Known issues on the 1983 C60. Nothing is recorded against this truck federally: no recall campaigns and no owner complaints for the 1983 C60. The manual therefore stands on its own as the reference for the work. It covers the six engines individually, with fuel and ignition specifications for the gasoline units and fuel system and cooling procedures for the turbocharged inline-six diesel and the two diesel V8s, and it covers the cab and chassis and the tractor together where they share axles, brakes, steering and electrical circuits.
