2010 Ford F-450 Super Duty Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2010 Ford F-450 Super Duty reaches a trim list six deep: Base, Harley-Davidson Edition, King Ranch, Lariat, XL and XLT. The mechanical side is simpler, with the turbocharged 6.4L V8 diesel and the 6.8L V10 gasoline engine in four bodies, three chassis cabs and the four-door crew cab pickup. Trim level has little bearing on service work, which is why the torque values, specifications, wiring diagrams and diagnostics here are arranged by system instead.

Known issues on the 2010 F-450 Super Duty. Three recalls are on federal record for this year, and each traces to the same part: a power take-off pressure switch fitted by an upfitter that can leak oil onto the thermal blanket covering the exhaust, where exhaust heat may set it alight. None of the three is against the truck as Ford built it. Just one owner complaint appears in the NHTSA record, and it concerns the tires. With the federal record that quiet, the ordinary work of this manual is the exhaust, chassis and wheel-end procedures for the two engines and four bodies above.
