module (PCM). • Removal or modification of air duct, air intake choke or silencer, air cleaner or air cleaner element. • Removal of, or rendering inoperative, exhaust system components including the catalyst inlet pipe, muffler, outlet pipe, resonator or diffuser. • Removal of the fan shroud. Removal of or rendering inoperative the fan clutch. New vehicles manufactured for sale in Canada must comply with applicable provisions of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 1106, Noise. Additional noise emissions information is contained in the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book. EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION 60 OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCE (ODS) CALIFORNIA MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL LABEL The Clean Air Act of 1990, Section 611 requires any product (i.e., completed vehicle) containing or manufactured with any Class I Ozone Depleting Substance on, or after May 15,1993 must be identified with a “clearly and conspicuously attached label.” To meet California emission certification regulations, the Emission Control Information (tune-up) label must be welded, riveted or otherwise permanently attached to an area within the engine compartment or to the engine in such a way that it will be readily visible to the average person after installation of the engine in a vehicle. In selecting an acceptable location, the manufacturer shall consider the possibility of accidental damage (e.g., possibility of tools or sharp instruments coming in contact with the label). The label shall be affixed in such a manner that it cannot be removed without being destroyed or defaced, and shall not be affixed to any part which is likely to be replaced during the vehicle’s useful life. For motor vehicles rated at 3855 kg [8500 lb] GVWR or less, the label shall not be affixed to any equipment which is easily detached from the vehicle. As used in these specifications, readily visible to the average person shall mean that the label shall be readable from a distance of 460 mm [18 in] without any obstructions from vehicle or engine parts (including all manufacturer available optional equipment), except for flexible parts, (e.g., vacuum hoses, ignition wires). Alternately, information required by these specifications to be printed on the label shall be no smaller than 8 point type size provided that no vehicle or engine parts, (including all manufacturer available optional equipment), except for flexible parts that can be moved out of the way without disconnection obstruct the label. Ford Motor Company has eliminated Class I ODS from its manufacturing processes. All 1999 Ford Truck incomplete vehicles will not have Class I ODS content. Manufacturers, including subsequent stage manufacturers, are required to label their products if the product, including any component (whether manufactured by that manufacturer or not), contains a Class I ODS or if the manufacturer used a Class I ODS in the manufacturing of the product. In the case where Ford provides a label saying the incomplete vehicle contains a Class I ODS that information must be placed on the product warning label. (See EPA regulation on wording, placement, size and combining labels.) In Canada consult the appropriate Provincial or Territorial Ministry of Environment. EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION LABEL To meet United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations, the Important Vehicle Information (tune-up and fuel tank capacity) labels must be affixed in a location that is readily visible after installation and in such a manner that it cannot be removed without destroying or defacing the label. The label shall not be affixed to any equipment that is easily detached from such vehicle. Completed vehicles for retail sale in California require a machine-readable vehicle identification number (VIN) bar-code label made of paper, plastic, metal or other permanent material which shall be affixed in a readily visible location to either the door-latch post next to the driver’s seating position, the door edge that meets this door-latch post, or above the instrument panel in a location clearly visible through the lower left corner of the windshield. When emission control labels are supplied but not attached to the vehicle (i.e., tune-up label or fuel tank label), they must be permanently mounted in a readily visible location to meet the preceding requirements. In addition, whether the label is already affixed or to be affixed, no components shall be installed which visibly obscure the label in any way that fails to satisfy the visibility requirements described in the California Emission Control Label Specifications. For Canadian requirements consult Section 1100 8 (1) (d) (i), (ii), & (iii), as applicable. • All Incomplete Vehicles except Basic (Stripped) Chassis Type Vehicles will conform to this standard. • Basic (Stripped) Chassis Type Vehicles: Conformity with CARB Motor Vehicle Emission Control Label specifications for VIN label is not substantially affected by the design of this incomplete vehicle. Accordingly, Ford Motor Company makes no representation as to conformity with this requirement. To assist a subsequent stage manufacturer with conforming to this specification Ford is providing a label which will accompany this manual inside the protective plastic bag. CALIFORNIA FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY California regulations require that the vehicle fuel systems be designed to accommodate a vapor recovery fueling nozzle including unobstructed access to the fill pipe. Fuel filler pipes installed per the figures on pages 52, 53, and 54 will comply with the “Specifications For Fill Pipes and Openings of Motor Vehicle Fuel Tanks” referenced in Title 13 California Administrative Code provided no part of the aftermarket body, as installed, intrudes within a 254mm [10 in] radius cylinder which has its axis parallel to the ground at point “Z”. The cylindrical zone uses the axis described above, starts at the outer most surface of the Ford supplied fuel filler housing, and projects outward (away from the frame). The fuel pipe housing component is shown on the referenced figures and is attached to the aftermarket body via 4.76 mm [0.188 in] diameter rivets. Fuel filler pipes installed using the alternative bracket shown on pages 53 and 54, will comply with the above California vapor recovery regulations provided the aftermarket body does not interfere with the access zone as defined by the California Air Resources Board, and the areas adjacent to this opening cannot foreseeably damage the nozzle bellows or face plate of nozzles during insertion, latching, disposing or removal. For the VEC† and VIN labels, sufficient clearance shall be provided to use a non-contact bar-code Reading Wand. For the tune-up label and vacuum hose routing diagram label, the label and any adhesives used shall be designed to withstand for the vehicle’s total expected life, typical vehicle environment conditions in the area where the label is attached. Typical vehicle environmental conditions shall include, but are not limited to, exposure to engine lubricants and coolants (e.g., gasoline, motor oil, brake fluids, water, ethylene glycol), under hood temperatures, steam cleaning, and paints or paint solvents. † Vehicle Emission Control 61 EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI) Devices that emit radio frequency (RF) energy such as AM/ FM radios, mobile telecommunications systems (two-way radios, telephones) and radio controlled security systems are subject to the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Communication (FCC), including 47 CFR Parts 2 and 15. Any such system installed in a vehicle should comply with those rules and should be installed only by a qualified technician. In addition, to ensure continued compliance with the FCC’s regulations, RF devices must not be modified or changed in a manner not expressly approved by Ford Motor Company Mobile Communication Systems. RF devices particularly, if not properly installed, may adversely affect the operation of the vehicle. For example, such systems when operated may cause the engine to stumble or stall. In addition, such systems themselves may be damaged, or their operation affected by the operation of the vehicle. (Citizens Band [CB] transceivers, garage door openers, and other transmitters whose power output is 5 watts or less, ordinarily will NOT affect vehicle operation.) The ignition system on your vehicle (if other than a Basic (Stripped) Chassis) has been designed to be capable of compliance with RFI requirements established by the Canadian government. However, because Ford has no control over how an incomplete vehicle is completed by subsequent stage manufacturers, Ford does not represent that the completed vehicle incorporating the Ford-built components will comply with those requirements. Any ignition system component (i.e.: spark plugs, ignition wiring, coil suppressor assembly, etc.) that is replaced should be replaced by the same Ford Motor company part number or equivalent, to maintain RFI suppression. While there are currently no RFI regulations in the United States specifically applicable to automotive ignition systems, all Ford Light Trucks are built with ignition system components the same or equivalent to those supplied on Canadian vehicles. Ford Motor Company recommends that all ignition system service be performed at a Ford authorized service facility to help hold RFI emissions levels to a minimum. Because Ford has no control over the operation or manufacture of such systems, or their installation, Ford cannot assume responsibility for any adverse effects or damage if this equipment is used. Additional RFI information is contained on page 57 of this manual. EMISSION CERTIFICATION LIMITATIONS FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.2 L [256 C.I.D.] ENGINE TO RELY ON THE EMISSION CERTIFICATION APPROVAL RECEIVED BY FORD, NEITHER THE MAXIMUM UNLOADED VEHICLE WEIGHT NOR ITS ACCOMPANYING MAXIMUM COMPLETED VEHICLE FRONTAL AREA MAY BE EXCEEDED. IF EITHER FACTOR IS EXCEEDED, THE FINAL STAGE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OBTAINING EMISSION CERTIFICATION FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY. VEHICLE TYPE WHEELBASE MILLIMETER [INCH] MAXIMUM UNLOADED VEHICLE WEIGHT KILOGRAMS [POUNDS] COMPLETED VEHICLE FRONTAL AREA [SQUARE FEET] E-250 Cutaway 3505 [138] 2676 [5900] [53.0] maximum E-250 Basic (Stripped) Chassis 3150 [124] 2676 [5900] [59.0] maximum NOTE: The maximum unloaded vehicle weight (basic curb NOTE: The values shown are accurate as of the date of initial weight, plus the weight of options that are installed on printing. See Important Vehicle Information decal, vehicles at a rate of 33% or greater, plus the second located in the engine compartment, for specific values unit body weight) and completed vehicle frontal area applicable to your vehicle. values shown in this table are limits for purposes of emission certification. See Table J on page 17 for additional information. EMISSION CONTROL INFORMATION 62 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS INFORMATION Ford urges careful consideration of the recommendations that follow. They are based on analyses of component and vehicle tests, actual service situations, and engineering judgments. Disregard of these recommendations may affect the durability, reliability, handling and performance characteristics of a completed vehicle and may result in elevated underbody temperatures, increase the potential for fire, or may affect the safety of the occupants in the event of an accident. The completed vehicle in the “Loaded” condition must not exceed the front GAWR, rear GAWR, or the GVWR. (“Loaded” means the completed vehicle weight with the maximum fluid capacity necessary for vehicle operation, plus 150 lb for each designated seating position, and an additional allowance for any cargo weight advertised by the manufacturer). The GAWRs and GVWR are on the label affixed to the cover of this manual. Subsequent Stage Manufacturers are encouraged to contact t h e F o r d Tr u c k B o d y B u i l d e r A d v i s o r y S e r v i c e o n 1-800-635-5560 if they have any questions concerning these recommendations. These recommendations are supplemental to U.S. and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety compliance representations provided earlier in the manual. Also, additional information is provided in the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book and Ford Truck Shop Manual, which may be helpful to subsequent stage manufacturers. AIR BAG SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM Some Trucks produced by Ford Motor Company are equipped with an Air Bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). Vehicles equipped with this system will have the words “AIR BAG” and an air bag symbol on the VIN plate located on the top driver-side corner of the instrument panel. System components are shown in their vehicle locations on page 38 of this manual. 