ELECTRICAL WIRING CUSTOMER ACCESS CIRCUITS
1. Super Duty F-Series and selected E-Series SuperDuty vehicles are equipped with a number ofconveniently located electrical wiring taps. Most tapsare fused, having locations under the instrumentpanel, in the engine compartment, and at the rear ofthe frame. Illustrations, schematics and a wiringharness for Trailer Tow is provided in a cardboardbox shipped with each vehicle. The circuits at therear of the frame are provided to support trailerwiring requirements or the Second Unit Body (SUB)additions. The E-Series and Super Duty F-SeriesCircuit charts have a brief description of each circuitfunction, wire gauge, color code and electricalschematic.
1. The Ford starting and the charging system shouldnot be altered.
2. The completed vehicle total electrical load must notexceed the maximum output of the alternator.
3. Do not route or attach electrical wires to fuel lines.
4. Engine compartment wiring must not be rerouted inany manner.
5. The 6.4L diesel engine requires two batteries wiredin parallel for proper starting operation and must notbe isolated. Do not modify the Glow Plugs PowerCircuits.
6. Ford recommends that all additional underhood andunderbody wiring:
• be cross-linked polyethylene, or equivalent, hightemperature insulation wire 125° C [257° F]minimum rating.
• meet SAE specifications J1128 type SXL, GXL orTXL.
• meet SAE J1127 type SGX or STX for batterycables.
• 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 asnot to interfere with operating zones of suchcomponents as throttle or transmission linkage.
• not be routed near the exhaust system or noother source of high heat; melted insulation canresult in electrical shorts and system failure.
• be routed away from hostile surfaces and sharpedges and be secured in its intended location.
• be protected by rubber grommets when it passesthrough body or frame openings. Use customeraccess pass-thru circuits provided on Super DutyF-Series to avoid additional openings betweenpassenger and engine compartments.
• be protected from electrical shorts by fuses orcircuit breakers.
• be routed at least 38 mm [1.5 in] away fromengine.
7. Interior wiring not exposed to high temperaturesmay be SAE approved, general purpose wire.
8. Ground the second unit body to the frame in atleast two locations, and if required, add anadditional frame to engine ground cable to improvethe ground path to the battery.
9. Splicing into circuitry relating to the powertraincontrol systems is not acceptable because of theadverse effect on the electrical system operation.
10. Batteries must be disconnected before welding tobody and chassis components. Note thatdisconnecting the batteries will result in a memoryloss on electronic engine/ transmission controlledvehicles. The vehicle will require several miles ofdriving in various driving modes to restore itsmemory and regain optimum operating conditions.
11. Electrical connections exposed to the elementsshould be appropriately protected.
12. Do not ground the body to the transmission ortransmission crossmember.
13. Ignition circuit of any engine should not be altered.
14. Alternator circuit wiring must not be altered bycutting, soldering or splicing.
15. Some head lamps are plastic and have protectivecoatings which can be damaged by solvents ortape. Refer to the Owner’s Guide for propercleaning procedures.
16. For convenience Super Duty F-Series has (4) 14ga. blunt-cut pass-thru circuits located in the cabinwithin a bundle above the parking brake pedal andfound in the engine compartment in a harnessbelow the cowl, just outboard of the brake mastercylinder. E-Series also has (2) 12 ga. pass-thrucircuits located in the cabin above the driver-sidekick-panel in a 6-pin connector (F7UB-14A41-B)and found in the engine compartment at the 4-pinconnector (F4UB-14A411-A) in a harness belowthe cowl, outboard of the brake master cylinder.These circuits provide an unfused means tointerface wiring between the cabin and the enginecompartment without drilling through the dashpanel. Refer to Quality Bulletin Q-108 and theCustomer Access Circuits charts for furtherinformation regarding pass-thru circuits.
17. Center High Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) wiringtaps are provided on E-Series Super DutyCutaway/Stripped Chassis and Super Duty F-Series Chassis Cab vehicles.
