Introduction Engine cooling system The cooling system contains an engine oil cooler which is mounted in the center valley of the engine. The cooler's function is to regulate engine oil temperature. Engine governed speed The engine governor is controlled by the PCM. The PCM controls fuel input to limit maximum engine speed. It will not, however, prevent engine overspeeding resulting from downshifting at high vehicle speed or by descending steep grades at too high a vehicle speed for the selected transmission gear. On F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, refer to Manual transmission shift speeds in the Driving section of your Owner's Guide for maximum vehicle speed in various gears. Do not exceed 3,600 rpm. Maximum engine governed speed is 4,000 rpm depending on engine load. Excessive rpm can only be achieved by manually downshifting at too high of a vehicle speed. Operating the engine beyond the governed speed can cause severe engine damage. 5

Engine cooling system
The cooling system contains an engine oil cooler which is mounted in the
center valley of the engine. The cooler
s function is to regulate engine oil
temperature.
Engine governed speed
The engine governor is controlled by the PCM. The PCM controls fuel
input to limit maximum engine speed. It will not, however, prevent
engine overspeeding resulting from downshifting at high vehicle speed or
by descending steep grades at too high a vehicle speed for the selected
transmission gear.
On F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a manual transmission,
refer to
Manual transmission shift speeds
in the
Driving
section of
your
Owner
s Guide
for maximum vehicle speed in various gears. Do not
exceed 3,600 rpm. Maximum engine governed speed is 4,000 rpm
depending on engine load. Excessive rpm can only be achieved by
manually downshifting at too high of a vehicle speed.
Operating the engine beyond the governed speed can cause
severe engine damage.
