This factory service and repair manual for the 2006 Ford Econoline covers the Base trim of the three-door standard cargo van, powered by either the 4.6L or the 5.4L V8, each a single-overhead-cam, naturally aspirated gasoline engine. The two V8s are treated separately for procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics, while one body and one trim mean the transmission, driveline, brake, suspension, steering, body and electrical coverage applies to the whole model year without variant lookups.

Known issues on the 2006 Econoline. Federal records list two recalls for the 2006 Econoline, both from Sunset Vans for vehicles built on Econoline chassis and fitted with Ricon platform-style wheelchair lifts, so they concern the conversion rather than the base van. Owner complaints logged with NHTSA for this year: none. The manual's scope is the van as Ford delivered it, with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the 4.6L and 5.4L V8s, the transmission, driveline, brakes, suspension, steering, body and electrical system.
