This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Ford LS8000 covers one engine, the 10.4L V8 diesel (636 cu in), in one body style, a medium-conventional straight truck, in Base trim. The single combination means the manual's specifications and torque values are those of the 636 cu in V8 and nothing else, and its procedures, wiring diagrams and diagnostics describe the medium-conventional straight-truck chassis alone. For a technician that removes the usual first step of confirming which engine and cab the truck carries.