3. Remove fasteners retaining air bag module to steering wheel. Disconnect driver air bag connector and remove the bag from steering wheel. Place the bag on a flat surface with trim cover facing upward. Connect an Air Bag Simulator (Part # 105-R0012 in the Rotunda Tool catalog) to the air bag connector on the wire harness in the steering wheel. Detailed system and service information will be found in The Ford Truck Service Manual for the appropriate type and model year. Ford Motor Company urges the subsequent stage manufacturers to become familiar with this system prior to modifying vehicles that are so equipped. 4. Disconnect passenger air bag module connector and replace it with an Air Bag Simulator (Part # 105-R0012 in the Rotunda Tool catalog) to the air bag connector on the wire harness in the I/P. 5. Reconnect all negative battery cable(s). B. CAUTION: DO NOT REMOVE THE STEERING COLUMN, STEERING WHEEL AND AIR BAG MODULE AS AN ASSEMBLY FROM THE VEHICLE UNLESS (1) THE COLUMN IS LOCKED TO PREVENT ROTATION, OR (2) THE LOWER END OF STEERING SHAFT IS SECURED (e.g. by wire) IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL CANNOT BE ROTATED. 2. Wait 1 minute for backup power supply to deplete stored energy. 3. Remove Air Bag Simulator and reconnect driver air bag connector. Position driver air bag on steering wheel and secure with two fasteners (10 mm). Tighten fasteners to 2.7-3.7 Nm [24-32 in-lb]. 4. Remove Air Bag Simulator and reconnect passenger air bag connector to passenger air bag module. THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER, AIR BAGS AND ELECTRONIC SENSOR MODULE ARE BAR CODED WITH A UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBER WHICH IS MATCHED TO THE VEHICLE VIN. THE COMPLETED VEHICLE MUST CONTAIN THE SAME SEAT BELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER, AIR BAGS AND ELECTRONIC SENSOR MODULE THAT WERE INSTALLED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN THE INCOMPLETE VEHICLE. 5. Reconnect all negative battery cable(s). 6. PROVE-OUT the system. C. If electrical work is performed in the steering column area, the instrument panel or the air bag system, the system must be deactivated to avoid unwanted deployment of the air bag. To do this, follow the procedure below: A. Reactivation Procedure 1. Disconnect all negative battery cable(s). Deactivation Procedure 1. Disconnect all negative battery cable(s). 2. Wait 1 minute. This is the time required for backup power supply in diagnostic monitor to deplete its stored energy. 63 Prove-Out System Procedure Prove-out system means to turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN and visually monitor the air bag indicator. The air bag will light continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag system fault is present, the indicator will either fail to light, remain lit continuously or light in a flashing manner. The flashing manner may not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from OFF to RUN. This is the time required for the diagnostic monitor to complete the testing of the air bag system. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and an air bag system fault exists, a tone will sound in a pattern of five sets of five beeps. If this occurs, the air bag indicator will need to be serviced before further diagnosis can be done. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEM INFORMATION 6. Seating system components should be free of sharp edges to prevent damage to seat belt systems when the belts could potentially contact the seating system components. The following recommendations are intended to assist in the design of seats and seat belt systems capable of meeting the requirements of the F/CMVSS 207, 208, 209 and 210 except for front seating positions for vehicles having a GVWR of 3855 kg [8500 lb] or less and an Unloaded Vehicle Weight of 2495 kg [5500 lb] or less. These recommendations are based on testing and analyses performed by Ford Motor Company. 7. Seats should be mounted with appropriate fasteners in the mounting holes provided since these holes are located to utilize floor pan structural reinforcements. (See Figures on page 36 of this manual.) 8. If additional holes are required for any reason, their locations should be carefully selected so that the structural integrity of the floor pan will not be compromised and to prevent damage to other components located below the floor. Ford cautions subsequent stage manufacturers to note the definition of “Designated Seating Position” on page 7. If a position can reasonable be used by a 5th percentile adult female for seating and the overall seat configuration and vehicle design make it likely that the position will be used by an occupant while the vehicle is in motion, then the position must be considered to be a “Designated Seating Position” for determination of compliance to U.S. and Canadian motor vehicle safety standards. 9. Seating systems should be designed to be compatible with the seat belt systems, so as to permit proper adjustment, allow for occupant movement and provide convenient accessibility of the restraint system buckle release. 10. Seats not designated for occupancy while the vehicle is in motion, must be conspicuously labeled as such. Seat and seat belt systems may take many forms, this list of recommendations can not cover all possibilities. Strict adherence to these suggestions will not ensure that systems will comply with F/CMVSS 207, 208, 209 and 210. Responsibility for determining compliance to appropriate F/CMVSS regulations is that of the final stage manufacturer. Accordingly, Ford Motor Company makes no representation as to the appropriateness of any particular recommendation in its specific application of a particular design or act of intermediate or final stage manufacture. LAP AND SHOULDER BELT SYSTEMS 1. The front seats are equipped with a pyrotechnic buckle pretensioner. The buckle pretensioner reduces slack in the lap and shoulder safety belt by pulling the buckle downward. The buckle pretensioners and air bags operate on the same sensors and will function simultaneously. 2. Additional lap and shoulder belt assemblies, including retractors and hardware, must comply with the requirements of F/CMVSS 208 and 209. To confidently verify compliance with F/CMVSS 207, 208, 209 and 210, the testing of representative systems to applicable F/CMVSS 207, 208, 209 and 210 procedures is recommended. Questions regarding compliance with F/CMVSS regulations should be directed to your legal counsel, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or Transport Canada. 3. Additional lap and shoulder belt system anchorages must comply with the requirements of F/CMVSS 210. 4. Lap and shoulder belt systems that are attached to seat frame or base may affect compliance of the seating system with the requirements of F/CMVSS 207. SEAT SYSTEMS 1. For Incomplete Econoline Vans and Cutaways with a GVWR over 3855 kg [8500 lb] purchased with the front seat delete option, Ford strongly recommends following the practices specified in the compliance representations for F/CMVSS 208 that apply to Incomplete Econoline Vans with a GVWR of 3855 kg [8,500 lb] or less and completed units Unloaded Vehicle Weight of 2495 kg [5,500 lb] or less that are purchased without front seats. (Refer to page 33 of this manual for these compliance representations.) 5. Ford lap and shoulder belts, retractors and attaching hardware should not be altered or modified in any way. The reinstallation of these components should follow the instructions and specifications on page 35, or those in the appropriate Ford Truck Shop Manual. 6. Lap and shoulder belt assemblies should be compatible with the seat systems and anchorages so that lap belts will be properly positioned about the occupant’s pelvis to provide proper adjustment and fit. The buckle and buckle release are properly located with respect to the occupant and must comply with the requirements of F/CMVSS 208. 2. Any additional seats and seat anchorages installed by subsequent stage manufacturers must meet F/CMVSS 207 requirements and specifications. 7. Seat belt warning system activation/deactivation, where applicable, should be provided by the lap and shoulder belt assembly. 3. Do not modify or alter Ford furnished seating or occupant restraint system. When utilizing the Ford seat delete package, care must be taken to insure proper function of the seat adjuster latching mechanism, electrical wiring and seat belt buckle pretensioner. Refer to Bulletin Q-48 for wire routing. 4. If any seats or seat belts have been removed during manufacture, reinstall them in accordance with the instructions and specifications found in Figures on pages 35 and 36 for Econoline, or the applicable Ford Truck Shop Manual. THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER, AIR BAGS AND ELECTRONIC SENSOR MODULE ARE BAR CODED WITH A UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBER WHICH IS MATCHED TO THE VEHICLE VIN. THE COMPLETED VEHICLE MUST CONTAIN THE SAME SEAT BELT BUCKLE PRETENSIONER, AIR BAGS AND ELECTRONIC SENSOR MODULE THAT WERE INSTALLED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN THE INCOMPLETE VEHICLE. 5. Seating systems that include the attachment of lap belt or shoulder belt assemblies should also consider the requirements of F/CMVSS 210 as part of the seating system. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 64 OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEM OCCUPANT PROTECTION ZONE AND OVERHEAD CONSOLE console specifications that apply to Incomplete Econoline Vans with a GVWR of 3855 kg [8500 lb] or less and completed units have an Unloaded Vehicle Weight of 2495 kg [5500 lb] or less. (Refer to page 32 of this manual for these compliance representations.) For vehicles completed with an Unloaded Vehicle Weight (UVW) greater than 2495 kg [5500 lb], Ford strongly recommends following the practices in the compliance representations for F/CMVSS 208 regarding overhead FUEL SYSTEM INFORMATION The following recommendations are intended to assist in the design and completion of the fuel system capable of meeting the requirements of F/CMVSS 301. These recommendations are based on testing and analyses performed by Ford Motor Company. Since completed vehicles may take many forms, this list of recommendations can not cover all possibilities. Strict adherence to these suggestions will not ensure that the completed vehicle will comply with F/CMVSS 301. The responsibility for determining compliance to F/CMVSS 301 regulations is that of the final stage manufacturer. Accordingly, Ford Motor Company makes no representations as to the appropriateness of any particular recommendation in its specific application to a particular design or act of intermediate or final stage manufacture. To verify compliance with F/CMVSS 301, testing of representative vehicles to applicable F/CMVSS 301 procedures may be necessary. Questions regarding compliance with F/CMVSS regulations should be directed to your legal counsel, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or Transport Canada. WARNING: BEFORE OPENING THE FUEL SYSTEM ON VEHICLES WITH EFI ENGINES, RELIEVE FUEL PRESSURE BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE FORD TRUCK SHOP MANUAL FOR THE APPROPRIATE MODEL AND MODEL YEAR. WHEN WELDING NEAR FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS, ALL METALLIC COMPONENTS SHOULD BE ADEQUATELY SHIELDED AND PROTECTED FROM HEAT OR WELD SPLATTER. ALL NON-METALLIC COMPONENTS SHOULD BE REMOVED. REMOVAL OR REINSTALLATION OF ANY FORD FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT SHOULD BE PERFORMED TO THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THE FORD TRUCK SHOP MANUAL FOR THE APPROPRIATE MODEL AND MODEL YEAR. (EXCEPT FOR ECONOLINE VAN AFT-OF-AXLE TANK INSTALLATIONS, SEE THE NOTE BELOW.) A. NEW FUEL TANKS 1. The fuel tank should be designed with as few openings and connections as possible. Openings and connections generally should be located on the upper surface of the fuel tank. 2. Fuel tanks should be fitted with an evaporation control valve having the means to close if the vehicle is rotated about a longitudinal axis pursuant to F/CMVSS 301. See recommendation on page 68. 