Are there any repair maintenance Manuals out there for a 1997 F-150?

Some libraries have Chilton, Motors, Mitchel and some of these are on CD
ROM.

When you say idle comfort, what do you mean. I've been after Ford for my
"rough" idling 97 f150 5.4L since shortly after I got it last July. It now
has 13,000 miles and I've had the engine replaced due to piston slap, and it
still has the same problem. Ford says they are aware of the problem and "are
working" on a solution. What has your experience been. How about anyone else
out there?

Thanks,
Jay

FYI I have an E-350 van with the V-10 Triton, 17,000 miles and usually rides
with 12 to 14 folks onboard. Overall average has been 11-to-12 mpg. The last
3-tanks have given 13.4mpg.

I was talking to a guy yesterday with a V-10 and 3.73 rear end F-250, he
pulls a 4 horse trailer and when loaded he's getting 8 and 9 mpg, running
without the trailer on open road about 12 mpg. Reports pulling power is
good, but thinks with the same load in mountains the 4. something rear would
be a better choice. He hates the outside mirrors as every bump in the road
they move. That's all I have to offer.
