1997 Ford L9501 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 Ford L9501 covers a short-conventional truck built as either a tractor or a straight truck, with Base as the lone trim. Five diesels are documented: the 10.5L six-cylinder (638 cu in), the turbocharged 12.0L six-cylinder (732 cu in), and turbocharged inline-sixes at 10.8L (661 cu in), 14.0L (855 cu in) and 10.3L (629 cu in). The manual's procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics account for each of those five and for both chassis layouts.
