2001 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2001 Ford E-150 Econoline Club Wagon covers the two-door standard passenger van as a Chateau, an XL or an XLT. Three naturally aspirated gasoline engines sit behind those trims: a 4.2L overhead-valve V6 of 256 cubic inches, a 4.6L overhead-cam V8 of 281 and a 5.4L overhead-cam V8 of 330. Because the chassis is shared across all three, the manual groups procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics by system rather than by engine.
