I think it's about time I got to know my truck a little better. I think I should have a service manual. Can any one reccomend a good one? I know of Chiltons, I was wondering if any one knew of something better, maybe more complete. If you know of a good one, where can it be got? (great English, eh?)
Thanks
Tom

 

Wit,

I have the Ford manual on CD, I bought it on EBay for about 20 buck and it is very detailed. Look around on ebay if your not opposed to buying on-line. If you want a sample of some schematics to judge, let me know i'll email a file or two.

Thanks,.... neighbor.

I hadn't though of one on CD. Who published it? Is it by someone who published in book form also? I like the option of being able to cross referance things. Untill I get a lap top, it's tough to get on the computer to bring up something quick. I can see how it would be thurough. It sounds appealing. I'll check around.

I will be pulling the intake manifold off soon. I would like to see a break down before I start. There are a couple other break downs I would like to see.

I will have to find something soon.

Thanks again Ed.

I picked up the Ford 96-02 car and truck DVD on Ebay.
I do miss having the hard copy to page thru but it has everything I need. The DVD is required to be in the drive every time you want to use it.
Search Ebay for "Ford service manual" CD or DVD.

 

I received my ford CD yesterday, I got it on ebay also for $20. It is extremeley detailed.

Any idea if they cover the Lightnings? I browsed the ones I could find on ebay, and did not see anything specific... I mean I know that basically they're the same as the F-150 4x2 shorty, but I'm interested in keeping up with things like TSB's specific to the supercharged 5.4L . Thanks! :-)
