This factory service and repair manual for the 1986 Ford F-600 covers five engines on the medium conventional straight truck's list: the turbocharged 6.6L inline-six diesel of 401 cubic inches joins the 6.1L V8 (370 cubic inches, gasoline or LPG propane), the 7.0L OHV V8 (429 cubic inches, propane or gasoline) and the two 8.2L V8 diesels of 501 cubic inches, turbocharged and naturally aspirated. The truck comes in Base trim only, and the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are organized by engine so a V8 diesel and an inline-six diesel are never confused.
