Shop Manual

Hi!

I have a F150 4.2 and I want to do some DIY work on it. I'm wondering what are the best shop manuals out there that I can buy.

Hope someone can help me.

I don't know what is available in the Philippines. The best manuals are the OEM manuals available from Helm.

I'm not sure about something that new, but personally I have had good results via eBay when finding older manuals.

You need both the Haynes and Chilton's to get half of the info you need.

Looks like I have to buy the OEM manuals. Can I buy them online? If I can, I would really appreciate if you could give me a site to go to.

Thanks a lot.
