2001 Ford F-650 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2001 Ford F-650 is written for the Base trim medium duty straight truck in its two-door long conventional, four-door extended cab and four-door crew cab forms, with three turbocharged diesels: the 5.9L inline-six (359 cubic inches), the 7.2L inline-six (441 cubic inches) and the 7.3L V8 (444 cubic inches). Because two of the engines are inline-sixes and the third a V8, the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are organized by engine, with the air brake system and power train of the shared chassis covered for all three cabs.

Known issues on the 2001 F-650. Three recalls are on federal record for the 2001 F-650: unwanted low-speed ABS activation on trucks with Bendix air ABS, caused by chafed wheel speed sensor wires or damaged wheel end parts and lengthening braking distances; air brake lines to the tractor protection valve that were misrouted on trucks with the trailer package, cutting trailer brake effectiveness after a leak; and a wiper motor gear case switch that can overheat and disable the wipers. Owners have logged 10 complaints with NHTSA, six on the power train and two on the service brakes. The manual's power train procedures and air brake diagnostics cover those areas.