18. Electrical bulbs are listed in the Owner’s ManualBulb Chart. Check for the “DOT” marking on thebulb base which means the bulb meets U.S. “DOT”standards. Bulbs without the “DOT” marking or thatproduce different colors other than the originalbulbs as listed in the bulb chart, may affect thelamps light output, aim, glare and your safety; inaddition, such bulbs may burn out early or damagethe lamp.
19. Super Duty F-Series vehicles are equipped with aclean tachometer output (CTO) wiring tap. The tapis designated circuit 76 (LG/WH) and is locatedunder dash near the parking brake pedal. This tapshould be used if a tachometer signal is required.The signal is digital and requires a digitaltachometer. The signal pulse rate is half thenumber of engine cylinders per revolution (i.e., 4 for5.4L gas, 6.4L Diesel, and 5 for 6.8L gas). E-Seriesvehicles are also equipped with CTO wiring tap.The tap is designated circuit 648 (WH/PK) and islocated under hood near the PCM connector.
20. Super Duty F-Series vehicles equipped with the6.4L Diesel engine have two additional outputwiring taps. The taps are the vehicle speed out(VSO) and throttle position out (TPO). The VSO tapis designated circuit 239 (WH/OG) and the TPO tapis designated circuit 1857 (YE/WH). Both taps arelocated under dash near the parking brake pedal.The VSO tap signal frequency is 2.22 times thevehicle speed in miles per hour. The TPO tap is apulse width modulated output from 0 - 100% of5.1kHz signal.

SECOND UNIT BODY MOUNTINGE-SERIES CUTAWAY
E-SERIES SUPER DUTY CUTAWAY SUB MOUNTINGSYSTEM
FORD OPTIONAL SPACERS
Ford provides optional SUB mounting spacers whichwill isolate the SUB from the frame. The SUB should beattached to these spacers using all the provided holesin the spacer with a suggested minimum 7/16-14 UNCgrade 8 fastener. These fasteners should be directedaway from any fuel system component or should notextend more than 25.4 mm [1.00 in] below the spacerflange. The location of these spacers is shown on page53-59. The rubber isolators on the spacers are capableof 19.0 mm [0.75 in] movement in spherical zone from astatic (design) position, which is the same for theisolators that mount the Cutaway body to frame. Thiswill minimize squeaks, rattles and water or air leaks atthe mounting surface of the SUB, to Cutaway body. TheFord optional spacers will accommodate therecommended fuel fill neck installation and arecommended 101.6 mm [4.00 in] minimum clearancebetween the frame and the bottom of the SUB (exceptat the rear axle kick-up area).
NON-FORD SPACERS
Vehicles not equipped with the Ford optional spacershave 34.8 mm [1.37 in] diameter holes on the upperflange of the frame sidemembers for body to frameisolators. The density/durometer, size and quantity ofthese isolators should be based on the SUB weight plusthe projected payload of the completed vehicle, withinthe limits of the GAWRs and GVWR, as determined bythe final stage manufacturer.
NO SPACERS
If the final stage manufacturer chooses to attach theSUB (or other components) to the frame by bolting orwelding, the following restrictions are to be followed:1. The frame rail flanges, including the flange bend
radius, must not be drilled or welded upon. Also,flanges may not be cut/trimmed to provideclearance to added hardware or structure.
2. When bolting the SUB (or other components) to theframe, follow the guidelines on the following pages.
Note that hard mounting of the SUB to the frame and tothe cutaway body may result in NVH and cutaway bodydurability issues.
NOTES
E-450 Super Duty Cutaway and Stripped Chassisvehicles have a transmission mounted parking brake.SUB structures should clear this component by 25.4mm [1.00 in] minimum.
[176.00 in] WB vehicles equipped with a 55-gallon fueltank will require a 457 mm [18.00 in] minimum frameextension to provide for an adequate departure angle.
The attachment of the SUB to the Cutaway body shouldconsider the following:1. Blind installation of self- expanding nut type
fasteners can be located in the zone as defined inthe figure on this page, and should allow forfunctional expansion, and be equally spaced. Thebody edge flange may also be used for fastenersprovided the center of the required hole is 1.5 timesthe hole diameter from the edge of the panel.These recommendations apply to both B-pillarattachment.
