Performance Horsepower Torque Variations: Highly variable based on specific engine and chassis configuration (e.g., GCCCWR). Fuel System Fuel Types: Diesel (common), Gasoline Maintenance Details Engine Oil Capacity: Varies by engine (e.g., 15-16 quarts for 6.0L Power Stroke). Coolant Capacity: Varies by engine and radiator size. 🔧 Transmission Standard Transmission Types: Manual transmissions (e.g., Ford, Spicer, Eaton Fuller) and Automatic transmissions (e.g., Allison 1000/2000 series, Ford variants). Optional Transmission Options: Multiple gear ratios and configurations available depending on application and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). Features Transmission Fluid Type: Varies significantly by transmission manufacturer and model (e.g., MERCON LV, DEXRON-VI for automatics; manual transmission fluids for manuals). 📐 Dimensions Exterior Cab Configurations: Standard Cab, Crew Cab (less common for LCF). Weights Gvwr Range: Typically from Class 3 (10,001-14,000 lbs) up to Class 7 (26,001-36,000 lbs) depending on specific model and configuration. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Test Data: Likely subject to commercial vehicle safety standards; specific NHTSA ratings may not be directly comparable to passenger vehicles. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic disc brakes front/rear, available ABS. Air brake systems may be an option on heavier configurations. Passive Features Restraint Systems: Seat belts, available airbags (driver and passenger). 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Audio System: Basic AM/FM/CD audio systems were common. Navigation and more advanced infotainment were less prevalent on base commercial models. Driver Assistance ABS: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was typically standard or optional depending on GVWR and configuration. Connectivity Diagnostics: OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics) port for engine and system diagnostics. The manual would detail diagnostic tool usage and data interpretation. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically 5,000-10,000 miles or 6-12 months, depending on engine type, oil specification, and operating conditions (refer to specific manual for precise intervals). Transmission Fluid Interval: Varies by transmission type, but generally 30,000-60,000 miles for automatics, potentially longer for manuals with proper maintenance. Fuel Filter Interval: Crucial for diesel engines, typically 15,000-30,000 miles, depending on fuel quality and operating environment. Fluid Specifications Engine Coolant: Premium Gold Coolant (Ford Specification WSS-M97B51-A1) or equivalent for Power Stroke diesel engines. Brake Fluid: DOT 3 or DOT 4 (verify specific application). Known Issues Diesel Engines 6.0L: Known issues can include EGR cooler failures, oil cooler failures, head gasket issues, and injector problems. The manual would detail diagnostic and repair procedures for these. Turbocharger System: Potential for turbocharger issues (sticking vanes, leaks) on diesel models,...
