F-53 Repair Manuals (Chilton/Haynes/etc.)
OK, I've done a web search, but come up empty-handed.
Does anyone know if there is a repair manual available (short of the Ford Factory Service Manual, Volumes 1 through 99)?
I went through the Haynes/Chilton website and drilled through different menus and came up with nothing useful. On the Chilton side they had a link to the motor home chassis manual, but it kept returning a Ford Bronco page. Maybe their link needs to be fixed.
Anyway, I was going through some you tube videos and came across this one:
Less Junk, More Journey - getting towed
and I started thinking that many times something as simple as a failed temperature sending unit can be temporarily bypassed by unplugging it. I know that it would set an OBD-II code for low return voltage and probably throw it back into open-loop fuel mapping, but at least the coach can be driven. The problem is, I am not at all familiar with the Ford Triton series engines and couldn't pinpoint the location of that sensor with a precursory glance with the doghouse removed. I wold have expected to find it somewhere near the thermostat housing.
So, I need a manual. Next to my OBD-II scantool, it would be just as important as the full toolbox I travel with. Anyone have any suggestions? I prefer print manuals over CD-Rom or downloadable PDF manuals.
