Helm manuals
FYI...I just ordered a copy of the wiring diagrams. These are great manuals just like the ones in the dealership. Not some dumbed down Clymer or Hayes. I get one for every truck I own.

How much difference would there be between the 2018 and 2019? I see the 2019 has been out of stock for most of the year but the 2018 is in stock. Just thinking of ordering the 2018 instead of waiting for the 2019 to go back in stock.

Anyone know if transferring the CD to ISO image works? I tried to install and run it from the harddrive and it errors out on me. I would like to install it to the flash drive on my windows 10 tablet to make it more portable.

I tried to put it on a thumb drive and then put it on a PC and a laptop that does not have a CD player and it will not run without the original CD. I have an external CD drive that I am using but I had hoped to get away from using it. If they would have offered a hard copy of the manuals, I would have purchased those instead. Thinking about just printing the whole thing and putting it in a binder.

You can copy to a hard drive. You just need to update the INI config file.
.
.
- Copy the entire CD to a folder called TSO onto your C: drive.
- Edit the TSOBROWSER.INI file in the TSO folder.
- Mine originally contain a line with this:
- 17SHO=1~3~E:~stock\home.htm~2017 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty~October 2016
- I updated to this:
- 17SHO=1~3~C:\TSO\17SHO~stock\home.htm~2017 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty~October 2016
- This is the executable you want to run.
- C:\TSO\tsobrowser*****

I tried that but was not successful. Not that I claim to be a computer wiz so that is probably part of the problem. My original file is:
19SKO=1~3~D:~stock\home.htm~2019 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty~August 2018
I then made this change..
19SKO=1~3~C:\TSO\19SKO~stock\home.htm~2019 F-250, 350, 450, 550 Super Duty~August 2018
When I run it, it gives me the (retry or cancel) and that's about it.