3. The tank should be of simple configuration minimizing sharp surface transitions and protrusions which may be required for attachment or function. 4. The tank should be strong enough to withstand, instantaneous internal pressure imposed in the event of crash situations. 5. Hoses connected to the tank should be sufficiently flexible to permit small movements of the tank relative to fixed mounting surfaces, without rupture or disconnection of such hoses in the event of crash situations. 6. Fuel tank and or fuel lines must not be connected “in series” (so that one tank supplies another). 7. Emission regulations may require an OBD II fuel tank pressure sensor for the evaporative system. Any new fuel tank must be tested and comply with all evaporative emission regulations. 8. Package new tank away from heat sources such as exhaust. B. NEW FUEL TANK RETENTION SYSTEMS 1. The retention system should attach the fuel tank to the frame, between the frame rails, and below the body of the vehicle with sufficient clearance for normal body to frame movement under loaded conditions. 2. A retention system should restrict fuel tank movement in all possible directions to prevent contact or rupture with rigid or sharp objects, and the disconnection of fuel system tubes and hoses under crash conditions. Retention straps should avoid sharp edges and tank supports should be designed with fuel tank compatible surfaces and edges to the fuel tank. Any alteration or modification of a vehicle’s fuel or evaporative system may affect the vehicle’s compliance with applicable federal and/or state emission laws, including on-board diagnostics (OBDII) and evaporative emissions requirements and may also effect vehicle performance (driveability, idle quality, etc.). Vehicle modifiers are responsible for ensuring that a vehicle, as modified, complies with all applicable emissions regulations and for obtaining any necessary federal or state approval or certification relating to vehicle modification or sale of add-on or auxiliary parts. ECONOLINE VAN AFT-OF-AXLE FUEL TANK A Fuel System Modification Kit is available for some Econoline products for removing the midship fuel tank and adding an aft-of-axle fuel tank. For technical assistance, and which vehicles apply, contact the Ford Truck Body Builder Advisory Service. This kit is distributed for Ford Component Sales by: United Group Inc., 13800 Laurel Dr., Lake Forest, IL 60045. Phone: (847) 816-7100 or (800) 223-7003 FAX: (847) 816-7111 3. System fasteners and attachments should be designed to retain the tank during deflections incurred in crash situations. TEMPORARY 7.5 GALLON FUEL TANK Vehicles equipped with a 7.5 gallon temporary fuel tank (for transit shipping only) will require the subsequent stage manufacturer to dispose of this tank in an appropriate manner. The permanent aft-of-axle tank requires a 10 gallon minimum initial fuel fill to dilute the Ford provided anticorrosion solution in the tank. 65 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS C. FUEL FILL SYSTEM ISOLATOR FILL NECK 1. Fill system should be sufficiently flexible to prevent possible rupture or disconnection resulting from movement of the fuel tank relative to frame during crash situations. LINOLEUM/CARPET BODY SIDE PANEL 2. Any appliance or hardware attachments to the body in the area of a fuel system component should be designed, positioned and secured so as not to impact any fuel system component during crash situations. FLOORING FUEL FILLER 3. The fuel filler opening area of the body should provide adequate sealing from the vehicle interior because holes or cracks in this area may allow fuel vapors to enter the vehicle interior. Openings should be sealed with a product which is fuel resistant. See Figure B on this page. FRAME FIGURE B - BODY MOUNTED FUEL FILLER OPENINGS 5. Fill openings should be recessed, and caps, when installed, should be inside the normal body plane. 4. The metal outer end of the fuel fill neck tube provided by Ford must be properly grounded to the chassis to dissipate any electrostatic charge that may be produced and so reduce the possibility of a spark during fueling. A fill neck support made of metal would provide a ground path if directly mounted on the chassis. If the filler neck support is made of plastic or other non-metallic material, a ground strap or wire must connect the metal end of the fuel filler neck and a metal chassis component. 6. Whenever possible, the fill system should pass under the body rather than through it. Where passing through floors and sides, the fill system should be shielded and have adequate clearance to surrounding structure. 7. Be sure that the fuel tank filler cap is the correct Ford designated part. Provide adequate hand clearance for cap installation and correct sealing of the cap to filler pipe. AVOID “SINK TRAPS” IN THE FUEL FILLER HOSE 8. The recommended horizontal and vertical location for the fuel tank filler pipe is shown in Figures on pages 52, 53, and 54. PROTECT FROM SHARP EDGE 9. When installing accessories or equipment, avoid exposure of fuel and vapor hoses to surfaces with sharp edges (see Figure A on this page), or to high temperature surfaces (near hot exhaust or coolant). Also avoid installations which result in the exposure of these lines to road debris or undercoating, except as specified in this manual. (See Figure B on page 70.) SINK TRAP TRAPPED FUEL 10. Install or route fuel tank filler hoses and filler vent hoses as follows: SINK TRAPS AVOID FUEL FILLER KINKED DUE TO IMPROPER ROUTING AVOID FILLER VENT KINKED DUE TO IMPROPER ROUTING ISOLATOR - FILL NECK a. Avoid sags below the horizontal which allow fuel puddling (i.e., avoid sink traps) see Sink Traps in Figure A. Fuel trapped in low spots can be expelled when the cap is removed, even if the tank is nearly empty. b. Avoid pinches or kinks, as they restrict fuel filling or venting. Hose length may require adjusting depending on second unit body width. See Kinked Fuel Fill System, Figure A. FRAME c. Do not place adjacent hardware such that it may cut or otherwise damage the filler neck and vent hoses and cause fuel or vapor leakage (i.e. avoid unfriendly surfaces) see Hostile Surfaces, Figure A. KINKED FUEL FILL SYSTEM d. Keep the flow of fuel continuously downward from the inlet of the fuel filler pipe all the way to the tank. AVOID JAGGED EDGE OPENING e. The filler hose and vent hose must be clear of moving suspension components so as to prevent abrasion which can result in fuel leakage. They should maintain a minimum of 1 inch clearance to body and surrounding chassis components, except where the hoses and protective sleeve material pass through the designed frame opening. FILLER VENT FUEL FILLER FRAME SPACER f. Be certain that all clamps are secure and properly located. FRAME g. The fuel filler and filler vent hoses should not contain fittings or connections other than those incorporated in the original design, or should they be interconnected with each other in any way. HOSTILE SURFACES FIGURE A - FUEL FILL SYSTEM INSTALLATION CONDITIONS TO BE AVOIDED DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS h. Ford released parts should be used. 66 D. FUEL TUBES. HOSES AND PUMPS 12. Be certain that the vent valves on top of the fuel tanks are seated and secure; do not dislodge or damage them when mounting the second unit body. If they are unseated, fuel leakage may occur. If damaged, the vapor vent system may not function, resulting in increased fuel tank pressure. 1. Do not reroute or change the attachment of fuel lines or fuel vapor hoses. Doing so may alter the vehicle’s ability to comply with F/CMVSS 301 Fuel System Integrity, and may adversely affect vehicle performance by increasing the amount of heat absorbed by the fuel system or restricting its venting. 13. If a fuel sender is removed for any reason, use a new gasket when it is reinstalled so as to prevent fuel leaks. Be certain the fuel sender is seated and secure on the top of each fuel tank. Do not step upon or place weight upon the sender during vehicle manufacture. (See Figure C on page 52.) 2. Tubes and hoses should be routed away from and not attached to members that will move or deform during crash situations. 3. Tubes and hoses must be sufficiently flexible to avoid rupture or disconnection resulting from movement of the engine relative to the frame during crash situations. 14. Fuel filters installed in the fuel supply line must be of sufficient size to be non-restrictive to fuel flow and placed so as to be protected from exposure to exhaust heat and physical damage. Ford replacement fuel filters are recommended. Filters are not to be installed in the fuel return line. 4. Tubes and hoses should be routed away from hot regions and sharp objects, and should be retained adequately to prevent movement into such regions or against such objects. 5. Do not add fuel or vapor line flow restrictors as they can cause engine fuel starvation or abnormally high fuel tank pressures. 15. Temporary shipping fuel lines are not to be reused. They should be disposed of in an appropriate manner. 16. Fuel system components which are disconnected during manufacturing, should be capped or plugged promptly to prevent possible contamination. 6. Do not install auxiliary fuel pumps. This could cause the engine to run rich, producing additional exhaust heat. 7. If the push connectors on nylon fuel lines are disconnected, they must be reconnected as shown in Figure A page 46, and the retention clip must be discarded and replaced with a new clip as specified in Figure A. E. Precautions similar to those described in this Fuel System section should be taken in the design and positioning of a fuel system for auxiliary fuel powered equipment. The auxiliary fuel powered equipment should be securely mounted so as to withstand forces during crash situations. 8. The special removal tool shown in Figure B page 46, must be used to open push connectors installed on flexible fuel lines, if the lines need to be disconnected. The tool is available from Ford Customer Service Division. Econoline Cutaway, Super Duty F-Series, and Basic (Stripped) Chassis aft-of-axle fuel tanks are equipped with an auxiliary fuel port in the fuel sender unit. The purpose is to provide a fuel supply for fuel powered accessories such as generator sets. Econoline Van vehicles may have an optional auxiliary fuel port which is located on the midship fuel tank sender unit. 9. The push connectors on flexible fuel lines, if disconnected, must be reconnected by snapping them back into position and installing the appropriate Retainer as shown in Figure B page 46. BODY SILL FUEL SYSTEM ACCESS FOR AUXILIARY FUEL POWERED EQUIPMENT Final stage manufacturers that utilize the auxiliary fuel port must install a check valve because of onboard fuel system diagnostics (OBDII). The system may affect the vehicle’s compliance with applicable federal and/or state emissions laws. Additional detailed information is available in Bulletin Q-42. To obtain a copy contact the Ford Truck Body Builder Advisory Service. PINCHED HOSE FUEL TANK All auxiliary fuel ports have a safety cap which must remain in place until a fuel consuming accessory is installed. Econoline Van vehicles equipped with the auxiliary fuel port have a braided jumper hose which provides access without removing the fuel tank. A cap removal tool is provided on the jumper line immediately behind the cap and must be removed and reversed before it can be used to remove the cap. FUEL VAPOR VENT LINES 10. Avoid pinching or kinking of any fuel vapor hose. (See figure above.) 