1985 Ford LNT9000 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1985 Ford LNT9000 has six diesel engines and three body styles to cover, in Base trim. The engines are the turbocharged 10.0L (611 cu in), 14.6L (893 cu in) and 14.0L (855 cu in) inline-sixes, a turbocharged 14.8L V8 (903 cu in), the 9.0L V6 (552 cu in) and the 7.0L inline-six (426 cu in). The bodies are a short-conventional tractor truck, a low-tilt straight truck and a short-conventional straight truck. The 14.8L V8 is the largest engine listed, and the manual's specifications, torque values and diagnostics treat it separately from the turbocharged sixes.

Known issues on the 1985 LNT9000. Only one recall stands against the 1985 LNT9000, and it concerns labeling rather than hardware. The hand throttle controls were not identified on the control knob or the instrument panel as the federal controls-and-displays standard requires, and the fix was to affix the word throttle on or next to the control. Owners have filed one complaint with NHTSA, and it concerns latches, locks and linkages. The manual's procedures and specifications for the throttle controls, instrument panel and cab latches and linkages cover those areas.
HAND THROTTLE CONTROLS WERE NOT IDENTIFIED EITHER ON THE CONTROL KNOB OR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS REQUIRED BY FMVSS 101.
