I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2014 Ford F-250 Diesel. It did state under the "Using Snow Chains" section that only SAE Class S chains should be used. It did also say that chains should not be used on vehicles with 20 inch wheels and tires.

There are a couple common tire sizes for your 2014 Ford F-250.
If you have 245/75-17 size tires I recommend the Titan Chain Alloy Snow Tire Chains # TC2321.
If you have 275/65-18 size tires I recommend going with the Titan # TC2327. These are both sturdy, square-link diamond-pattern tire chains that are SAE Class S rated with a 0.145 inch (3.7mm) link thickness. They allow for quick and simple installation with integrated tensioners to let you easily adjust the fit.

I have attached a short video demonstration that you can also check out. If you have a different tire size please let me know and I will be happy to make another recommendation.