11. Each of the fuel line and fuel vapor hose retention clips provided by Ford must be used in original factory locations to prevent misplacement or movement of the lines. A push connector F7UA-9J274-AA, available from your local Ford dealer, will attach to the auxiliary fuel port and accept a 1/4 inch hose and clamp. Refer to the Statements of Conformity for F/CMVSS-301 requirements on pages 46-55, for push connector removal and installation, and auxiliary port locations. 67 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS FUEL SYSTEM EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS The following suggestions are intended to assist in the design of gasoline fuel vapor control systems capable of meeting Federal Evaporative Emissions Standards. All Ford vehicles are equipped with evaporative emission control systems which are certified to the applicable standards. If the subsequent stage manufacturer adds to or modifies the gasoline fuel system in any manner, it becomes the responsibility of the subsequent stage manufacturer to assure compliance with the applicable standards. VSa = The EPA requires that hoses for the vapor routing be at least as impermeable to hydrocarbon vapors as that which is used by Ford. Ford uses rubber hose per standard WSL-M96D33-A4. Typical Ford vapor lines for auxiliary tanks from a vapor valve at the top of the tank, to a short length of rubber hose, to 0.5 inch l.D. steel tubing, to another short length of rubber hose, and finally to a “Y” which connects to the standard tank vapor line. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has provided evaporative emission control system design upgrade requirements for federally regulated vehicles over 3855 kg [8,500 lb] GVWR weight classes in 40 CFR-86.088-35 (g)(2). The following requirements are applicable when adding fuel tank capacity beyond the maximum specified on the label: 1) upgrade the vapor storage capacity in accordance with the formula below, and 2) notify the EPA of the change. Note that California has unique evaporative emission regulations and adherence to the EPA upgrade requirements does not satisfy California certification requirements. Subsequent stage manufacturers performing fuel system modifications to California vehicles must certify the vehicle as modified, to California evaporative emission standards. The EPA requires that additional vapor device(s) be installed in series with the existing system such that the existing storage device(s) are between the fuel tank(s) and the new storage device(s). The existing storage device(s) should be routed to the new storage device(s) such that the existing storage device(s) are no longer vented to the atmosphere. The elevation of the original storage device(s) should be equal to or lower than the new storage device(s). Ford suggests that the diameter of the hose used to connect the additional storage device be large enough so as not to restrict purge flow which cleans out the canisters (0.5-inch l.D. hose from an existing one canister system, and 0.625 inch l.D. hose from an existing two canister system in parallel). A. EPA VAPOR STORAGE UPGRADE REQUIREMENTS The additional amount of fuel tank vapor storage material required can be determined according to the following formula: [ VSa = VSi x T Volume f Max Volume i where: VSi = T Volume f = The minimum final additional vapor storage material required in grams. Additional vapor storage material can be purchased at a local Ford dealer using the Ford Service Part Number (2800ml-F75Z-9D653-A). Additional vapor storage material must have the same absorbent characteristics as that used by Ford Motor Company. ] – VSi B. EPA NOTIFICATION OF EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM UPGRADE Initial amount of vapor storage material in grams installed on the vehicle. The initial amount of vapor storage can be determined by examining the vehicle. For Super Duty F-Series, carbon canisters will be mounted in the engine compartment on the driver side. For E-Series, carbon canisters will be mounted inside the frame between the #3 and #4 crossmembers. Ford vehicles will be equipped with one or two cylindrical shaped canister(s). A written statement that the system has been upgraded should be forwarded to the EPA. The body of the letter should indicate that the provisions of 40 CFR 86.085-35(g)(2)(i)-(iv) have been complied with. A brief description of the modification may also be included. The correct mailing address for the agency is: Director of Certification Office of Mobile Source Air Pollution Control U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2565 Plymouth Rd. Ann Arbor, MI 48105 Final fuel tank capacity rating of the vehicle after the addition of the new fuel tank(s). This volume would be equal to the volume equipped with the vehicle plus the volume desired added. IMPORTANT: Upgrading the evaporative emission system does not eliminate the necessity for compliance with the applicable safety requirements of FMVSS 301. A final stage manufacturer is responsible to certify the completed vehicle with any additional fuel tank(s) or any modification to the fuel system. The complete vehicle must conform to all applicable safety regulations. Max Volume i = The Maximum fuel tank volume as specified on the VECI† label. The Super Duty F-Series label can be found in the engine compartment on the passenger side radiator support. The E-Series label can be found on the underside of the hood on the driver’s side. C. E-250 – 124” BASIC (STRIPPED) CHASSIS RELOCATION OF RESERVOIR AND BRACKET ASSEMBLY The Econoline Basic (Stripped) Chassis label can be found in the dunnage box and should be installed on the completed vehicle consistent with the guidelines on page 60. See detail on page 89. † Vehicle Emission Control Information. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 68 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 9. Interior wiring not exposed to high temperatures may be SAE approved, general purpose wire. Information in this section is supplementary to the Electrical Section of the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book, which includes detailed instructions, diagrams and system descriptions for general wiring, Electronic Engine Control (EEC) and adding electrical devices. 10. When adding auxiliary marker lamps on Super Duty F-Series Chassis Cab with dual rear wheels, tap in to the wiring connector provided on the left hand fender apron. This circuit is controlled by the headlamp switch through a relay to handle auxiliary marker lamp loads. 1. Selected Econoline and Super Duty F-Series vehicles are equipped with a number of conveniently located electrical wiring taps. These taps are fused, having locations under the instrument panel, in the engine compartment, behind the driver-seat and at the rear of the frame. Illustrations, schematics and half connectors (pigtails) for these taps will be provided in a cardboard box shipped with each vehicle. The connector, at the rear of the frame, is provided to support trailer wiring requirements or the Second Unit Body (SUB) additions. 11. Ground the second unit body to the frame in at least two locations, and if required, add an additional frame to engine ground cable to increase the ground path to the battery. 12. Splicing into circuitry relating to the electronic engine/ transmission control systems is not acceptable because of the adverse effect on the electronic system operation. 13. Batteries must be disconnected before welding to body and chassis components. Note that disconnecting the batteries will result in a memory loss on electronic engine/ transmission controlled vehicles. The vehicle will require several miles of driving in various driving modes to restore its memory and regain optimum operating conditions. 2. The Ford starting and the charging system should not be altered. 3. The completed vehicle total electrical load must not exceed the maximum output of the alternator. 4. Do not route or attach electrical wires to fuel lines. 14. Electrical connections exposed to the elements should be appropriately protected. 5. Engine compartment wiring must not be rerouted in any manner. 15. Do not ground the body to the transmission or transmission crossmember. 6. The electronic engine and transmission control modules require battery power to be supplied at all times so as to maintain the keep alive memory. Keep this in mind when installing load disconnect switches or solenoids. 16. Ignition circuit of any engine should not be altered. 17. Alternator circuit wiring must not be altered by cutting, soldering, or splicing. 18. Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) wiring taps are provided on Econoline Cutaway, Basic (Stripped) Chassis and Super Duty F-Series Chassis Cab vehicles. See the figure on page 22. 7. The 7.3L diesel engine requires two batteries wired in parallel for proper starting operation and must not be isolated. 19. Aero type headlamps are plastic and have protective coatings which can be damaged by solvents or tape. Refer to the Owner Guide for proper cleaning procedures. 8. Ford recommends that all additional under hood and underbody wiring: • be cross-linked polyethylene or equivalent high temperature insulation wire 125°C [257°F] minimum rating 20. For Super Duty F-Series (4) 14 ga. pass through circuits are located under the center of the I/P and on the LH fender apron. These circuits provide a means to interface with the engine compartment and frame wiring without drilling through the dash panel and installing a wire harness grommet to prevent water leaks. • meet SAE specifications J1128 type SXL • meet SAE J1127 type SGX for battery cables • be protected with nylon convoluted tubing • be located so as to avoid or minimize restriction of airflow through the engine compartment, underbody and fuel system • be of sufficient length to be properly routed, so as not to interfere with operating zones of such components as throttle or transmission linkage • not be routed near the exhaust system or any other source of high heat; melted insulation can result in electrical shorts and system failure • be routed away from hostile surfaces and sharp edges and be secured in its intended location • be protected by rubber grommets when it passes through body or frame openings • be protected from electrical shorts by fuses or circuit breakers • be routed 38 mm [1.5 in] away from engine 69 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS EXHAUST SYSTEM 6. WARNING – VEHICLE OPERATING TEMPERATURES SOME TRUCKS OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY MAY EXHIBIT HIGH ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND EXHAUST SYSTEM TEMPERATURES IN CERTAIN OPERATING MODES. COMPONENTS, INCLUDING EXHAUST HEAT SHIELDING SYSTEMS, HAVE BEEN INSTALLED ON SOME VEHICLES IN OUR ASSEMBLY PLANTS IN AN EFFORT TO PROVIDE PROTECTION AGAINST SUCH TEMPERATURES. AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT INSTALLERS, OR INTERMEDIATE AND FINAL STAGE MANUFACTURERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING THERMAL PROTECTION (e.g., UNDERBODY HEAT SHIELDS) FOR ANY STRUCTURE OR EQUIPMENT ADDED TO THE VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT REMOVE ANY COMPONENTS OR EXHAUST HEAT SHIELDING INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE BY FORD. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 7. 