This factory service and repair manual for the 2005 Ford Econoline is specific to the three-door standard cargo van in Base trim and its two engine options, the 4.6L V8 and the 5.4L V8, both with single overhead cams, naturally aspirated and gasoline-fueled. Engine-specific procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics cover both V8s, and the shared body brings the transmission, driveline, brakes, suspension, steering, body and electrical system under one set of instructions.

Known issues on the 2005 Econoline. Two recalls are on federal record for the 2005 Econoline, and both were issued by Sunset Vans rather than Ford, covering vans built on the Econoline chassis and equipped with Ricon platform-style wheelchair lifts. NHTSA lists no owner complaints for this model year. Because the recalls concern conversion equipment, the manual's own coverage stays with the vehicle as Ford built it: procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the 4.6L and 5.4L V8s, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, body and electrical system.
