1999 Ford E-450 Econoline Super Duty Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1999 Ford E-450 Econoline Super Duty covers an incomplete chassis sold in a single trim, Base Stripped, with two engines: the 6.8L SOHC V10 on gasoline and the 7.3L OHV turbocharged diesel V8. As a stripped chassis it left Ford without a body, so the manual's procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are concentrated on what Ford supplied, the two engines, the transmission, the rear axle, brakes, steering, frame and chassis harness, which is what a body builder or fleet shop needs to work from.

Known issues on the 1999 E-450 Econoline Super Duty. Two recalls are on federal record for the 1999 model year, both involving speed control. In one, the deactivation switch on trucks with gasoline or natural gas engines may overheat and cause smoke or an underhood fire; the other is a broad Ford campaign on the same system, where a vehicle fire could occur with or without the engine running. Owners have lodged 80 complaints with NHTSA, clustered heavily on tires, then the service brakes and the power train. Brake and driveline procedures, specifications and torque values, plus the speed control wiring diagrams and diagnostics, are the relevant sections.