2. Removal of the access panel and fasteners at thelower area of the B-pillar will allow for flushmounting of the SUB. This opening should becompletely covered and sealed from obviousclimatic conditions.
3. Roof attachments should be equally spaced andare permitted on the flange provided. The center ofthe required holes should be 1.5 times the holediameter from the edge of the flange.
4. Floor attachments should be equally spaced andare permitted on the flange provided. The center ofthe required holes should be 1.5 times the holediameter from the edge of the panel.
5. Washers or doublers should be considered toincrease the bearing surface under fasteners toincrease joint integrity and to decrease sheet metalfatigue, squeaks, and rattles.
6. Gaskets or sealers installed between the Cutawaybody and the SUB should consider thedisplacement and stabilization of such materialswhen clamped, and the effect on joint integrity.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 2008 MODEL YEAR
COOLING SYSTEM1. Equipment such as flashing lights and sirens, spare tires
or any other accessories should not be installed in thegrille area forward of the radiator or air cleaner air inlet.Doing so restricts proper air flow through the radiator andengine compartments. E-Series and Super Duty F-Seriesare illustrated in the figure below.
2. For proper engine cooling, do not alter, change thelocations of, or remove the original equipment fan, fanclutch, or shroud.
3. Maintain a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol-basedantifreeze-to-water ratio when adding or modifying theheater system or auxiliary heater system. A 60/40antifreeze-to-water ratio may be necessary during wintermonths in very cold climates. For the remainder of theyear, however, a 50/50 ratio should be maintained.
4. Upper radiator hoses and heater hoses, which are addedor replaces, should be EPDM-Kevlar composition. Lowerradiator hoses should be EPDM-Rayon composition.
5. The radiator and fan shroud should not be used asstructural members and additional components shouldnot be attached.
6. Revisions to the Front End Accessory Drive System mayaffect the cooling system/component performance andare not recommended.
7. Do not alter or modify the automatic transmission coolingsystem.
8. The minimum radiator grille opening (excluding all grilleparts) for the E-Series Stripped Chassis, to provideoptimum cooling for the engine, is 300 sq. in.
9. Equipment, hazardous materials markers, or placardsmust not obstruct the airflow to the radiator or the aircleaner inlet on the E-Series Super Duty StrippedChassis.
10. The E-Series Super Duty Stripped Chassis enginecompartment must be designed to eliminate any aircirculation restriction that would affect the air induction orcooling systems. An engine compartment must provideadequate flow-through ventilation to prevent local airtemperature from exceeding recommended maximums.
CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM1. An Auxiliary Heater A/C Connector Package can be either
standard or optional on E-Series vehicles for connectingauxiliary climate control systems to the Ford system. Thefollowing items are important for the maximum efficiencyof the combined systems:• The connector tubes are under the floor directly below
the driver’s seat.• The heater supply tube is identified with a white paint
dot and should be connected to the lowest connectionport on the auxiliary heater core.
• The A/C connector tubes have a 20 x 1.5-6g metricthread for high pressure and 24 x 2.0-6g metric threadfor low pressure.
• If the vehicle is equipped with the auxiliary heater-airconditioner, do not operate the front A/C system prior tothe addition of an auxiliary system. The system oil couldsettle in the connector tubes and not provide lubricationto the compressor. See Bulletin Q-47. To obtain a copy,log on to www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/ and select fromthe “Bulletins” tab.
• The Ford provided auxiliary blower switch requires anelectric relay for high-speed blower operation. Additionaldetailed information is available in Bulletin Q-19. Toobtain a copy, log on to www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/and select from the “Bulletins” tab.
2. R-134a charge A/C systems must use PAG-type lubricatingoil YN-12-D, Ford part number F2AZ-19577-AD. Always usethe same refrigerant and lubricating oil as originally equippedby Ford Motor Company.
3. Maintain a 4% suspended oil ratio in the A/C system forproper compressor lubrication.
4. E-Series A/C and Refrigerant Oil System are classifiedinto the following types:
A label stating the total refrigerant charge, type ofrefrigerant (R-134a), and type of compressor lubricant oil(PAG) used must be affixed in a conspicuous place in theengine compartment.