8. Do not substitute exhaust system components or add to those furnished by Ford, except as noted below. Such a substitution or addition may adversely affect engine performance or emissions system effectiveness. Do not change the position or routing of the exhaust system components. Such a change may affect the amount of heat transferred to body, chassis or powertrain components, particularly fuel system components. Specifically, do not add dual exhausts or reroute exhaust components to the left side of the vehicle. Do not remove or modify the existing shields. Ford underbody heat shields are installed on vehicles to provide heat protection for the vehicle floor and body mounting system, and must remain in place on the completed vehicle. (See Figure A on this page). Exhaust heat shields should be added by a body builder, and should extend far enough beyond the exhaust system components to protect underbody surfaces from heat radiated at any angle. Add shields over the muffler and exhaust pipe kick-up areas. Do not remove Ford furnished exhaust clamps and hangers. Verify that they are secure. An additional exhaust hanger should be installed, if appropriate, to support extended tailpipe length necessitated by body dimensions. Do not make a rigid connection of the exhaust system to the body. Do not apply body undercoating on the fuel tank, fuel fill hose and fuel fill vent hoses. The extra insulation on these components may cause excessive heat build-up and/or possible material incompatibility concerns. (See Figure B on this page) FIGURE B 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. DO NOT APPLY UNDERCOATING IN SHADED AREA Do not apply body undercoating within twelve inches of the area directly above the exhaust, on any components within twelve inches of the exhaust, or to any part of any exhaust system. Undercoating will smoke or burn if subjected to high heat. (See Figure B) Extensions to the exhaust outlet pipe should direct exhaust away from the body to minimize the possibility of fumes entering the vehicle. Extensions should also protrude beyond the vertical body surface. Install all underbody plumbing for heaters, air conditioners, and other accessories so that they are not installed against sharp surfaces or jagged edges. Protect from exhaust heat when routing. Use only stainless steel for any exhaust system modifications or additions. Exhaust system revisions should consider thermal expansion of materials and the affect on design clearances. SHIELD CONFIGURATION MAY VARY WITH VEHICLE TYPE OR ENGINE SELECTION FIGURE A - UNDERBODY MOUNTED HEAT SHIELDS FOR VANS DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 70 COOLING SYSTEM 1. Equipment such as flashing lights and sirens, spare tires, or any other accessories should not be installed in the grille area forward of the radiator or air cleaner air inlet. Doing so restricts proper air flow through the radiator and engine compartments. Econoline and Super Duty F-Series are illustrated in the figure below. 6. The radiator and fan shroud should not be used as structural members and additional components should not be attached. 2. For proper engine cooling, do not alter, change the locations of, or remove the original equipment fan, fan clutch and shroud. 3. Maintain a 50/50, OAT antifreeze only, to water ratio when adding or modifying the heater system or auxiliary heater system. A 60/40 antifreeze to water ratio may be necessary during winter months in very cold climates. For the remainder of the year, however, a 50/50 ratio should be maintained. If ethylene glycol is used for more than 50 miles or 1 hour of engine operation, a slight degradation of cooling performance may occur due to a chemical reaction. OAT coolant is preferred for top cooling performance. 7. Revisions to the Front End Accessory Drive System may affect the cooling system/component performance and are not recommended. 8. Do not alter or modify the automatic transmission water bypass system. 9. The minimum radiator grille opening (excluding all grille parts) for the Econoline Basic (Stripped) Chassis to provide optimum cooling for the engine is: • Commercial Basic (Stripped) Chassis 300 square inches. 10. Equipment, hazardous materials markers or placards must not obstruct the airflow to the radiator or the air cleaner inlet on the Basic (Stripped) Chassis. 11. The Basic (Stripped) Chassis engine compartment must be designed to eliminate any air circulation restriction that would affect the air induction or cooling systems. An engine compartment must provide adequate flow through ventilation to prevent local air temperature from exceeding recommended maximums. 4. Use worm gear drive clamps only. 5. Upper radiator hoses and heater hoses which are added or replaced should be EPDM - Kevlar composition. Lower radiator hoses should be EPDM - Rayon composition. ACCESSORIES SHOULD NOT BLOCK AIRFLOW IN SHADED AREAS KEEP THIS AREA CLEAR ECONOLINE ENGINE COOLING RADIATOR AIR CONDITONER CONDENSER SUPER DUTY F-SERIES FIGURE A - FRONTAL AREA REQUIRING UNRESTRICTED AIRFLOW 71 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM The Final Stage Manufacturer must attach a label (next to Ford’s A/C Tag on the vehicle) showing the amount of PAG Oil and R-134a Refrigerant that has been added. 1. An Auxiliary Heater A/C Connector Package can be either standard or optional on Econoline vehicles for connecting auxiliary climate control systems to the Ford system. The following items are important for the maximum efficiency of the combined systems: 5. The A/C compressor will cycle during the defrost mode. A refrigerant shutoff valve for the auxiliary system may impair compressor lubrication. • The connector tubes are under the floor directly below the driver seat. 6. R134-A charged A/C systems should use barrier type A/C hose. Barbed fittings and external clamping may not be compatible with this type of hose. Swaged, permanent fittings on this type of hose are recommended. • The heater supply tube is identified with a white paint dot and should be connected to the lowest connection port on the auxiliary heater core. • The A/C connector tubes have a 20 X 1 .5-6g metric thread for high pressure and 24 X 2.0-6g metric thread for low pressure. 7. Use only worm gear drive clamps on heater hose. • If the vehicle is equipped with the auxiliary heater-air conditioner, do not operate the front A/C system prior to the addition of an auxiliary system. The system oil could settle in the connector tubes and not provide lubrication to the compressor. See Bulletin Q-47. To obtain a copy contact the Truck Body Builder Advisory Service. 9. Auxiliary heater and air conditioning systems hose routings must consider the following: 8. NEVER ATTACH ANY COMPONENT TO THE TRANSMISSION FILLER AND DIPSTICK TUBE. • Dynamic engine roll or any system component which has an operating zone. Make sure there is adequate clearance. (e.g., transmission downshift linkage, steering column shift linkage.) • The Ford provided auxiliary blower switch requires electric relay for high speed blower operation. Additional detailed information is available in Bulletin Q-19. To obtain a copy contact the Truck Body Builder Advisory Service. • Do not route heater or A/C hoses directly over or near the exhaust system. • Do not route hoses by attaching to the engine. 2. R134-A charged A/C systems must use PAG type lubricating oil YN-12-B Ford part number F2AZ-19577-C. Always use the same refrigerant and lubricating oil as originally equipped by Ford. • Use only metallic Y and T type fittings. • Do not route hose in wheelhouse area. • No routing by sharp edges or moving component parts. There must be shield protection from any potential abrasive source. 3. Maintain a 4% suspended oil ratio in the A/C system for proper compressor lubrication. • When routing in stone kickup area, lines should be protected by shields. Minimize use of concentric protective heater hose shields. Limit length of concentric hose shields to 12 inch maximum. 4. Econoline A/C and Refrigerant Oil System are classified into the following (3) types: A/C System R-134a, lbs. PAG Oil, oz. 1. Front Only (a) 2.75 9(a) 2. Front w/Prep. Unit 2.75 13 3. Front & Aux. Unit 4.0 13 Notes: (a) Must add 1-oz Oil for each 4-oz of R-134a above Ford’s charge. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 72 FORD BODY COMPONENTS 1. Modifications to doors, roof or body side panels may have an effect on F/CMVSS 208, 210, 212, 214, 219 and 301 compliance. Refer to the Statements of Conformity section of this manual for compliance representations. 8. Fasteners added to the floor should not point at the fuel tank or should have an appropriate shield. Components with sharp edges should have an appropriate shield to eliminate the possibility of fuel tank penetrations in crash situations. 2. Running boards or entry steps should use a mounting system that will attach only to the body. The Ford body to frame isolators allow body movement which may loosen fasteners. A combined frame and body mounting system may cause frame Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) transfer through such a mounting system into the body. 9. Components added to the Econoline engine cover should allow for easy removal. Refer to the Statements of Conformity, Figure A page 38, for Occupant Protection Zone requirements for the engine cover and other affected areas. 3. Protect trimmed or modified body sheet metal from corrosion by using Butyl Sealer C9AZ-19554-B or equivalent. 10. The Econoline engine cover seal requires that carpeting and insulation should be installed as shown in the figure below. 4. Temporary mounting pads may eliminate chipping and scratches when accessories are installed. 11. Power operated windows, a partition, or roof panel systems when added to a vehicle with a GVWR of 4536 kg [10,000 lb] or less must comply with the requirements of F/CMVSS 118. Refer to the Statements of Conformity page 26. 5. Select materials which will not have a corrosive action with each other. 6. Additional fresh air vents should be located so that engine exhaust can not be inducted into the vehicle. 12. When a second unit body (SUB) or rear closure panel is attached directly to the cutaway body, difficulty may be experienced when closing doors due to air pressure build up. It is recommended that vent(s) be installed which will allow “ONE WAY” pressure release from the inside of the cab to the outside. Recommended minimum size of the venting is 36 square inches. 7. When adding holes to the floor of the vehicle, consideration must be given to all components below the floor. The use of drill stops is recommended. A pattern for a floor template, which will locate the Econoline van fuel tank, is available from the Ford Truck Body Builder Advisory Service. ENGINE COVER ENGINECOVER INSULATION SEAL (RUBBER) CARPET FLOOR PAN TYPICAL SECTION CARPETING INSTALLATION AT ENGINE COVER INSULATION [ ] DIMENSION ARE IN INCHES FIGURE A - ECONOLINE ENGINE COVER SEAL 73 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS SUSPENSION AND STEERING SYSTEM NOTICE — VEHICLE HANDLING INFORMATION 3. The steering gear, intermediate shaft, coupling shaft, linkage, column, and steering wheel should not be altered or relocated. Steering linkage travel should not be restricted. The weight of the body structure and its center of gravity location (both longitudinally and vertically), as well as the weight and positioning of the cargo load are important to the handling of the completed vehicle. Subsequent stage manufacturers should note that matching a body to a chassis in a manner appropriate for the intended use of the vehicle is the responsibility of the final stage manufacturer. Following the representations of this manual with respect to center of gravity locations and body weights for compliance with Federal or Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards is only part of the task of producing a completed vehicle that handles appropriately in service. 4. Ford front and rear GAWRs and GVWR, must not be exceeded. 5. Front or rear suspension components should not be drilled, cut, welded or relocated for any reason. 6. Welding to the frame in the steering gear area is not recommended. 7. If rear suspension spacers are used between the spring and axle seats to accommodate side to side variations, they should not exceed 0.375 inch. The spacers should not exceed the profile of the axle spring seat. Additional spacing may adversely affect driveline angles and axle system package clearances. Also, spring stress limits may be affected by excess jounce travel. The final stage manufacturer is responsible for verifying that the front wheel toe is within Ford Specifications on completed vehicles. The steering wheel clear vision (horizontal or level orientation of the steering wheel) should also be maintained when resetting wheel toe. These specifications are found in the general suspension section of the Ford Shop Manual. 1. 8. Do not use any suspension component as a welding ground. 9. When welding or cutting near suspension components, shield and protect all springs and rubber components from heat penetration and welding splatter. The front end alignment warranty policy for incomplete vehicles is based on the completed vehicle remaining within the OEM weight ratings, vehicle attitude, suspension and wheel/tire guidelines and other characteristics affecting wheel alignments. Exceeding or modifying these restrictions may jeopardize the related warranty. 