SSM 470282018-06-11. Service bulletin. ENGINE. Some 2011-2018 F-Super Duty 6.7L diesel equipped vehicles may exhibit a ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as Typewriter Noise because of its similarity to the sound of a mechanical typewriter. When engine temperatures reach 150 Å?F (65 Å?C) or higher, (from engine idle up to approximately 1700 RPM's), this noise can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area. Typewriter Noise is not detrimental to engine function or durability and has no short or long term effects on the engine. Do not attempt repairs to eliminate this noise. This noise is characteristic of the 6.7L diesel engine and will typically cease or diminish significantly within the oil change maintenance interval.
SSM 470282018-05-29. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some 2011-2018 F-Super Duty 6.7L diesel equipped vehicles may exhibit a ticking noise at idle after an engine oil change. It is often referred to as Typewriter Noise because of its similarity to the sound of a mechanical typewriter. When engine temperatures reach 150 Å?F (65 Å?C) or higher, (from engine idle up to approximately 1700 RPM's), this noise can typically be heard at the front wheel well and is often isolated to the transmission bell housing or oil pan area. Typewriter Noise is not detrimental to engine function or durability and has no short or long term effects on the engine. Do not attempt repairs to eliminate this noise. This noise is characteristic of the 6.7L diesel engine and will typically cease or diminish significantly within the oil change maintenance interval.
SSM 464072017-03-20. Service bulletin. ENGINE. SOME 2011-2017 F-SUPER DUTY 6.7L DIESEL EQUIPPED VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A TICKING NOISE AT IDLE AFTER AN ENGINE OIL CHANGE. IT IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS TYPEWRITER NOISE BECAUSE OF ITS SIMILARITY TO THE SOUND OF A MECHANICAL TYPEWRITER. WHEN ENGINE TEMPERATURES REACH 150 ŒF (65 ŒC) OR HIGHER, (FROM ENGINE IDLE UP TO APPROXIMATELY 1700 RPM'S), THIS NOISE CAN TYPICALLY BE HEARD AT THE FRONT WHEEL WELL AND IS OFTEN ISOLATED TO THE TRANSMISSION BELL HOUSING OR OIL PAN AREA. TYPEWRITER NOISE IS NOT DETRIMENTAL TO ENGINE FUNCTION OR DURABILITY AND HAS NO SHORT OR LONG TERM EFFECTS ON THE ENGINE. DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS TO ELIMINATE THIS NOISE. THIS NOISE IS CHARACTERISTIC OF THE 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE AND WILL TYPICALLY CEASE OR DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY WITHIN THE OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE INTERVAL.
SSM 461532017-02-09. Service bulletin. TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS. SETTING THE CORRECT TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN THE PRE-DELIVERY PROCESS AND DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS. RECENT CUSTOMER CLINICS REVEALED THAT MOST EVERY VEHICLE IN THE CLINICS HAD THE TIRE PRESSURES SET INCORRECTLY. TIRE PRESSURES FROM THE FACTORY ARE NOT SET TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION. MAINTAINING THE CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE IS KEY TO THE RIDE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE AND AFFECTS RIDE QUALITY, HANDLING, LOAD CAPACITY AND TIRE WEAR. THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE SETTINGS CAN BE FOUND ON THE TIRE INFORMATION LABEL IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR JAM. DO NOT USE THE TIRE PRESSURES LISTED ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRES. MAINTAINING THE TIRE PRESSURE IS PART OF NORMAL MAINTENANCE. IT SHOULD BE RECHECKED MONTHLY, PER THE OWNER GUIDE AND DURING THE RECOMMENDED TIRE ROTATION INTERVALS.
