Service Manual

Can someone tell me what is the best service repair manual for a 2001 Ford F150 truck? Not Chilton/Hanes but a factory service workshop manual. I found a Chrysler one online that is a PDF download that is good. Can't find one like it for the truck. I would like one on disc or download, not paperback. The paperbacks on Ebay are called Workshop Manuals. These are the actual Ford motor company service manuals.

Go with the service DVD from Ford. Get one from ebay for around $35 or a copy for half. The only complaint I have is that you have to change the date to prior the experation date on the DVD.

Google "runasdate" to eliminate that pesky expiration date issue.

Original Ford factory manuals = helminc.com

Helm has printed all of FoMoCo's literature since the 1940's.

What Helm sells to the public is the exact same manuals the dealers use.
