Engine Options:
The 2001 F-350 Super Duty was available with several robust engine options, including the 5.4L Triton V8 (gasoline), 6.8L Triton V10 (gasoline), and the highly regarded 7.3L Power Stroke Turbodiesel V8 (diesel).
7.3L Power Stroke Torque:
Typically produced around 500-520 lb-ft of torque, depending on the specific configuration and tune.
6.8L Triton V10 Horsepower:
Approximately 310 horsepower.
7.3L Power Stroke Fuel System:
Direct injection, HEUI (Hydraulically Actuated Electronically Controlled Unit Injector) system.
Gasoline Fuel System:
Multi-port electronic fuel injection (EFI).
Standard Transmission:
The 2001 F-350 could be equipped with either a 6-speed manual transmission (e.g., ZF S6-650) or a 4-speed automatic transmission (e.g., TorqShift 4R100).
Optional Transmission:
The 4-speed automatic transmission was often the more commonly optioned choice, especially with the diesel engine.
Automatic Transmission Features:
The TorqShift automatic featured electronic control for smoother shifts and improved towing performance.
Wheelbase Options:
Available in multiple wheelbase configurations (e.g., 137-inch, 158-inch, 172-inch) to accommodate different bed lengths and cab styles.
Gvwr Range:
Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings typically ranged from 9,900 lbs to 13,500 lbs, depending on the specific configuration and axle ratios.
Curb Weight Range:
Curb weights varied significantly based on cab configuration, engine, and drivetrain, generally starting around 6,000 lbs.
NHTSA Ratings:
As a heavy-duty truck from this era, specific NHTSA crash test ratings might not be as readily available or comparable to modern passenger vehicles. Focus was on structural integrity for towing and load carrying.
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was standard on all models.
Airbags:
Driver and passenger front airbags were standard.
Seatbelts:
Three-point front seat belts and typically lap belts for rear passengers.
Audio System:
Factory options included AM/FM radio with cassette and/or CD player, with varying speaker configurations.
Cruise Control:
Electronic cruise control was a common option.
Trailer Lighting Connector:
Standard wiring provisions for trailer brake controllers and trailer lighting.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000 miles for gasoline engines and 10,000 miles for the 7.3L Power Stroke diesel, or as recommended by the specific oil type and driving conditions.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Recommended every 30,000-50,000 miles for automatic transmissions, or more frequently under severe use; manual transmissions have longer intervals or are often sealed for life, but checking is crucial.
Engine Oil Gasoline:
API Service SG, SH, SJ, or higher. Viscosity grades typically 5W-30 or 10W-30 depending on ambient temperature.
Engine Oil Diesel:
API Service CF-4, CG-4, or CH-4 for the 7.3L Power Stroke. Viscosity grade typically 15W-40 or 10W-30 for colder climates.
Automatic Transmission Fluid:
Mercon V is the specified fluid for the 4R100 TorqShift transmission.
Coolant:
Ford Premium Engine Coolant (Green) or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A (for non-diesel) or specific diesel coolant if applicable.
7.3L Power Stroke Injectors:
While generally robust, the HEUI injectors can be susceptible to wear and failure over time, often indicated by rough running or power loss.
4R100 Transmission:
Can develop issues with the torque converter clutch solenoid or planetary gear sets with high mileage or heavy towing without proper fluid maintenance.
Front Suspension Components:
Ball joints, tie rod ends, and unit bearing hubs are wear items on heavy trucks and may require replacement due to mileage and load.
Fuel Tank Strap Corrosion:
In certain climates, fuel tank straps can corrode and require replacement.
Ford Truck Legacy:
Ford has a long-standing reputation for building durable and capable trucks, with the F-Series being the best-selling vehicle line in the United States for many years.
