Sorry, just saw your request. Yes, it is.

Those have to be the best images of any shop manual I've used. I may reconsider the manual being too expensive.

I bet that very few DIY mechanics toss the OEM shock nuts/bolts. I reused mine.

It's already paid for itself to me. The electrical and body diagrams have helped me do several OEM upgrades.

Admittedly, I didn't toss mine as the existing ones only had 5k on them. I know someone will clime in about them being torque once and therefore should be replaced. Oh, well. I reused mine.

where did you get this manual and how much was it? Is it like a pdf we could share and all pitch in on the cost? Looks nice!

It isn't a PDF and you have to have the original CD to install (I tried from a copy). They must have some hidden file/partition on the CD. Anyhow, it can be bought from here for $177.00. Well worth it to me as I do lots of personal work on my vehicles.

Everyone's getting my money's worth out of buying the manual. Glad I can help!

I do appreciate the help. I always buy the manuals for my snowmobiles and motorcycles. Not sure why I didn't think to buy one for the truck.

Can anyone tell me the bolt size needed for both the front and rear shocks of a 2017 F350 and are they English or metric? Thanks!

They're metric. You don't want to reuse the OEM fasteners? I did and it wasn't a problem. The service manual states they are to be replaced though.

Thanks and do you know the size of the metric? 19, 20 or 21 mm? Need to buy one and just looking for the correct sizes. Much appreciated!

Reviving a bit of an old thread... but chasing a rear clunk noise too...

Do you have the torque specs for the bed bolts and the rear cab mount bolts?