5. The A/C compressor will cycle during the defrost mode. Arefrigerant shut-off valve for the auxiliary system mayimpair compressor lubrication.
6. R-134a charged A/C systems should use barrier type A/Chose. Barbed fittings and external clamping may not becompatible with this type of hose. Swaged, permanentfittings on this type of hose are recommended.
7. NEVER ATTACH ANY COMPONENT TO THETRANSMISSION FILLER AND DIPSTICK TUBE.
8. Auxiliary heater and air conditioning systems hoseroutings must consider the following:• Dynamic engine roll or any system component which
has an operating zone. Make sure there is adequateclearance (e.g., transmission downshift linkage,steering column shift linkage).
• Do not route heater or A/C hoses directly over or nearthe exhaust system.
• Do not route hoses by attaching to the engine.• Use only metallic “Y” and “T” type fittings or OEM
approved materials.• Do not route hose in wheelhouse area.• Do not route by sharp edges or moving
component parts. There must be shield protectionfrom any potential abrasive source.
• When routing in stone kickup area, lines should beprotected by shields. Minimize use of concentricprotective heater hose shields. Limit length of concentrichose shields to 305 mm [12 in] maximum.
9. For additional information, refer to Bulletin Q-148, “AirConditioning and Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) DesignBest Practices - E-Series and F-Series”, available atwww.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas under the “Bulletins” tab.
10. Front End Air Flow:• There should be nothing mounted in front of nor behind the
front end grille opening which could reduce the effective airflow to the cooling module.
• Under no circumstances should there be anymodifications to the fan shroud or stator.
• Do not modify or remove any seals which are part of thecooling module (e.g., body seals, condenser seals,radiator seals, snow shield).
11. Vehicles ordered with Auxiliary A/C Prep Packages:• When attaching an aftermarket Auxiliary A/C unit to an
existing OEM front A/C system, the Auxiliary A/C unitmust use a Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV) - a ClutchCycling Orifice Tube (CCOT) cannot be used.
• Compressor discharge gas temperature should notexceed 130°C [266°F] under any driving or idleconditions.
E-SERIES STRIP CHASSIS A/C PREP PACKAGE1. The E-350/450 chassis cab comes with a R-134a (non-
CFC) A/C Prep Package. The package consists of acompressor, condenser, front CCOT HVAC assembly,accumulator, FEAD, and connection points for a TXV-Controlled Auxiliary A/C unit.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
EXHAUST SYSTEM
1. Do not substitute exhaust system components oradd to those furnished by Ford, except as noted inthis section. Such a substitution or addition mayadversely affect engine performance or emissionssystem effectiveness.
2. Do not change the position or routing of theexhaust system components. Such a change mayaffect the amount of heat transferred to body,chassis, or powertrain components, particularly fuelsystem components. Specifically, do not add dualexhausts or reroute exhaust components to the leftside of the vehicle.
3. Do not remove or modify the existing shields. Fordunderbody heat shields are installed on vehicles toprovide heat protection for the vehicle floor andbody mounting system, and must remain in placeon the completed vehicle. (See Figure A.)
4. Exhaust heat shields should be added by a bodybuilder, and should extend far enough beyond theexhaust system components to protect underbodysurfaces from heat radiated at any angle. Addshields over the muffler and exhaust pipe kick-upareas.
5. Do not remove Ford furnished exhaust clamps andhangers.
6. An additional exhaust hanger should be installed, ifappropriate, to support extended tailpipe lengthnecessitated by body dimensions.
7. Do not make a rigid connection between theexhaust system and the body.
8. Do not apply body undercoating on the fuel tank,fuel fill hose, or fuel fill vent hoses. The extrainsulation on these components may causeexcessive heat build-up or possible materialincompatibility concerns. (See Figure B.)
9. Do not apply body undercoating within twelveinches of the are directly above the exhaust, on anycomponents within twelve inches of the exhaust, orto any part of any exhaust system. Undercoatingwill smoke or burn if subjected to high heat. (SeeFigure B.)
10. Extensions to the exhaust outlet pipe should directexhaust away from the body to minimize thepossibility of fumes entering the vehicle. Extensionsshould also protrude beyond the vertical bodysurface.
