Engine Options:
The manual covers parts for various engine options of the 1987-1991 Ford F-350. Common engines for this period included the 4.9L (300 cu in) I6, 5.0L (302 cu in) V8, and the 7.5L (460 cu in) V8. Diesel options, such as the 7.3L IDI V8, were also available.
Horsepower Torque Range:
Specific horsepower and torque figures varied by engine option and year, but generally ranged from approximately 145-190 HP and 250-370 lb-ft of torque for gasoline engines, and higher for diesel variants.
Fuel Delivery:
Parts for carbureted (on some earlier models/engines) and electronic fuel injection (EFI) systems are covered.
Manual Transmission:
Parts for available manual transmissions such as the 4-speed and 5-speed Overdrive (e.g., NP435, T-18/T-19, ZF S5-47) would be listed.
Automatic Transmission:
Parts for optional automatic transmissions like the C6 3-speed or E4OD 4-speed overdrive transmission would be included.
Drivetrain Configurations:
Parts for both 2WD (RWD) and 4WD driveline configurations are covered.
Cab Styles:
Parts for various cab styles including Regular Cab, SuperCab (Extended Cab), and potentially Crew Cab configurations would be covered.
Bed Lengths:
Parts for different bed lengths (e.g., 8-foot, 10-foot) would be available.
Gvwr:
Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWR) for the F-350 typically started around 8,500 lbs and could extend significantly higher depending on configuration and axle choice, impacting part selection.
Crash Test Data:
While specific NHTSA/IIHS ratings for this specific year range might be limited, the manual covers relevant safety components like seat belts and the nascent airbag systems of the era.
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) components are listed.
Cruise Control:
Cruise Control System parts are covered.
Airbags:
Air Bag System components are listed, indicating their availability in later models within this range.
Seat Belts:
Seat Belt components are covered.
Audio Systems:
Parts for basic AM/FM radio, cassette players, and optional premium sound systems would be covered.
Cruise Control:
The availability of cruise control as an optional feature is noted in the manual's coverage.
Electrical Systems:
The 'ELECTRICAL' section implies coverage of wiring harnesses, switches, fuses, relays, and lighting components.
General Recommendations:
While this is a parts catalog, it implicitly supports maintenance by providing access to replacement parts for wear items. Typical intervals for oil changes (3,000-5,000 miles), filter changes, and coolant flushes are standard for this era.
Engine Oil:
Owner's manuals or service manuals would specify SAE viscosity grades (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-30) based on temperature and engine type (e.g., API SG or higher). Diesel engines might require specific CI-4 or CD oils.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based coolant (typically green) was standard. Capacity varies by engine and cooling system configuration.
Transmission Fluid:
Automatic transmissions typically used MERCON or equivalent ATF. Manual transmissions would specify gear oil appropriate for the gearbox (e.g., GL-4 or GL-5).
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 brake fluid is typically specified.
Common Wear Items:
Typical wear items for this generation F-350 include ball joints, tie rod ends, U-joints, brake components (rotors, pads, calipers), exhaust systems, and potentially radiator/heater cores. The manual would list specific part numbers for these.
Ford Truck Legacy:
The Ford F-Series has been a dominant force in the pickup truck market for decades, known for its robustness and capability, with the F-350 serving as a heavy-duty workhorse.
Eighth Generation:
The 1987-1991 model years fall within the eighth generation (1987-1991) of the Ford F-Series, which saw significant aerodynamic updates and the introduction of electronic fuel injection across most engines.
Manufacturing Plants:
Ford's F-Series trucks were produced in various plants across North America, contributing to their widespread availability.
