This factory service and repair manual for the 1984 Ford LN600 covers the short-conventional straight truck, offered in a single Base trim, with a choice of two naturally aspirated V8s: a 6.1L (370 cu in) set up for gasoline or propane, and an 8.2L diesel (501 cu in). The manual's procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics address each engine on its own, with the propane fuel system on the 6.1L covered alongside its gasoline arrangement.

Known issues on the 1984 LN600. Two engines are listed for the LN600, and they could hardly be less alike: a 6.1L V8 running gasoline or propane, and a naturally aspirated 8.2L diesel V8. That split runs right through the manual, because fuel delivery, ignition or injection, and cold-start work differ completely between them, even though the short-conventional straight-truck chassis underneath is shared. Neither a recall nor an owner complaint appears against this year at NHTSA.
