This factory service and repair manual for the 1998 Ford A9513 covers eight diesel engines in the medium conventional tractor truck, which was sold in one Base trim. The 10.5L six-cylinder diesel heads the list, followed by the turbocharged 12.0L six-cylinder, the turbocharged 10.3L, 10.8L, 14.0L and 14.6L inline-sixes and the turbocharged, aftercooled 11.1L and 12.7L inline-sixes. Each engine gets its own procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics, so a shop working on a mixed fleet can look up the correct figures for the exact engine in front of it.
