2000 Ford F-550 Super Duty Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2000 Ford F-550 Super Duty is written for the crew cab and conventional two-door chassis cab versions of the truck, each available with either the naturally aspirated 6.8L V10 gasoline engine, a 415 cubic inch SOHC design, or the 445 cubic inch 7.3L OHV V8 turbo diesel. The trim list runs to three, XL, XLT and Lariat. Because the two engines differ so much in their fuel, ignition and induction systems, the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics keep the V10 and the diesel apart wherever their hardware differs.
