If anyone needs this, I got this item #110031475510 from the guy at karnegie systems on ebay. He indicated this was the service dvd for the early 99 F250. It says it includes all engines. How specific are the diagrams on these dvds and are these the real deal with detailed instruction? I`m still a bit gunshy from the last purchase. Any more input would be appreciated.

Don't hesitate this is the real deal. Very good with pictures. It takes awhile to learn how to navigate thru it but it's chock full of info. It's a factory repair manual on dvd and is written to expect a certain amount of knowlege from the user ie. Ford trained Mecahnic.

Had to bump this one. Look here
OK, I ordered that DVD and got it today. I've spent about two hours after work farting around looking at it and have barely dented it. I have had Helm factory Ford manuals in the past, (hard copies) and will now deliver my initial observations:
1. GET THIS DVD
2. Did i say get this DVD?
3. It has all of the factory standard shop manual crap, (Helm $75-100)
4. It has the annoying PC/EC (powertrain emmission control) info the stupid hardcopy manuals always refer to but you have to buy that seperate.
5 It cost $23 shipped
6. Buy this DVD
7. My copy covers 2000-2003 Fords. Yes Fords = all models. Not a typo. I think it covers later ones too but have yet to actually poke around there. Think that one over for a minute. $23.
8. This appears to be the Ford manuals on electrons, install discaimers from Ford etc.
9. Did I mention BUY THIS DVD, it is the real deal.

Oh yeah Alan, and thanks. Only bought it because of your recommendation. Having spent big bucks before, I just want to endorse this as a big, no huge bang for the buck. Fence sitters, don't hesitate. This is a steal.

thanks guys for the heads up! Received mine this weekend and it looks well worth it. Still searching & fumbling through the menu but it looks good.
One question - when you went to install it the install program asked for a code. Did you just leave it blank & hit enter or does someone have the mystery code?
