bible?

[fuzzydog]

Is there a bible for these rigs - ie a non-factory repair manual - haynes/clymer et al? or is factory the only game in town?

 

[tonkadoctor]

Yes, there is a Haynes manual for them. For the diesel engine you will also need the Haynes Ford GM diesel engine manual too. Advance Auto Parts usually carries both of them in stock too.

theres an engine building techbook from haynes that has a lot of diesel engines in it...6.9, 7.3 idi and power stroke, cummins and duramax.

there is a chilton manual that has the truck itself. look for the year of yours and make sure it says gas and diesel on the cover

Hey. Another fellow BC'er.
Lordco or Crappy Tire will have/or be able
to get the Haynes manuals for you. 'bout $20

look here for 93-94 idi turbo, most stuff will work towards 6.9'shttp://www.forddoctorsdts.com/articles/article-06-08.php

Go to any International truck or tractor supply and ask for Engine Service Manual CGES-435-1... It will answer every question and them some for about $40.00. You can buy any year you need and they even offer one for the Stanadyne Model DB-2 fuel injection pump... Its CGES-475.... The CGES-470 is the 7.3 ltr solid state glow plug troubleshooting guide.... They can't be beat....

I thought this site was "the Bible" Gues I better get to a book store-been getting the wrong info for years.

The Haynes manual that has GM and Ford diesels sucks. It has more info on the GM than the Ford. Doesn't even mention the oil cooler. Doesn't really tell you much other than specs. Wasn't worth the $20. You can go to Autozone's website and they have an online repair manual. Time consuming to make a printable version but far better than the Haynes. If I had an International dealership near me I would get the manual from them.

If there is a bible, it's the Helm one. I guess that would be the King George version. As for this site being the bible, It's really the church. And in many cases, the confesional.

AMEN Mel......

I am a bentley man myself. I might try the helm though. Not a ton of 6.9 info in the Bentley but it is the absolute best for everything else. The Haynes Tech Book is great for the 6.9 7.3 engine.

as for the haynes diesel repair manual, it's geared toward the power stroke i thought. not much good for the 6.9/7.3 IDI.
