Best Manual For My Truck?
I try to take real good care of mt '15, F-350, 6.7l, 32k miles. Thanks to guidance from here I've flushed cooling system with 30 gallons of distilled water & swapped to the new M.C. yellow coolant.
I just changed out trans filter & fluid with new M.C. atf.
I just got M.C. DOT 4 brake fluid so I can flush system & refill. Can someone tell what is the best shop-type manual/CD to covera all the maintenance procedures in depth with directions?
I looked online but there are so many claims with different products. I'm hoping someone already cut through the claims. Thank you so much.

I have the 2016 basic manual from this site.
I see their website has changed and for the 2016 they only offer one manual and an electrical diagram. When I ordered in 2017 they had 2 versions of the manual, a cheaper version without hyperlinks and a more expensive version with hyperlinks. I chose the cheaper version and regret doing so, those working hyperlinks would save a ton of time not having to use the search function. The manual I have includes the electrical diagrams so I have no idea what has changed.
The manuals from Factory-Manuals are identical to the old HELM printed manuals I purchased in the past for my other trucks. Only difference is they are in PDF format and don't weight 20lbs.

Think I would pay a little more and get the workshop DVD from HELMS
https://www.helminc.com/helm/product...716&itemtype=N
This similar to what I used to post info on here. Mine are the actual Ford DVD's that cover multiple models and were a whole lot cheaper when I bought them 5 or 6 years ago. I paid about $50 for each of the 3 DVD's I have.

But if yall say helm inc is better I will buy a laptop with cd rom.. does anyone know what's the difference in information between those 2 manual? Is one more detailed than the other?
