1982 Ford F-150 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1982 Ford F-150 covers a half-ton pickup built in two-door standard cab and extended cab form, with three overhead-valve gasoline engines behind the grille: the 5.8L V8, the 5.0L V8 and the 4.9L inline-six. Four trims are listed, running from the plain Custom through XL and XLS to the XLT Lariat. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are arranged by system, so a job on a Custom work truck reads the same way as the same job on a loaded Lariat.
