1998 Ford F-350 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1998 Ford F-350 covers a much narrower listing than the years around it: one engine, the 5.0L overhead-valve gasoline V8, one body, the two-door standard cab pickup, and two trims, XL and XLT. That narrow spread lets the sections read straight through, from engine mechanical, fuel and ignition to driveline, brakes, steering, suspension, body and wiring, each with the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics that belong to it.

Engines covered

• 5.0L V8 (302 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 2-door standard cab pickup

Trims covered

• XL
• XLT

Known issues on the 1998 F-350. One recall is on federal record, covering a speed control deactivation switch that could overheat and then smoke or burn, with an underhood fire the stated concern. Owners have filed 12 complaints with NHTSA, the largest group about tires and single entries on the fuel system and the wheels. That points at cruise control wiring under the hood and at wheel and tire service, and the manual's wiring diagrams, torque values and specifications cover both.
