Known issues on the 1985 D150. Owners filed 2 complaints with NHTSA about this truck, and between them they touch seat belts, structure and suspension, 1 apiece. That spread points at the chassis and the occupant restraints rather than at the engine bay. The manual pairs those areas with suspension specifications and torque values, body and structure procedures, and wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the electrical system of the cab.