10. Any add-on device mounted on the steering column, shroud, multifunction switch or gear selector lever, must not affect steering column angles, tilt mechanism (if so equipped), range of operation or steering column mounting hardware. Any such device must not interfere with steering column collapse and/or stroke travel during crash situations. 2. Modifications made by subsequent stage manufacturers, particularly those that significantly affect vehicle ride heights, may cause vehicle control problems during excessively sharp turns or other abrupt steering maneuvers, possibly leading to rollover or other accidents that could result in serious injury. WHEELS AND TIRES 1. Use only wheels with the same load capacity, rim width, rim offset, and mounting configuration as those originally installed on the vehicle. Consult an authorized Ford Dealer for correct wheel load capacity, size and usage. Wheels used must comply with F/CMVSS 120. Use of any other size or type wheel or tire other than those originally installed on the vehicle as manufactured by Ford may adversely affect load carrying capacity, handling, bearing life, ride, braking performance, speedometer/odometer accuracy, automatic transmission (4R100 or 4R70W) shift timing, and tire/wheel clearance of the body and chassis. WARNING: SOME AFTER MARKET WHEEL ASSEMBLIES MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH SOME VEHICLES AND SHOULD NOT BE USED. USE OF INCOMPATIBLE WHEEL ASSEMBLIES MAY RESULT IN WHEEL FRACTURES, SEPARATION, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. FORD RECOMMENDS THAT ONLY WHEEL ASSEMBLIES APPROVED AND RELEASED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR THE VEHICLE MODEL SHOULD BE USED. 2. Use only tires with the equivalent load carrying capacity as those originally installed on the vehicle. Use only tires of a type and size that are recommended by the vehicle manufacturer and are compatible with the wheel installed on the vehicle. Do not over/under-inflate tires, always maintain proper tire pressure. Never mix radial, bias-belted, or conventional bias type tires and avoid mixing P-metric tires with alpha numeric tires whenever possible. Consult an authorized Ford Dealer for correct tire load capacity, type, size, and inflation pressure for the vehicle. Tires used must conform to FMVSS 109 (passenger car type tires) or FMVSS 119 (non-passenger car type tires) in the United States or to the Motor Vehicle Tire Safety Regulations in Canada. WARNING: RETORQUE ALL LUG NUTS TO SPECIFICATION. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE DEALER RETORQUE ALL WHEEL LUG NUTS ON ALL VEHICLES PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO THE FINAL VEHICLE PURCHASER. DUAL REAR VEHICLES MAY BE SHIPPED WITH THE OUTER REAR WHEELS REMOVED AND, THEREFORE, THE DEALER MUST ASSURE THAT THE LUG NUTS ARE RETORQUED TO THE PROPER SPECIFICATION BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS DELIVERED TO THE FINAL VEHICLE PURCHASER. IMPROPERLY TIGHTENED LUG NUTS COULD LOOSEN AND ALLOW THE WHEEL TO COME OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 74 WHEELS AND TIRES 1. If you loosen or remove wheel lug nuts for any reason, or have in your possession a vehicle at any of the mileage intervals listed in the Wheel Lug Nut Table below, check the lug nut torque and if required, re-torque to the specifications as listed in the following table.

Do not modify or alter the convoluted frame sections in the area behind the front bumper. Modifications or alterations could have an adverse affect on vehicle performance in a crash situation. 1. Holes that would weaken the frame sidemember should not be drilled in the frame. Holes are not to be drilled in the sidemember’s top or bottom flange. 2. Holes to mount brackets, out-riggers and supports, may be drilled in the vertical frame side rail web with the following restrictions: 6. No wheelbase alterations are approved on any Super Duty F-Series vehicles. 7. A wheelbase alteration and frame extension for Econoline Cutaway Super Duty Bulletin Q-18 is available with detailed guidelines from the Ford Body Builder Advisory Service. Any deviation from the original vehicle specification will become the responsibility of the subsequent stage manufacturer or installer. This may affect transmission operation and durability. • Material between edge of hole and inside of upper or lower flange must not be less than 1.50 inch for low carbon steel (36,000 P.S.I. yield). • The minimum edge distance between any two holes up to 0.625 inch diameter must be 1.00 inch. For larger than 0.625 inch diameter holes, the minimum edge distance must be 1.5 times the diameter of the largest hole. 8. Recommend the use of OEM front tow hooks only. See Ford Towing Manual FCS-12141-99 for towing instructions. • No holes will be allowed to exceed 0.75 inch in diameter. • Avoid close vertical succession of fasteners. 9. To prevent collapse of the frame side rail flanges, when U-bolts are used for the attachment of bodies to the truck chassis, vertical spacer bars must be used between the upper and lower flanges at each U-bolt. • All attaching fasteners, including flat washers, must be of high strength steel (Grade 8). 3. When welding is performed anywhere on the vehicle, precautionary measures should be taken to prevent damage to electrical system wiring or components. Prior to welding, any parts which could be damaged by excessive temperatures should be removed or adequately shielded. Also prior to welding, disconnect both batteries and battery cables, then the ABS module, then the PCM. The welding ground clamp should be positioned as close to the affected welding area as possible. Computer processors should be removed if welding is to be done within their close proximity. Welding cables should never be allowed to lay on, near, or across any electrical wiring or electronic component during welding. After welding, when parts are cool, carefully inspect wiring and electrical components for shorts or other damage which could draw excessive currents and possibly cause an electrical system short when the battery is reconnected. 10. On unitized body vehicles, bottom sides of structural members must not be drilled. 11. The Super Duty F-Series 200.8 inch WB Chassis Cab modifications should consider the following: • The “L” reinforcement on each frame sidemember is 7.1 mm [0.28 inch] thick and will increase the frame width from the back of the cab to the rear spring-front bracket. • DO NOT WELD ON THE FRAME REINFORCEMENT. Use compression type fasteners when attaching any component to the frame in the reinforcement area. 12. The Incomplete Econoline Cutaway Super Duty requires the removal of the L. H. Rear Shock Absorber Gusset when access to the fuel, brake lines or electrical harness may be required. 4. When welding low carbon steel side rails (36,000 P.S.I. yield strength), emphasis should be placed upon weld application techniques to avoid stress risers that may adversely affect frame operating stresses. When welding within 4 inches of any crossmember rivet, remove the rivets and replace with grade 8 bolt/nuts. 13. The Incomplete Econoline Cutaway Super Duty 176-inch WB vehicles equipped with a 55-gallon fuel tank will require an 18-inch minimum frame extension to provide for an adequate departure angle. 75 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS ENGINE 1. Refer to the Emission Certification Information section in this manual on pages 59 to 62 prior to making modifications to any engine component that could affect the emission certification. 7. When the 7.3L DI Turbo Diesel Engine requires an extended high idle device (throttle kicker), idle RPM should be through a Ford Standard Corporate Protocol serial data communication link or with a Ford approved device. Do not tap into the electrical circuits attached to the Pedal Position Sensor (PPS) or the Idle Position Switch (IPS) on the accelerator control. Do not bypass the electrical circuits attached to the PPS or IPS. See figure on page 27 for component identification. 2. Gasoline engine conversion guidelines for Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) are in the Ford Truck Body Builder Layout Book. 3. The engine should not be operated with the hood up or removed. This may allow excessive unforced air to circulate that could adversely affect the cooling system. 8. Installation of any gasoline engine speed governor is permissible provided the governor design is compatible with each respective throttle body for the individual engine application and it does not exceed specified engine maximum RPM. It must also meet all noise and engine emission requirements. Governor installations may affect electronically controlled transmissions. Contact Ford Body Builder Advisory Service before installing. 4. Adding aftermarket Turbocharging or Supercharging may void the powertrain warranty and may void other related component warranties. 5. Do not use manual throttle kickers. 6. When using electric throttle kickers on gasoline engines, set the high idle RPM as low as possible to obtain required performance. (Refer to Super Duty F-Series Body Builder’s Book for Minimum and Maximum idle RPM recommendations). The idle speed must be set when the engine is at normal operating temperature and under normal load; this RPM setting should be affixed to the vehicle; and should be checked after the 2000 mile breakin engine tune up. POWER TAKE-OFF CIRCUIT A wire located under the instrument panel labeled “Power Take-Off Circuit” is provided to minimize the inadvertent illumination of the “Service Engine Soon” while the PTO is engaged. See Figure A, Page 77 of this manual for circuit location. Connect the wire to the Power Take-Off Circuit as instructed in the Ford Body Builders Book and isolate the wire labeled “Power Take-Off Circuit” from the solenoid to prevent damage to the Power Control Module (PCM). TRANSMISSION 7. Vacuum throttle control line must not be bent, kinked, or restricted. NOTE: Vacuum operated accessories must have a separate engine vacuum source. Vacuum measurement must be within engine specifications. 1. The transmission oil filler tube and dipstick must not be altered by bending, lengthening, or shortening, and must be readily accessible in the engine compartment for checking lubricant level. NEVER ATTACH ANY COMPONENT TO THE TRANSMISSION FILLER AND DIPSTICK TUBE. 8. Transmission service identification tags must not be removed or destroyed. If the transmission is reworked or replaced, tag should be attached to new transmission. 2. The installed engine angle must not be altered. The relative position of engine and transmission to shift linkage must not be altered. 9. Electronically controlled automatic transmission wire harness routing location, wire harness locating clips, all heat shielding, and clearance to the exhaust must be maintained as installed from the assembly plant. 3. Transmission vent must not be altered, pinched, collapsed, or the vent opening must not be restricted or relocated. 10. The manual transmission filler plug should not be obstructed, preventing easy checking of lube level or filling. 4. Adequate tool clearance and suitable access openings for transmission adjustments must be provided. Transmission removal provisions must also be considered. 11. Body structures should not be less than 1.00 inch from the rectangular vent holes on the top surface of the manual transmission housing. 5. Transmission oil cooler lines should not be kinked, bent, or restricted. All oil cooler lines must be properly retained with adequate clips. The truck-type external oil cooler must not be “boxed in” so as to prevent adequate air circulation. Use only with Ford factory coolers. 12. Bulletins Q-14 and Q-18 contain additional detailed information on modifications which may affect transmissions. To obtain a copy, contact the Ford Truck Body Builder Advisory Service on 1-800-635-5560. 6. Transmission shift cable, transmission outer shift lever and shift cable bracket must not be altered and must have provisions for adjusting tool clearance. A severe duty (booted) shift cable is available as a service part from Ford Dealers for Super Duty F-Series vehicles which experience extensive off-road use. