1987 Ford L8000 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Ford L8000 is written around the 10.4L V8 diesel (636 cu in) as fitted to the medium-conventional tractor truck and the medium-conventional straight truck, the two body styles listed for the year, each in Base trim. Procedures, specifications and torque values for the diesel V8 are common to both trucks, and the wiring diagrams and diagnostics cover the pair of chassis layouts. With no alternative engine and a single trim, the manual gives a technician one set of engine figures and one set of chassis references to work from.
