Repair Manual

[Hank F.]

What general repair manual have you folks found to be the most useful? Thanks

IMO, Ford Factory Manuals are the only way to go. If you know how to burn CDs you can grab them off of this site: http://www.fordcds.com You can also find the Ford Manuals on eBay.

There are some very good online resources you should be aware of, as well:

I think that the Chiltons are a waste of time. I use the Helms - which is the Ford factory manual - best you can get out there IMHO. You can purchase them online for around $100.

Helms is the only way to go.
That's what Ford uses.

The Chilton's is useful because you can leave it in the car and carry it with you, for when something bad happens! (Also keep a printout of the SHOtimes list of codes.)