11. Install all underbody plumbing for heaters, airconditioners, and other accessories so that theyare not installed against sharp surfaces or jaggededges. Protect from exhaust heat when routing.
12. Use only stainless steel for any exhaust systemmodifications or additions.
13. Exhaust system revisions should consider thermalexpansion of materials and the affect on designclearances.
FORD BODY COMPONENTS1. Modifications to doors, roof, or body side panels
may have an affect on F/CMVSS 208, 210, 212,214, 219, and 301 compliance. Refer to theStatements of Conformity section in the IncompleteVehicle Manual for compliance representations.
2. Running boards or entry steps should use amounting system that will attach only to the body.The Ford body to frame isolators allow bodymovement which may loosen fasteners. Acombined frame and body mounting system maycause frame Noise, Vibration, and Harshness(NVH) transfer through such a mounting systeminto the body.
3. Use a butyl type sealer on trimmed body sheetmetal panels to prevent corrosion.
4. Temporary mounting pads may eliminate chippingand scratches when accessories are installed.
5. Select materials which will not have a corrosiveaction with each other.
6. Additional fresh air vents should be located so thatengine exhaust cannot be drawn into the vehicle.
7. When adding holes to the floor of the vehicle,consideration must be given to all componentsbelow the floor. The use of drill stops isrecommended.
8. Fasteners added to the floor should not point at thefuel tank or should have an appropriate shield.Components with sharp edges should have anappropriate shield to eliminate the possibility of fueltank penetration in crash situations.
9. Components added to the E-Series engine covershould allow for easy removal. Refer to theStatements of Conformity in the Incomplete VehicleManual for Occupant Protection Zone requirementsfor the engine cover and other affected areas.
10. The E-Series engine cover seal requires thatcarpeting and insulation should be installed asshown in Figure C.
11. Power operated windows, a partition, or roof panelsystems when added to a vehicle with a GVWR of4536 [10,000 lb] or less must comply with therequirements of F/CMVSS 118, refer to theStatements of Conformity in the Incomplete VehicleManual.
12. When a Second Unit Body (SUB) or rear closurepanel is attached directly to the cutaway body,difficulty may be experienced when closing doorsdue to air pressure build up. It is recommended thatvent(s) be installed which will allow “ONE WAY”pressure release from the inside of the cab to theoutside. Recommended minimum size of theventing is 36 square inches.

SUSPENSION AND STEERING SYSTEMNOTICE – VEHICLE HANDLING INFORMATION
The weight of the body structure and its center of gravitylocation (both longitudinally and vertically), as well asthe weight and positioning of the cargo load, areimportant to the handling of the completed vehicle.Subsequent stage manufactures should note thatmatching a body to a chassis in a manner appropriatefor the intended use of the vehicle is the responsibility ofthe final-stage manufacturer. Following therepresentations in this book or the IVM Manual, withrespect to center of gravity locations and body weightsfor compliance with Federal or Canada Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards, is only part of the task of producing acompleted vehicle that handles appropriately in service.
1. Front end alignment warranty policy for incompletevehicles is based upon the completed vehicleremaining within OEM weight ratings, vehicleattitude, suspension and wheel/tire guidelines, andother characteristics affecting wheel alignment.Exceeding or modifying these restrictions mayjeopardize related warranty.
2. Modifications made by subsequent stagemanufacturers, particularly those that significantlyaffect vehicle ride heights, may cause vehiclecontrol problems during excessively sharp turns orother abrupt steering maneuvers, possibly leadingto rollover or other accidents that could result indeath or serious injury.
The steering gear, intermediate shaft, coupling shaft,linkage, column, and steering wheel should not bealtered or relocated. Steering linkage travel should notbe restricted.
3. Ford front and rear GAWRs and GVWR must not beexceeded.
4. Front or rear suspension components should not bedrilled, cut, welded, or relocated for any reason.
5. Welding to the frame in the steering gear area is notrecommended.
6. If rear suspension spacers are used between thespring and axle seats to accommodate side-to-sidevariations, they should not exceed 3/8 inch. Thespacers should not exceed the profile of the axlespring seat. Additional spacing may adversely affectdriveline angles and axle system packageclearance. Also affected are spring stress limitsfrom excessive jounce travel.
