Reference Material needed

Hello all,
I just picked up a 1997 F250 Heavy Duty with the 7.3 Power Stroke, ext cab, 4WD, auto.

Where can I find books like Haynes or Chilton that will cover this truck with the diesel? I went looking today at the parts stores, but all I can find is the gas version. Why is this? I'd like the capacities and all the other things that are normally found in a book, as I want to do an oil change tomorrow and some other routine things. This is my first diesel, so please bear with me! Thanks!

I had a Haynes and it wasn't all that great, but I wanted it just because I do that with all my vehicles.

What you really need is this link:http://www.thedieselstop.com/faq/949...e=stjs73br.htm

with this supplement:
97-15A 7.3L DI Turbo Workshop Manual

Good luck and welcome to the forum!

Thanks! I used to hang around here a few years ago, but I sold my old F250's. Good to be back!

So I need to use the gas version books for the stuff that's not diesel related?

No. The first link covers everything, the second one (supplement) is just diesel engine only. But the first does get into it briefly.
