Service Manuals
Hey guys,
I am in the process of looking for some service manuls for my 79 f-150 4x4 and my 95 Bronco. I have looked at the ones in Motorhaven and on Ebay. I have a couple of questions. I have noticed that a few of them people are referring to software for the CD's. Is this a software package that comes with the CD's or do I need to purchase additional software? Also the manuals on FTE are priced around $50 and the ones on Ebay are going for around $10-$30. What is the difference? Are there some issues I need to check on about the the CD's on ebay? I am wanting to get the best deal for my money and don't want to get screwed over. I am kind of leaning towards the FTE CD's just because I trust the FTE folks more than the Ebay people. Hope to hear from you guys.
Thanks

I have bought the CD from FTE for a 76. I'm very happy with it. If I remember correctly it came with it's own reader. I don't know about the ones on e-bay but they are probably the same. If not then they probably require something like Adobe Acrobat Reader which is a free program for reading PDF files.

The CD's that FTE sells is a great Manual.
You won't be disappointed
What kind/make of CD's were on E-bay.
There was a guy on the newsgroups that was selling pirated manuals on there a while ago.

There are a lot of used dealer OEM manuals on eBay. Some of them are pretty shopworn. Some are great, and some are copies of various quality. The CD's on FTE are reproduction new OEM manuals licensed by Ford, Good stuff! Here you can order one right away, many times on eBay you have to wait for an auction to close.