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 76 POWER TAKE-OFF INSTALLATIONS allowed with 4R100 transmission). Driveline Modification Bulletin Q-14 is available from the Ford Truck Body Builder Advisory Service for your reference. 1. The F250/350/450/550 ZF 5-Speed and 6-Speed heavy duty manual overdrive transmissions as well as the 4R100 automatic overdrive transmission will accommodate a direct mount gear driven PTO. (Note: The 4R100 PTO provision is an option available with 6.8L and 7.3L engine applications only. 5. Consider the potential effect on engine compartment and underbody temperatures with the operation of the PTO systems utilizing high idle duty cycles. Refer to the Engine Design Recommendations #3 and #6 on Page 76. 2. Gear driven PTO systems should consider RPM and power requirements of the system, along with driveline operating angles, operating clearances and PTO engagement systems. 6. A wire located under the instrument panel labeled “Power Take-Off Circuit” is provided to minimize the inadvertent illumination of the “Service Engine Soon” light while the PTO is engaged. (See Figure A below for circuit location). This circuit must be completed by the Body Builder in accordance with guidelines referenced in the Super Duty F-Series Body Builders Layout Book to prevent possible damage to Power Control Module (PCM). 3. Belt driven PTO systems are allowed on 7.3L applications. Adaption of these systems on 5.4L/6.8L applications require the purchase of an auxiliary crankshaft bearing support bracket. These installations should not interrupt the Ford front end accessory drive system and should consider clearance for engine roll and component movement during normal operation. A separate drive belt, direct from the engine crankshaft pulley, should be considered where possible for these type of systems. 7. Contact the Ford Truck Body Builder Advisory Service (1-800-635-5560) or advice on stationary vehicle power takeoff applications. 8. Additional information is available in the Truck Power Takeoff Data section of the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book. 4. Split driveshaft PTO systems should consider the affect on the vehicle driveline. (Note: These systems are not IMPORTANT: The manufacturer of the PTO system and the installer are responsible for any effects that the system has on the vehicle or the operation of the vehicle POWER TAKE-OFF CIRCUIT FIGURE A - POWER TAKE-OFF CIRCUIT LOCATION DRIVELINE 1. Bulletin Q-14, “Guidelines for Modifying Light Truck Drivelines,” is available from the Ford Truck Body Builder Advisory Service. Any deviation from Ford specifications may adversely affect powertrain system operation including engine and transmission, or component reliability. Subsequent stage manufacturers, or installers, are responsible to maintain Ford specifications in the completion of such modifications. Bulletin Q-14 can assist the subsequent stage manufacturers with this responsibility. 2. Rear axle vent and hose, if installed, must not be bent, pinched, or obstructed so that normal “breathing” of the rear axle is provided. 3. On all rear axle assemblies, additional bracket bars or supports must not be welded to the axle assembly. Attachment of any equalizing-type trailer hitch or auxiliary suspension systems (springs) must not be attached to the rear axle assembly. 77 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS SECOND UNIT BODY ATTACHMENT INFORMATION UNDERBODY HEAT MANAGEMENT The following recommendations are intended to assist in the design of second unit bodies and body mounting systems that will control second unit body movement with respect to the Ford supplied chassis when tested to the procedures specified in F/CMVSS 204, 208, 212, 219 and 301. These recommendations are based on testing and analyses performed by Ford Motor Company. 1. Underbody longitudinal or lateral air movement should not be restricted. Frame spacers designed by the intermediate and final stage manufacturer should provide for adequate airflow over the frame. 2. No portion of the floor pan should drop below the body sills, nor should the underbody structure drop below the top surfaces of the number 3 and 4 crossmembers. These conditions can result in reduced airflow, pinched fuel lines or vapor hoses which can raise the temperature of underbody components and increase fuel system pressure. Second Unit Bodies (SUB) and their body mounting systems may take many forms, and the following recommendations cannot cover all the possibilities. Strict adherence to these recommendations will not assure that the completed vehicle will comply with F/CMVSS 204, 208, 212, 219, and 301. The final stage manufacturer who installs a second unit body on the chassis is responsible for compliance to the above mentioned regulations. Accordingly, Ford Motor Company cannot represent that these recommendations are appropriate for every specific application of a second unit body, the body mounting system or act of a subsequent stage manufacturer. 3. Any interior floor underlayment or insulation in the near vicinity of the exhaust system, without benefit of the Ford provided heat shields, must be capable of withstanding 371°C [700°F] (and 482°C [900°F] in close proximity to the catalyst) during normal operating conditions. Additionally, any under chassis mounted components within 101.6 mm [4.00 inches] of the exhaust system must be compatible with these temperatures. To verify compliance of a particular second unit body and selected body mounting system with F/CMVSS 204, 208, 212, 219, and 301, the testing of a representative vehicle to the applicable procedures of the above regulations is recommended. Questions regarding compliance with F/CMVSS regulations should be directed to your legal counsel, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or Transport Canada. The subsequent stage manufacturer should also consider the following situations, which may adversely affect heat management. • Poor vehicle service or lack of maintenance • Deviation from a 50/50 ethylene glycol based antifreeze (coolant) to water ratio • Exceeding Ford GVW and GCW ratings • Malfunctioning systems such as exhaust or engine SECOND UNIT BODY STRUCTURES • Altering, changing, removing Ford engine fan and shroud The structural design and materials used in the construction of second unit bodies must be sufficient to help control collapse of the body and prevent disengagement from the chassis when tested in accordance with the specifications of F/CMVSS 204, 208, 212, 219 and 301. Steel or aluminum structures are recommended, however, wood or composite materials may require additional reinforcements to provide the structural integrity required for actual crash testing. SUB structures should not extend beyond (overhang) the end of the chassis (frame sidemembers). • Blocked radiator grille area (spare tire, bicycles, etc.) • Use of throttle kickers 4. Second Unit Body exterior panels, tool boxes, running boards, structures or skirting that extend below the bottom of the frame, may affect underbody temperatures. The final stage manufacturer should verify that underbody temperatures of the completed vehicle are compatible with all vehicle’s components when under conditions that consider the projected vehicle duty cycle and vehicle loading. 5. Full-width mudflaps should not be installed, as they restrict airflow under the vehicle and can also increase underbody temperatures. SECOND UNIT BODY FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS SUB floor and bulkhead structures must accommodate the Ford fuel fill system and suggested design clearances. Fill neck locations and all F/CMVSS 301 compliance representations are in the Statements of Conformity section of this manual, see pages 46-55, and refer to the Design Recommendations on pages 65-68 for additional detailed information. 6. Added structure or equipment should not restrict air circulation in the engine compartment/underbody. 7. Added body vents, especially powered vents, should be located away from the fuel filler and venting areas and exhaust to avoid fuel fumes and vapors entering the interior of the vehicle. SECOND UNIT BODY ELECTRICAL 8. Use of wood in construction should be eliminated where at all possible. If used, wood should be adequately protected from moisture and heat. Shields should be added if wood is installed near exhaust components. Some electrical power sources are identified in the Design Recommendations, Electrical System section of this manual on page 69, and the F/CMVSS 108 compliance representations are on pages 22-24 of this manual. Additional information is available in the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book. DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 78 ECONOLINE CUTAWAY SUB MOUNTING SYSTEM The attachment of the SUB to the Cutaway body should consider the following: Ford provides optional SUB mounting spacers which will isolate the SUB from the frame. The SUB should be attached to these spacers using all the provided holes in the spacer with a suggested minimum 7/16-14 UNC grade 8 fastener. These fasteners should be directed away from any fuel system component or should not extend 25.4 mm [1.00 in] below the spacer flange. The location of these spacers are shown in the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book. The rubber isolators on the spacers are capable of 19.0 mm [0.75 in] movement in spherical zone from a static (design) position, which is the same for the isolators that mount the Cutaway body to frame. A similar isolator system for the SUB, as used on the Cutaway body is recommended. This will minimize squeaks, raffles, and water or air leaks at the mounting surface of the SUB, to Cutaway body. The Ford optional spacers will accommodate the recommended fuel fill neck installation as shown in Figure C page 52, and a recommended 101.6 mm [4 in] minimum clearance between the frame and the bottom of the SUB (except at the rear axle kick-up area). 1. Blind installation of self expanding nut type fasteners can be located in the zone as defined in the figure, on this page, and should allow for functional expansion, and be equally spaced. The body edge flange may also be used for fasteners provided the center of the required hole is 1.5 times the hole diameter from the edge of the panel. These recommendations apply to both B-pillar attachment. 2. Removal of the access panel and fasteners at the lower area of the B-pillar will allow for flush mounting of the SUB. This opening should be completely covered and sealed from obvious climatic conditions. 3. Roof attachments should be equally spaced and are permitted on the flange provided. The center of the required holes should be 1.5 times the hole diameter from the edge of the flange. 4. Floor attachments should be equally spaced and are permitted on the flange provided. The center of the required holes should be 1.5 times the hole diameter from the edge of the panel. Vehicles not equipped with the Ford optional spacers, have 34.8 mm [1.37 in] diameter holes on the upper flange of the frame sidemembers for body to frame isolators. The density/ durometer, size, and quantity of these isolators should be based on the SUB weight plus the projected payload of the completed vehicle, within the limits of the GAWRs and GVWR, as determined by the final stage manufacturer. 5. Washers or doublers should be considered to increase bearing surface under a fastener, decrease sheet metal fatigue, squeaks, rattles, and increase joint integrity. 6. Gaskets or sealers installed between the Cutaway body and the SUB should consider the displacement and stabilization of such materials when clamped, and the affect on joint integrity. Econoline Cutaway Super Duty vehicles have a transmission mounted parking brake. SUB structures should clear this component by 25.4 mm [1.00 in] minimum. Second unit body mounting components not provided by Ford must be installed on the frame in areas as shown on page 87 of this manual. Additional information is available in the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book. [176-in] WB vehicles equipped with a 55-gallon fuel tank will require an 457 mm [18-in] minimum frame extension to provide for an adequate departure angle.

