so i went to a swap meet this weekend and well i saw some 2005 f250-550 super dutys workshop ford manuals. my truck however is an 06 i figured it should be close enough being the same engine and only a year newer... was i right should everything (for the most part) be pretty much the same? i got them for a killer deal...! vol 1 vol 2 and wire diagrams all in good condition

 

Spill the beans. How much?

I was looking for hard copy manuals the other day and ended up buying a disc off of e bay that is date sensitive. it is a pain in the butt to use. Hate it. So needless to say am still looking for hard copy manuals...

 

I printed out the sections that I needed and put them in a binder, it's filling up fast. Your right though it is a pain in the butt.

Keep the software use time and date in a doc file or notepad, then change the computer date to that when you need to. Pretty simple.

 

You guys want a quick fix for the date issue?
I have one that works so very well.

Look for a program called "Run As Date" when you install it look
at the options and create a desktop icon for the DVD with the click
box in the options. When you set it up don't make any changes in the
start options and you should be fine.

BTW Don't get this from Download.com. They seem to like to
put a lot of crap in the package.

Then are you tired of swapping in the DVDs ?
There is an easy fix for that also and easy to do. If you want that fix
PM me and I'll send you the instructions I got from Creator.
Works very well. If you do get and use it and like it be sure to send
him some Reps.

and what would you say a good price is?

 

Hard copies anything under $75.00 and that is for all 4 books.
DVD copies $35.00

I cant even get the damn dvd to eject..LOL...Must be time for a new laptop
Thanks Sean
Thanks

 

It does sound like it "might" be time to toss that one.
Here is the funny part I like the older Panasonic ToughBook CF-29.
The only thing I use it for is truck stuff.
I have access to a bunch out here that are for sale. I can get prices
if you need/want one. They like XP Pro but if your only doing the truck
and not out on the web they are safe.

i paid $40 for vol 1,2 and wire diagram... whats the 4th book?

 

PC/ED manual

 

If you get it in hard copy it's black and bronze. Covers testing and PIDs.
Along with a few other things.
The DVD tends to have all 4 sections and you can print or export PDFs.

Thanks. I might take you up on that in the not to distant future.
