Getting tired of dealerships always saying "that's normal" or "drive it until it gets worse so our idiot mechanics can verify the problems"(ok I made that one up but it's true)so I'm just going to start fixing things on my own dime. What is a good service manual for a 2019 F250? I prefer one in print form if they still make them but could live with an E manual if that's the only choice.
At those prices, I suspect those eBay manuals are pirated copies. I get my factory service manuals from the same place the dealer gets 'em ... helminc.com
CD/DVD only available nowadays. The old hardcopies were huge books ... the last hardcopy version I had was for 2001 Excursions. Also note that the wiring diagrams were typically offered as a separate item and weren't included with the service manual.
Helm manuals for the SD include the complete wiring diagrams and images of the connector faces and locations. One item not included that I have not been able to locate elsewhere is a parts list. Sure would be nice to have an exploded parts diagram for my 2021.

Thanks! Glad to hear wiring diagrams are now included. When I ordered their service manual for my 2006 Honda motorcycle, I also ordered a parts book which had hundreds of exploded views. Often found I would use both the service manual and parts book (both hardcopies) simultaneously. And being able to identify the exact part number was often very useful. I don't see a parts book offered for the SD.
The FSM has the sub section hyperlinks to exploded views and part numbers. Remember these are part numbers and not the engineering numbers which will need to be crossed when ordering parts.
Just be aware you will need a computer with a CD player to install. If you have PC w/o a cd drive you will need a usb cd drive to install. You can copy the cd contents onto the computer after it's installed so the cd and drive are not need every time you want to look something up. It's a lot fast this way too.
Why would you not prefer digital? You can print out what you need. I'm sure you don't need all thousand whatever pages of it. And when they get dirty while you're working on stuff, you can print out fresh pages when needed. Or get the digital version and go to staples and have them print out all million pages and put them in a binder for you. Different strokes I guess, but I prefer to do CTRL-F and find stuff and print it out, rather than flipping through pages and pages.

Hyper link dont work on the CD I purchased from ebay guy. I got my money back...on the other hand, there is a lot of info and is worth the 40-50 $$ not sure of price..I tried to add the PDF here but it wont allow it, And I dont know much about computer stuff. sorry
I have both the Helm CD and printed electrical schematics. The electrical can be hard to use on the CD, I think it was worth the $90 for the printed electrical. The problem with the CD is that there isn't a good search function, nothing like a PDF.

Are you saying that his CD's are supposed to have working hyperlinks, but since yours didn't, he refunded you the $ and let you keep the CD?