These SUB mountings were tested by Ford Motor Company and found to be capable of complying with F/CMVSS requirements. The sketches in Figures on pages 82 and 83 depict SUB mounting techniques that are recommended to vehicle alterers. This information is intended to assist in the design of Second Unit Bodies and body mounting systems that will control SUB movement with respect to the Ford supplied chassis when tested to the procedures specified in F/CMVSS 204, 208, 212, 219, and 301. SUB Mounting Technique #3 for 56” CA with SUB Weight 1800 lbs or Less A third alternative mounting scheme is a top bolted mounting technique. This top bolted SUB mounting is recommended for the Super Duty F-Series pickup trucks with a 1422 mm [56 in] CA. This technique uses the existing pickup box mounting holes to mount a SUB weighing 3960 kg [1800 lb] or less provided the SUB is mounted in a similar fashion to Ford’s pickup box. These mountings should use the same number of OEM fasteners and OEM locations. Figure C on page 84 depicts this technique. Second Unit Bodies (SUB) and their body mounting systems may take many forms, and the following recommendations cannot cover all the possibilities. Strict adherence to these recommendations will not assure that the completed vehicle will comply with F/CMVSS 204, 208, 212, 219, and 301. The final stage manufacturer who installs a second unit body on the chassis is responsible for compliance to the above mentioned regulations. Accordingly, Ford Motor Company cannot represent that these recommendations are appropriate for every specific application of a second unit body, the body mounting system or act of a subsequent stage manufacturer. SUB Mounting Technique #4 for 56” CA with SUB Weight Over 1800 lbs This technique embodies the Front and Rear Shear plate attachment as depicted in SUB Mounting Techniques #1 and #2, but requires addition of U-bolts for further attachment. Figures E and F on page 85 depicts this technique. To verify compliance of a particular second unit body and selected body mounting system with F/CMVSS 204, 208, 212, 219, and 301, the testing of a representative vehicle to the applicable procedures of the above regulations is recommended. Questions regarding compliance with F/CMVSS regulations should be directed to your legal counsel, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or Transport Canada. Chassis Cab (Narrow Frame) The intent of the illustrations in Figures E and F on page 85 show the SUB mounting design recommendations for Super Duty F-Series Trucks with a 60”, 84” or 120” Cab to Axle (CA). Shear plate holes are pre-punched on all chassis cab frames. (Continued Next Page) DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 80 DETAILS OF ALTERNATIVE SECOND UNIT BODY MOUNTING TECHNIQUES SUB Mounting Technique #3 - Pickup box attachment - Six, 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 flange nuts and bolts that utilize the existing pickup box holes in the top frame flanges. See Figure C on page 84. The following SUB mounting design recommendations are methods of attachment that are intended to minimize SUB movement under crash situations. The following items are important factors in the performance of the system: SUB Mounting Technique #4 - (56” CA with SUB weight over 1800 lbs.) - Same as Technique #1 except with addition of U-bolts as shown in Figure D on page 84. 1. The forwardmost surface of the SUB is located at least 76.2 mm [3.0 in] behind the rearmost surface of the cab. Refer to the statements of conformity for F/CMVSS 212/ 219 and F/CMVSS 301. 4. For Super Duty F-Series Chassis Cab vehicles with a 60”, 84” or 120” CA. It is recommended that the front shear plate mounting holes as provided on each chassis, be used. Refer to Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book for dimensions. Same front and rear shear plate attachments as SUB Mounting Technique #1 or #2 with a 5/8 inch diameter U-bolt spaced every 24 to 36 inches. See Figure E on page 85. When U-bolts are used, vertical spacers must be between the upper and lower frame flanges at each U-bolt to prevent collapse of the flanges. See Figure F on page 85. U-bolt torque must be checked every six months. 2. The frame to SUB spacers must provide adequate space to allow a proper fuel filler pipe installation on pickup box delete models as shown in Figures on pages 53 and 54. 3. The following are SUB mounting instructions for a SUB weight of 3960 kg [1800 lb] or less and a 56 inch CA: SUB Mounting Technique #1 - Front Shear plate attachment - Two, 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers in the OEM frame. One, 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolt, nut, and washer with a 1/4 inch equivalent weld bead around three sides of the shear plate and the SUB mounting frame, skip welded at the shear plate corners. See Figure A, View A, on page 82. Do not weld the shear plates to the frame. The following items are important factors in the performance of the system: • The spacer should have a slight taper which starts at the front of the SUB frame. See Figures on pages 82 and 83. SUB Mounting Technique #1 - Rear Shear plate attachment - Three, 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers in the OEM frame. One 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolt, nut, and washer with a 1/4 inch equivalent weld bead around three sides of the shear plate and the SUB mounting frame skip welded at the shear plate corners. See Figure A, View B, on page 82. Do not weld the shear plates to the frame. • Front shear plates should be angled forward approximately 45 to 60 degrees from the horizontal. Front shear plates should be a sufficient distance from the front of the SUB to allow for frame flexing, i.e., front shear plates should be placed behind the tapered section of the spacer. • Use 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers that attach the shear plates to the OEM vehicle and SUB frames. SUB Mounting Technique #2 - Front Shear plate attachment - Two, 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers in the OEM frame. Two 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers in the SUB mounting frame. See Figure B, View C, on page 83. • 60-65 ft-lb torque for the 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers. • Direct the threaded end of the bolts away from any fuel, brake or electrical system component. It is important to note that the final-stage manufacturer still has the final responsibility to determine F/CMVSS 204, 208, 212, 219, and 301 rationale for the vehicle in question. The final-stage manufacturer should use prior engineering analysis, vehicle crash tests, actual field crash data, and the SUB unit manufacturer design information to determine the vehicle certification rationale as stated in the previous sentence. SUB Mounting Technique # 2 - Rear Shear plate attachment - Three 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers in the OEM frame. Two 5/8 inch diameter, Grade 8 bolts, nuts, and washers in the SUB mounting frame. See Figure B, View D, on page 83.

SPACER TYPICAL INSTALLATION (VIEW SHOWING INBOARD SIDE OF RAIL) FIGURE F - SUB FRAME SPACER U-BOLT Where wraparound body attachments (such as U-bolts) are used, the frame sidemembers must have flange reinforcement spacers to avoid flange damage when full torque is applied to attaching bolts. Spacers must be cut out to clear brake lines, fuel lines, wiring, etc. If metal spacers are used, no welding to frame sidemembers is permitted. Body attachments that wrap around the frame must maintain adequate clearance to OEM fuel systems and suspension components. Tapered hardwood spacers between vocational-body sill and frame sidemember flanges are recommended. A minimum of one set of shear plates per side is recommended. Also, one set of side shift plates should be attached to vocational-body sills per side. Periodic checking of body attachments for torque retention is highly recommended. 85 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Second Unit Body Attachment (Continued) E-250/E-350 COMMERCIAL BASIC (STRIPPED) CHASSIS SECOND UNIT BODY Front body bolsters should be attached to the frame sidemember as far forward as possible. They should be welded to the web of the frame sidemember immediately to the rear of the front radiator and cowl support structure as shown in the figure on this page, View A. Front bolsters should not be bolted to the frame sidemember in this area since there is no access to the inside surface of the frame sidemember. A full length structural body should be attached to the chassis utilizing a system of body bolsters bolted and welded to the chassis frame sidemember as shown in the figure on this page. Rear body bolsters extend along the parallel sections of the frame sidemember as shown in figure on this page. Rear body bolsters should be bolted to the top flange of the frame sidemember using the existing 35.5 mm [1.40 in] diameter holes as shown in the figure on this page, View B. Each front bolster should be rigidly connected to the corresponding rear bolster through the body floor or a tie bar. Do not weld to the flanges of the side rail. Refer to the welding precautions in the Frame section of these Design Recommendations on page 75. Bolsters attachment in the rear axle kick-up area can be accomplished by bolting shear plates to the web of the frame sidemember as shown in the figure on this page, View C.

FORD URGES AMBULANCE MANUFACTURERS TO FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATIONS FURNISHED IN THIS INCOMPLETE VEHICLE MANUAL, THE FORD TRUCK BODY BUILDERS LAYOUT BOOK (AND ANY PERTINENT SUPPLEMENTS), AND THE QUALIFIED VEHICLE MODIFIER (Q.V.M.) GUIDELINES. 1. All Underbody Heat Management statements on page 78 apply to completed ambulance type vehicles. 2. Data concerning the effect of hood louvers is inconclusive. If a Body Builder chooses to add them, the opening should be directed rearward to avoid recirculating discharged hot air through the radiator. Remember, the vehicle interior vent air enters the passenger compartment at the base of the windshield. Louvers may direct heated air or fumes toward this opening. Removal of the underhood insulation may affect Exterior Noise compliance. See the Exterior Noise information on page 60. 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. 3. To deal with exceptionally high electrical loads, Ford vehicles with the Ambulance Prep Package are equipped with a 215 amp alternator, dual batteries and heavy duty wiring to handle higher current loads. Added wiring should be of sufficient capacity to handle the higher current loads. The alternator should not be modified or altered. VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH FORD AMBULANCE PREPARATION PACKAGES HAVE LABELS LOCATED ON (THE INSIDE) DRIVER-DOOR LOCK PILLAR THAT STATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS SO EQUIPPED. (See Page 4.) 4. Added body vents, especially powered vents, should be located away from the fuel filler, fuel venting areas and exhaust to avoid fuel fumes and vapors entering the interior of the vehicle. INFORMATION 5. Equipment such as flashing lights and sirens, spare tire, or any other accessories should not be installed in the grille area forward of the radiator or air cleaner air inlet. Doing so restricts proper air flow through the radiator and engine compartment, with the exception of a siren or lights which may be mounted to the front bumper. Also, they may not exceed 90 square inches each or 180 square inches combined in area. See Figure A on this page. Ford urges careful consideration of the recommendations that follow. They are based on analyses of component and vehicle tests, actual service situations, and engineering judgments. Disregard of these recommendations may affect the durability, reliability, handling and performance characteristics of a completed vehicle and may elevate underbody temperatures and/or increase the potential for fire, or may affect the safety of the occupants in the event of an accident. 6. An ambulance is not to be used as a tow vehicle. These recommendations are supplemental to U.S. and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety compliance representations provided earlier in this manual. Additional information is also provided in the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book and Ford Truck Shop Manual which may be helpful to subsequent stage manufacturers. Subsequent Stage Manufacturers are encouraged to contact the Ford Light Truck Body Builder Advisory Service on 1-800-635-5560 if they have any questions concerning these recommendations.
