A no bs manual
I am looking for a manual for my 94 f-150 4.9 longbed 2wd. I have a haynes manual, and it only shows engine drive train and electrical. I have yet to find a manual that will show me all the inside info as well.

thanks..

Helms is the publisher of the factory service manuals. Appears the prices have doubled over the years,

Helm Incorporated: Search Results

Light truck service manual and powertrain manual sells for $210.00. I recall the manuals in 88 for my F150 were $125.00.

You can always try Mitchells at your local library. Usually you can't check them out, but they will let you make copies of the pages you need.

I got my Ford manuals on eBay. I have 3 for my '91 F150. Get the Service Manual (2 volumes) + the EVTM.
