Does anyone own the two volume set of Ford Shop Service Manuals?

If so, what do you think of them?

The set usually sells for over $100!!!

I was wondering how much practical information it provides on troubleshooting, part identification, assembly steps, etc...

 

There is a member on this forum named "1997-f350". He is kind enoough to have a link at the bottom of his signature that says "Got manual", click it, it's a link to the manual you're looking for.

This should help decide whether you want to put out $$.

Thanks for that info.

This looks exactly like the cd version, I was wondering if the paper version was any better or worse?

 

I have the Three Books (two F series, and one diesel supplement) and the CD version. The CD version is faster when you want to find something, and you can just print off what you need and not have to take the whole manual to the shop to get dirty. But, unless you have a computer in your shop, you have to go back inside the house to look up something else. So I guess its a toss up. But for the money, to work on only my own truck or one at my house, I would use the link or the CD. If you have to work on other trucks at different locations I would shell out the money and go with the manual.
