Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating
temperature. Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute. The
transmission and tires may be damaged or the engine may
overheat.

Refer to Transmission temperature gauge in the Instrument Cluster
chapter for transmission fluid temperature information.

Do not spin the wheels at over 35 mph (55 km/h). The tires may
fail and injure a passenger or bystander.

Removing the snowplow frame mount

A metal crossmember is included below the front bumper on Super Duty
vehicles called a

ЉBlockerBeamЉ. Typical snowplow installations require

removal of this BlockerBeam to install the snowplow mounting hardware
to the vehicle frame.

The BlockerBeam must be re-installed if the snowplow
frame-mounting hardware is removed from the vehicle to assure
proper air bag deployment in a crash.