7. Do not use any suspension component as awelding ground.
8. When welding or cutting near suspensioncomponents, shield and protect all springs andrubber components from heat penetration andwelding splatter.
9. Any add-on device mounted on the steeringcolumn, shroud, multifunction switch, or gearselector lever, must not affect steering columnangles, tilt mechanism (if so equipped), range ofoperation, or steering column mounting hardware.Any such device must not interfere with steeringcolumn collapse stroke travel during crashsituations or air bag deployment.
10. Vehicles equipped with an air suspension systemmust verify that the settings are correct once thevehicle is completed by the final stagemanufacturer. Refer to the applicable Ford truck
workshop service manual for the completeprocedure.
ENGINE1. Refer to the Emission Control Modifications on
Safety/Emission pages prior to makingmodifications to any engine component that couldaffect the emission certification.
2. The engine should not be operated with the hoodup or removed. This may allow excessive unforcedair to circulate that could adversely affect thecooling system.
3. Do not use manual throttle kickers4. When using electric throttle kickers on gasoline
engines, set the high idle RPM at as low as possibleto obtain the required performance. The idle speedmust be set when the engine is at normal operatingtemperature and under normal load. This RPMsetting should be affixed to the vehicle and shouldbe checked after the 2,000 mile brake-in enginetune up. This information should be provided to thepurchasers. The addition of throttle kickers mayaffect electronic transmission operation.
5. An auxiliary crankshaft bearing support is requiredon all modular gas engines before a FEAD-mounted PTO can be installed. Refer to PowerTake-Off Installations page for information.
6. Do not tap into the electrical circuits attached to theAccelerator Pedal Position Sensor (APP) on theaccelerator control. Do not bypass the electricalcircuits attached to the APP. See figure below forcomponent identification.
7. Installation of a gasoline engine speed governor ispermissible, provided the governor design iscompatible with each respective throttle body forthe individual engine application and it does notexceed specified engine maximum RPM. It mustalso meet all noise and engine emissionrequirements. Governor installations may affectelectronically controlled transmissions.

DRIVELINE
1. Bulletin Q-14, “Guidelines for Modifying TruckDrivelines,” is available on www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/. Any deviation from Ford specificationsmay adversely affect powertrain system operationincluding engine and transmission, or componentreliability. Subsequent stage manufacturers orinstallers are responsible to maintain Fordspecifications in the completion of suchmodifications.
2. Rear axle vent and hose, if installed, must not bebent, pinched, or obstructed so that normal“breathing” of the rear axle is provided.
3. On all rear axle assemblies, additional bracket barsor supports must not be welded to the axleassembly. Attachment of any equalizing-type trailerhitch or auxiliary suspension systems (springs)must not be attached to the rear axle assembly.
TRANSMISSION
1. The transmission oil filler tube and dipstick must notbe altered by bending, lengthening, or shortening,and must be readily accessible in the enginecompartment for checking lubricant level. NEVERATTACH ANY COMPONENT TO THETRANSMISSION FILLER AND DIPSTICK TUBE.
2. The installed engine angle must not be altered. Therelative position of engine and transmission to shiftlinkage must not be altered.
3. Transmission vent must not be altered, pinched, orcollapsed, and the vent opening must not berestricted or relocated.
4. Adequate tool clearance and suitable accessopenings for transmission adjustments must beprovided. Transmission removal provisions mustalso be considered.
5. Transmission oil cooler lines should not be kinked,bent, or restricted. All oil cooler lines must beproperly retained with adequate clips. The trucktype external oil cooler must not be “boxed in”,which would restrict adequate air circulation. Useonly Ford factory coolers.
Some automatic transmissions are equipped with“Stand Alone” transmissions fluid coolers. Vehiclesequipped with this new oil to air cooler (OTA) may nothave a transmission fluid cooler in the radiator. The OTAis located in front of the radiator and will requirereplacement every time the transmission is reworked orreplaced. The cooler lines and Cooler Bypass Valve(CBV) must also be cleaned and backflushed.
