Ford F-Series Pickup Owner's Bible

This is the only comprehensive source of information for Ford F-Series trucks-a history, buyer's guide, service manual, and high-performance tuning book all in one! Discover every aspect of Ford F-Series Pickups, from the origins of the first model in 1948 through the latest technological advances in today's trucks. You'll learn tips for buying the right new or used truck for your needs, which accessories make sense, and how to operate 2WD and 4WD trucks on- and off-pavement.

For do-it-yourself owners, this book provides specific step-by-step procedures with hundreds of photos covering basic maintenance and more complicated work like engine tune-ups, valve adjustments, and brake jobs. It even shows you how to install an aftermarket suspension/lift kit.

Even if you never work on your truck yourself, this book helps you understand the repairs that a qualified technician performs so you can communicate clearly and assure correct, cost-effective repairs. Interested in high-performance? Get the hot set-up for your truck, whether you want low end torque for trail-crawling and towing power or high RPM horsepower top speed. Ford's experts at Special Vehicle Operations teamed up with the author to give you specific tuning recommendations for engines from the early 239 flathead V-8 through the 351 Windsor and modern 302/5.0 liter and 460 V-8s. You'll also learn about proper suspension and chassis modifications and choosing the right tire and wheel combinations.

Every F-Series owner should have this book in the cab or on the book shelf. It's the essential companion book for your truck.
