1999 Ford F-550 Super Duty Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1999 Ford F-550 Super Duty covers a chassis cab offered in two body styles, the four-door crew cab chassis and the two-door conventional chassis, with a choice of two engines: the 6.8L SOHC V10, a naturally aspirated 415 cubic inch gasoline engine, and the turbocharged 7.3L OHV V8 diesel of 445 cubic inches. Three trims are listed, XL, XLT and Lariat, and the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are organized so the gasoline and diesel drivelines can be followed separately while the shared chassis and wheel ends are covered once.

Known issues on the 1999 F-550 Super Duty. Eight recalls are on federal record for the 1999 F-550.
