This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 Ford LTLA9000 closes out the long conventional tractor with a five-engine diesel lineup and one Base trim. Every engine on the list is turbocharged: the 10.8L, 14.0L and 14.6L inline-sixes, plus the 11.1L and 12.7L inline-sixes that run aftercooled as well. With no naturally aspirated option among them, the specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics all deal with forced-induction diesels and the charge-air hardware that comes with them.
