Excursion Shop Manual

I'm new to this forum, but I want to share this with all. I bought this software and it is the real thing. This DVD has all manuals, codes, TSBs, symptom charts and everything else that the Ford dealer uses. It has proven to be invaluable in maintaining my '03 7.3L with 157,xxx miles on it.
The best part is it's cheap. I bought it about a year ago and it was around 30 bucks with cheap shipping. Get it, learn and help us all!

You have to use the dvd in your computer. And you have to set up the program using PACODE that is supplied with the program. Your probably tinking I'm the seller of this program. I'm not. I searched a long time to find it. I wanted to copy the DVD and give it to a friend that is my go to guy on assisting me with repairs but I've lost my code. My program works because I had it when I installed it. But I,m telling you this is a good value. This program covers all Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles from 2000 - 2003.
They have this same program for what looks like all vehicles. I want more of you on the forum to get it so you can help me understand some of the nuances of repairing my high mileage X.

I bought a manual for another vehicle from this seller.. They ARE Illegal copies of the factory software... often many of the functions don't even work because you need to be able to sign-in to the Manufacturers website with current valid login info.. Futhermore the seller claims its not an illegal copy in his text... I returned the item for a full refund! Also informed Ebay of the fact they are selling illegally copied software. Obviously ebay does not care if you are selling things in violation of their policy if you are a high volume seller as you are making themlots of money. F@#k ebay

I have them for all fo the ford vehicles between the years 1997 and 2008. They are really nice to have. They will work for earlier years y changing the date on the computer you are using. a minor thing really. There is also a way to have the cd's loaded into your hard disk so you don't have to use the disks. makes it real handy.

soutthpaw,
I don't doubt they're illegal. Now I regret posting their link. That would explain why I couldn't find the anywhere on the web. But that was after my order. If that is so, is there a way to remove my posted link to their Ebay store? I don't particularly like to promote this activity.

yeah I got the one for an Audi. ended up returning it and getting the Bentley DVD is actually better than the factory copy they were selling. I also contacted dealer to check and verify it was an illegal duplication. After that I contacted the seller and they told me oh well of you wanted the original disk it would cost $500-$1000 or more from the dealer. I was even able to find the name of the dealer/ service manager that the original disk belonged to. thought about sending the info to Corporate VW Audi... but figured if they were that concerned about it they would have already taken action against seller and ebay. It seems the only thing ebay will take action on is formal letter of legal action
Funny all the people that left feedback and said HONEST seller ... heh heh

Too bad i could have used something like this but like yall will not pay someone to pirate software. Ebay does care about piracy trust me ive had stuff pull a person claimed to be a copy of an original its just a matter if they get around to it or not. But what i was selling was worth $5k too and i know who reported me and i was to be malicious. Anyway my 2 cents worth.
