Repair manuals

Anyone got some suggestions for good repair manuals. I wanna have a book to keep in the truck for whenever I need. Haynes doesn’t seem to have one for the 96 power strokes. I am checking out chilton but figured y’all probably know the best one to keep.

$23 for the Ford CD manual. Find it on Rockauto or the like.

Chilton and Haynes are not very good in my opinion. I have both.
Hit man x is probably best idea.

I do like the paper ones for other tricks and tips related to the chassis itself.

Thanks guys! And I must agree I personally like having the paperback to physically hold.

While I prefer paper manuals I also prefer the actual factory shop manuals. The paper versions are still $80+. You can get bootleg versions on cd on eBay for $12.

I will check those out. I think whichever one will give me the most comprehensive manual is my goal. That way I can at least attempt the fix before I go to someone else.
This is my first 7.3, so it is also a learning experience for me.
