This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 Ford F-800 LPO is built around the 5.9L turbocharged inline-six diesel, the only engine listed, in the medium conventional straight truck, the only body style, with Base as the only trim. Single-engine coverage means the diesel's procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are presented without the alternate-engine footnotes a multi-engine truck needs, and the chassis sections describe the straight truck as built rather than a family of configurations.
