Service manuals

Where is the best place to get detailed service manuals? (not the typical Haynes or Chilton ones, the kind the dealers' service dept. has)

You're welcome. And later, after you sell the Excursion, you can sell the manuals on eBay. A buddy of mine tossed out his 1991 F350 factory service manuals after selling his truck. I gave him $5 for the books ... then sold them on eBay for $95.

Haynes & Chilton have "some" useful information in their manuals, but they can't hold a candle to the factory books.

try www.motorcraft.com. on the first page in the top red area click on tech resources. them make up a sign in. next page left side near the bottom you will find purchase a subscription for $9.95 YOU CAN buy a 3 day down load time frame, down load in pdf the full shop manual. wire digrams. oasis reports. tsb's to that time date and much more. if yoy need more time $29.95 buys a full month.$99.95 buys a full year .i found it very worth while and even helped my dealer repair my truck the first time in.
ps you can even down load your owners manaul if you do not have one for free by just looking around in the left hand areas
