It is worth the $16 if it is truly a OEM service manual. I have a Ford OEM manual and it is very handy to have. Mine is also CD rom based. I also have paper copies and both have their place.

The Powertrain Control and Emission Diagnostics (PC/ED) manual is a good one to get if you can find it. That is the troubleshooting manual.

that is a pirated copy of the factory manual on a dvd.
it is kind of hard to find what you are looking for because on the DVD they do not call things what you would expect the m to be called.

i have a real ford DVD and paid $75 for it with the ford unlock code.

Back in the older days of FTE, there used to be a guy on here who knew and shared the links to where you could download a pirated copy of the service dvd and pc/ed. Lawyers went after him pretty hard for just posting up links, so it may be wise to not publicly post links to something that is a bootleg version.

I bought a couple of cds from ebay in 2011. The 5 dollar one suc**d, and the seller whined when I gave him negative feedback. The 15 dollar one is great, but wasn't from the same guy your looking at. I have a harder time following my real deal electrical manual, things aren't always where the book says they are, but still invaluable.

Thanks for the replies.

If that link shouldn't be there, then mods can feel free to remove it.
