Does anybody print a maintenance book on a specific year/make truck? I'd like to get a book just for my 93 F-150. I have a Haynes and a Chiltons, and while they're great books, they cover like 7 years worth of the series, and sometimes the info gets confusing...at least to my simple mind it does. I spent an hour yesterday looking for a sensor, only to find out my 93 doesn't have it...duh! I'd appreciate anyt info.

I know when I was working at a local garage while I was still livin in the US, we used Mitchell On Demand. It was very specific on everything. As far as the maintenance goes I wasn't looking for that info just some pn's and torque specs and such. I understand this isn't the answer you were looking for but when you said specific I thought of Mitchell's, and think if they have all that stuff why not maintenance info.

http://www.helminc.com/

A service manual is $120.00 plus $6.00 shipping. It includes full drive
train maintenance, fuel, electrical, smog control, accessories,
troubleshooting, etc.-(3) 8-1/2" X 11" books about 5" to 6" total thickness.

Their expensive, that's why i dont have one yet. I know a guy that gets them for every truck he owns and he says they're well worth the money.

Wow! Thanks clarkbnd, that's just what I've been looking for. I figure they have to be worth the investment...even if it saves me only one trip to the garage.
