2006 Ford F-550 Super Duty Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2006 Ford F-550 Super Duty is for a chassis cab offered as a four-door crew cab, a two-door conventional cab or a four-door extended cab, in Base, XL, XLT and Lariat trims, with two engines: the turbocharged 6.0L OHV V8 diesel of 363 cubic inches and the naturally aspirated 6.8L SOHC V10 gasoline engine of 415 cubic inches. The fuel system is the theme of this year's owner record, and the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for both engines give it the attention it needs alongside the rest of the truck.

Known issues on the 2006 F-550 Super Duty. Two recalls are on federal record for the 2006 model year: replacement tail lamps supplied as service parts that may not work, and an aftermarket seven-way trailer wiring adaptor whose incorrect wiring can leave trailer lights inoperative. Owners have logged 44 complaints with NHTSA, and the fuel system accounts for 32 of them, followed by the engine and engine cooling with five and the engine with two. That concentration makes the fuel system the first place to look, and the manual's fuel procedures, specifications and diagnostics for the 6.0L diesel and 6.8L V10, plus its lighting wiring diagrams, cover those areas.
