1985 Ford LNT8000 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1985 Ford LNT8000 covers the 10.4L V8 diesel (636 cu in) in two short-conventional body styles, a tractor truck and a straight truck, both in Base trim. The engine is the same in either chassis, so the specifications and torque values for the V8 carry over unchanged, and the difference between the two versions shows up in the chassis procedures and the wiring diagrams rather than in the engine specifications. One engine, two bodies and one trim keep the scope tight.
