Dude, talk about a "low" blow.....

 

That's why we say to choose your username very carefully. What may seem a good idea at the moment can saddle you with shame forever!

 

Haha, touche!

good song

 

Hey yall trying to figure out which manual too get....

They are Haynes manuals but im not sure what year/verzion of the haynes manual to get.

Im looking at a older red covered manual with a picture of a truck being broke down.

Or a newer blue covered manual with a picture of a bronco on front. Which would be better for my 1981 ford f-100? Thanks

 

Factory Ford manuals are by FAR the best! Lots of places sell 'em... check eBay, I
got some from this place:

I'm not too familiar with haynes or anything like that.
i've always gone with what I can find online or in the forums haha

 

Hey ctubutis, what would i search ebay for to find the manual i need?

Would this be the one i would want? (want one to basically cover anything and everything on my truck.

That is ONE of the ones you want; that one doesn't cover the engine, you need
a separate manual for that.

Another one I'll highly recommend is the Electrical Diagrams manual.

I don't have the Emissions manual, I sometimes wish I did (that stuff isn't
covered in the Engine manual).

I've heard good things about some sort of vacuum system troubleshooting/
diagnosis manual put out by Ford, too, but don't have it.

Shop around... I got the electrical one from some guy in NYC who sold it at a
BIN (But It Now) price of $5, he no longer had the truck and was cleaning out
his garage.

That place I sent you to earlier today also sometimes advertises on eBay; I got
a brand-new, still shrinkwrapped set of two - the primary shop manual + the
engine one - for something like $25.

Search the archives of this forum for "factory shop manual" and see what you
come up with, there are lots o' places out there....

 

That one is the Engine Manual; you want it, too.

 

Oh so theirs several manuals that cover different parts of the truck? Which are most helpful? I prob need help with motor work most.

 

Man, those factory books ROCK!!!!!!! The detail that's in those
things is nothing short of astounding. Haynes, Chilton,
AllData, whatever, they're all subsets of the original Ford
manuals.

 

i've got a chiltons manual... i like it, and when ever it dosent cover somthin....
STOSH!!!!!!!!!!
