I baught a eBay DVD rip off. This guy takes Ford manuals and rips them and illegally makes copies of them. Mine never worked on my computer. You have to go into your computer and change the date back to the year of you vehicle. Of course I did this and the disk still would not work. I contacted the seller and he stated. You are the first one with problems. Like I have not heard that before.
I se now on eBay they are actual Ford manuals on there. Actual bound books. They have ford written all over them. Thay are desribed as being from closed or out of business dealers. That's the route I would take next time.
The problem is the DVD is $15 and the books are $100-150.

I bought the OEM shop Ford service manuals and wiring diagram book for my truck because I don't like to have my laptop under the truck, etc. but if you want the instructions online, check out this thread.

This online resource works great and I can check it out from my laptop before I go outside to the manuals and the truck. Here's the website link

I agree there is not alot of the DVD's that show up for a 99 year truck but I have seen them on there. I have every year from 2000 to 2007 and have never had a bad one but the ones I have are not copies but actual Ford DVD's. It is true you have to back date them because the disc's are date stamped and after that date they do not play. It takes me all of 60 seconds to change the date on my computer and to load the DVD. I will settle for the 20 bucks I spent for the disc.
