Online manuals?

Online manuals?
Hi all. Just got a new-to-me 1995 F350 4x4 CCLB today. This big girl has the binge drinking 460c" V8, an automatic transmission and a looooong list of issues to sort out.
This is my first Ford Truck and I am wondering if you guys know of a (cheap/free) online resource for manuals/circuit diagrams for these units?
Wiring diagrams found in the Haynes manuals will not suffice for the repairs needed to get this truck into shape.
Cheers
Matt.

The cheapest I know of is the local library. Most of them have a reference section with manuals or they can get them on loan from other libraries. then copy what you need. Other than that most internet services are fee driven.
There are a lot of guys on this forum with tons of knowledge so start asking questions & see if answers are here on this forum. also there is a search section here that might help answer your questions.

As mentioned above you can generally find whatever you need here with a little effort, or ask and someone will help you.
If you really want your own manuals, which I understand, you can get the Alldata diy for one vehicle for a year for around $25 but I don't recommend it. Neither Alldata or Ondemand are really any better than Haynes, especially when it comes to wiring.
I just looked on ebay and you can get the factory manuals pretty reasonably there if you look through the listings a bit. I saw the factory wiring manual for 1995's for $12.

Thanks fella's. I have not had to work on a Ford for ages so there will be a steep learning curve over the next few weeks as I track down the top ten problems, most of them caused by the previous owner bodging instead of repairing stuff properly.
I like the sound of the $12 factory manual.

Hi,
Our local libraries have alldata diy online available -- catch is you have to use their computers (possibly you could use a laptop in the library)
Yours may have a similar deal. SOMETIMES alldata has better stuff, sometimes they don't. They often do have sections showing locations for components and grounds.
Mitchell used to publish an all brands resource ( trucks/cars/imports) that some libraries still have. They can also be pretty good.
As somebody else mentioned, ebay has some factory stuff as well.