CAUTION:FAILURE TO REPLACE THE OTA, BACKFLUSH THECOOLER LINES AND CBV MAY RESULT INTRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY INTERNAL DAMAGE.
6. Transmission shift cable, transmission outer shiftlever, and shift cable bracket must not be alteredand must have provisions for adjusting toolclearance. A severe duty shift cable (booted) isavailable as a service part from a Ford Dealer, forSuper Duty F-Series vehicles which experienceextensive off-road use.
7. Some automatic transmissions may be equippedwith a transmission cooler bypass system. Thepurpose of the cooler bypass valve is to allow sometransmission fluid to bypass the transmission fluidcoolers and return to the transmission sump duringcold weather operation. This provides a fastertransmission fluid warm up and increased lube flowduring cold weather operation. Do not remove ormodify this system or transmission damage mayoccur. Do not use the cooler bypass line as a fittingpoint. Vehicles equipped with transmission coolerbypass will NOT have a hot water feed circuit fromthe water pump to the radiator tank containing thetransmission cooler.
CAUTION:DO NOT USE THE COOLER BYPASS VALVE (CBV)AS A HANDLE. DAMAGE TO THE CBV ANDTRANSMISSION MAY RESULT. THIS ALSO CAUSESLEAKS.
8. Transmission service identification tags must not beremoved or destroyed. If the transmission isreworked or replaced, the tag should be attached tonew transmission.
9. Electronically controlled automatic transmissionwire harness routing location, wire harness locatingclips, all heat shielding, and clearance to theexhaust must be maintained as installed from theassembly plant.
10. The manual transmission filler plug should not beobstructed, preventing easy checking of lube levelor filling.
11. Body structures should not be less than 1.00 inchfrom the rectangular vent holes on the top surfaceof the manual transmission housing.
12. Bulletin Q-14 and Q-18 contain additional detailedinformation on modifications which may affecttransmissions. To obtain a copy, log on towww.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/ and select from thelist of bulletins.
FRAME1. Holes that would weaken the frame sidemember
should not be drilled in the frame. Holes are not tobe 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 webwith the following restrictions:
• Material between edge of hole and inside ofupper or lower flange must not be less than1.50 inch for low carbon steel (36,000 PSI yield).
• The minimum edge distance between any twoholes up to 0.625 inch diameter must be 1.00inch. For larger than 0.625 inch diameter holes,the minimum edge distance must be 1.5 timesthe diameter of the largest hole.
• 0.75 inch is maximum hole diameter.
• Avoid close vertical succession of fasteners.
• All attaching fasteners, including flat washers,must be of high strength steel (Grade 8).
3. When welding is performed anywhere on the vehi-cle, precautionary measures should be taken toprevent damage to electrical system wiring or com-ponents. Prior to welding, any parts which could bedamaged by excessive temperatures should beremoved or adequately shielded. Also, prior towelding, disconnect both batteries, and the PCM.The welding ground clamp should be positioned asclose to the affected welding area as possible.Computer processors should be removed if weldingis to be done within their close proximity. Weldingcables should never be allowed to lay on, near, oracross any electrical wiring or electronic componentduring welding. After welding, when parts are cool,carefully inspect wiring and electrical componentsfor shorts or other damage which could draw exces-sive currents and possibly cause an electrical sys-tem short when the battery is reconnected.
4. Do not weld on frame flanges, including the bendradii.
5. When welding low carbon steel side rails (36,000PSI yield strength), emphasis should be placedupon weld application techniques to avoid stressrisers that may adversely affect frame operatingstresses. When welding within 4 inches of anycrossmember or suspension rivets, remove therivets and replace with Grade 8 bolts and nuts.
6. Do not modify or alter the convoluted framesections in the area behind the front bumper.Modifications or alterations could have an adverseeffect on vehicle performance in a crash situation.
7. Wheelbase alteration and frame extensionguidelines for E-Series Super Duty Cutaway areavailable in Bulletin Q-18 and for F-650/750 & LCFin Bulletin Q-140. Log on to www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/ and select from the list of bulletins. Anydeviation from the original vehicle specification willbecome the responsibility of the subsequent stagemanufacturer or installer. This may affecttransmission operation and durability.
