1997 Ford LT9513 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 Ford LT9513 covers nine diesel engines, the most of any truck here. The medium-conventional tractor truck and straight truck, in Base trim, could be fitted with the 10.5L six-cylinder (638 cu in), the turbocharged 12.0L six-cylinder (732 cu in), the turbocharged 10.8L, 14.0L and 14.6L inline-sixes (661, 855 and 893 cu in), the 10.3L six-cylinder (629 cu in), the turbocharged 10.3L inline-six (629 cu in) or the turbocharged, aftercooled 11.1L (677 cu in) and 12.7L (774 cu in) inline-sixes. Nine engines make identification the first step before the manual's procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams or diagnostics apply.

Known issues on the 1997 LT9513. NHTSA lists no recalls and no owner complaints for the 1997 LT9513, so the federal record is clean.
