or for sale or use in Canada are subject to the Canadian
“Regulations for the Control of Interference to Radio Reception”
per Interference-Causing Equipment Standard (ICES-002)
and applicable test method according to “CAN/CSA-C108.4­M92”. Violation of these regulations is punishable by fine
or imprisonment. This Ford-built incomplete vehicle 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 Motor Company has no control over
how this incomplete vehicle is completed by subsequent stage
manufacturers, Ford Motor Company does not represent that
the completed vehicle incorporating the Ford-built components
will comply with applicable requirements.

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.

For any completed vehicle, additional measures may be
needed to adequately suppress RFI emissions. Affected
components could include spark plugs, ignition wires, ignition
coils, 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 Motor Company.

• Shields on ignition coils must remain installed.

• Replacement spark plugs, ignition wires, and ignition coils
must be equivalent in their RFI suppression properties to
original equipment.

• Electrical grounds on all components must be retained.

• 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.

• Only “static conductive” accessory drive belts should be used.

CANADIAN VEHICLES

EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION

CAUTION:

U.S.:

2006 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 “PO L I CY ON CRO S S BORDER SA L ES OF
CALIFORNIA VEHICLES.”

CANADA:

IF THE CO MPL ETED VE HICLE IS INTENDED FOR
SALE OR USE IN CANADA, THE INTERMEDIATE OR
FINAL STAGE MANUFACTURER MUST INSURE THAT
THE INCOMPLETE VEHICLE IS ORDERED THROUGH
A CANADIAN DEALER OR IS ORDERED FROM FORD
MOTOR COMPANY WITH THE APPROPRIATE CANADIAN
MARKET OPTION CODE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN AN INCOMPLETE VEHICLE THAT IS BUILT
WITH AN EMISSIONS SYSTEM AND LABELING THAT ARE
NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF
THE CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT.

FRONTAL AREA AND WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS:

Starting in 2005, some heavy-duty incomplete vehicles are
certified using chassis certification protocol and will require
vehicle weight and frontal area restrictions (to retain emission
certification). If your vehicle is affected, the frontal area and
unloaded vehicle weight information will be found on the VECI
label, which is located in the engine compartment. Incomplete
vehicles with engines certified using heavy-duty engine
protocol are not limited by weight and frontal area restrictions
for exhaust emissions.

It is important 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.

HIGH ALTITUDE REQUIREMENTS

United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations
for the 2006 model year do not contain unique emission
certification requirements for trucks that will be sold or delivered
to customers for principal use above 1,219 m [4,000 ft.].

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.

Fur ther, 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 obt ained from the United St ates
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.

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.

EXTERIOR NOISE

New vehicles which have a gross vehicle weight rating in
excess of 4536 kg [10,000 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).

IMPORTANT:

For purposes of Government Regulation, a body builder,
installer, or any subsequent manufacturer may be considered
a manufacturer.

EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION

26 F-SERIES (March, 2005)

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.
Federal Law also prohibits the use of such vehicle after such
device or element of design has been removed or rendered
inoperative by any person.

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.

• 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.

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.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS

All 2006 Federal light and heavy duty trucks and all California
vehicles with gasoline engines are required to comp ly
with evaporative emissions requirements established by
the Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air
Resources Board. Production fuel systems supplied on
incomplete 2006 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. Refer to the Design Recommendation section of

the Ford Truck Body Builders Layout Book, for additional Fuel
System Evaporative Emissions information.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (MIL)

The “Malfunction Indicator Light” is used to indicate malfunctions
of the Electronic Engine Control System and certain emissions­related components. For all incomplete vehicles, except Basic
(Stripped) Chassis (which is not equipped with an instrument
panel), it is Ford installed and operational.

POWER TAKE-OFF CIRCUIT

A wire located under the instrument panel labeled “Power Take­Off Circuit” is provided to minimize the inadvertent illumination
of the “Service Engine Soon” while the PTO is engaged. Refer
to the Design Recommendation section of the Ford Truck
Body Builders Layout Book, for Power Take-off Installations
information that will locate the Ford provided circuit. Connect
the wire to the Power Take-Off Circuit as instructed and isolate
the wire labeled “Power Take-Off Circuit” from the solenoid to
prevent damage to the Power Control Module (PCM).

OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCE (ODS)

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.”

Ford Motor Company has eliminated Class I ODS from its
manufacturing processes. All 2006 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 Motor Company 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 the vehicle.

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.

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 22 and 23 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” (Figure A on page 22
illustrates a typical 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
3/16 inch diameter rivets.

27F-SERIES (March, 2005)

EMISSION CERTIFICATION INFORMATION

CALIFORNIA MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL
LABEL

To meet Califor nia 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 6350 kg [14,000 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.

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.

• All incomplete vehicles except Basic (Stripped) Chassis type
vehicles will conform to this standard.

For the Vehicle Emission Control (VEC) and VIN labels,
sufficient clearance shall be provided to use a non-contact bar­code Reading Wand. For the tune-up label and vacuum hose
routing diagram label, the label and any adhesives used shall
be designed to withstand typical vehicle environment conditions
in the area where the label is attached for the vehicle’s total
expected life. 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.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)

The ignition system on your vehicle has been designed to
be capable of compliance with RFI requirements established
by the Canadian government. However, because Ford Motor
Company has no control over how an incomplete vehicle is
completed by subsequent stage manufacturers, Ford Motor
Company 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 Motor Company trucks built with an ignition system
use the same or equivalent components 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.

Additional RFI information is contained on page 25 of this
manual.

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.)

Because Ford Motor Company has no control over the
operation or manufacture of such systems or their installation,
Ford Motor Company cannot assume responsibility for any
adverse effects or damage if this equipment is used.