8. Recommend the use of OEM front tow hooks only.See Ford Towing Manual FCS-12141-00 for towinginstructions.
9. To prevent collapse of the frame side rail flanges,when U-bolts are used for the attachment of bodiesto the truck chassis, vertical spacer bars must beused between the upper and lower flanges at eachU-bolt.
10. All E-Series Super Duty Cutaways or StrippedChassis with a 176-inch WB and equipped with a55-gallon fuel tank will require an 18-inch minimumframe extension to provide for an adequatedeparture angle fuel tank clearance.

AMBULANCE BUILDER GUIDELINES
INFORMATION
Ford urges careful consideration of therecommendations that follow. They are based onanalyses of component and vehicle tests, actual servicesituations, and engineering judgments. Disregard ofthese recommendations may affect the durability,reliability, handling and performance characteristics of acompleted vehicle and may elevate underbodytemperatures and increase the potential for fire, or mayaffect the safety of the occupants in the event of anaccident.
These recommendations are supplemental to U.S. andCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety compliancerepresentations provided in the Incomplete VehicleManual. Additional information is also provided in thisbook and Ford Truck Shop Manual which may be helpfulto subsequent stage manufacturers.
Subsequent stage manufacturers are encouraged tocontact the Ford Truck Body Builder Advisory Service ifthey have any questions concerning theserecommendations.
GUIDELINES
1. All Exhaust System and Underbody Heat Managementstatements System and Underbody Heat Managementstatements in the SECOND UNIT BODY MOUNTINGand DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS sections apply tocompleted ambulance type vehicles.
2. Data concerning the effect of hood louvers isinconclusive. If a body builder chooses to addthem, the opening should be directed rearward toavoid recirculating discharged hot air through theradiator.
NOTE: The vehicle interior vent air enters thepassenger compartment at the base of thewindshield. Louvers may direct heated air orfumes toward this opening. Removal of theunderhood insulation may affect Exterior Noisecompliance. See the Exterior Noise informationon Safety/Emissions.
3. To deal with higher electrical loads, Ford vehicleswith the Ambulance Prep Package are equippedwith dual alternators, dual batteries and heavy dutywiring to handle higher electrical loads. Addedwiring should be of sufficient capacity to handle thehigher current. The alternator should not bemodified, altered or replaced.
4. Added Second Unit Body vents, especiallypowered vents, should be located away from thefuel filler, fuel venting areas and exhaust to avoidfuel fumes and vapors entering the interior of thevehicle.
5. Equipment such as flashing lights and sirens, sparetire, or any other accessories should not beinstalled in the grille area forward of the radiator orair cleaner air inlet. Doing so restricts proper airflowthrough the radiator and engine compartment.Lights, speakers, or sirens should not be mountedin the center area of the grille. Equipment should bemounted as far outboard as possible, not to exceed90 square inches each or 180 square inchescombined in area.
6. An ambulance is not to be used as a tow vehicle.
A FORD VEHICLE IS SUITABLE FOR MANUFACTUREINTO AN AMBULANCE ONLY IF EQUIPPED WITH AFORD AMBULANCE PREPARATION PACKAGE. FORDURGES AMBULANCE MANUFACTURERS TOFOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATIONS FURNISHED INTHE INCOMPLETE VEHICLE MANUAL (AND ANYPERTINENT SUPPLEMENTS) AND THE QUALIFIEDVEHICLE MODIFIER (QVM) GUIDELINES.
USING A FORD VEHICLE WITHOUT THE FORDAMBULANCE PREPARATION PACKAGE TOPRODUCE AN AMBULANCE VOIDS THE FORDWARRANTY AND COULD RESULT IN ELEVATEDUNDERBODY TEMPERATURES, FUEL OVER-PRESSURIZATION AND THE RISK OF FUELEXPULSION AND FIRES.
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH FORD AMBULANCEPREPARATION PACKAGES HAVE LABELS LOCATEDON (THE INSIDE) DRIVER DOOR LOCK PILLAR THATSTATE THAT THE VEHICLE IS SO EQUIPPED.
