Where do I get really good repair manuals for the Ford Ranger?
I have the Haynes from the local auto parts store and it really lacks the kind of info I need to troubleshoot. I can read and understand schematics and other engineering info. Any good ideas?
Thanks in advance, Mike
Are the genuine Ford workshop manuals good enough for you?
Thanks Mark!
I am just looking for somthing a little cheaper. I think I will spend over $200 for one system from Helm, whereas just a few years ago I spent $65 on a phone book sized shop manual for my VW Jetta -- and it covered nearly everthing. Helm might be the best out there though. Thanks again.
Do a search on eBay motors for your manual. I bought a used factory service manual for my '74 Trans Am for about about $25 a year or so ago.
When I wanted a good manual for my Jeep (an '81 CJ5 that I bought in '98), I went to the Jeep dealer with my request. I got an 800 phone number where I could order a complete copy of the factory shop manual. It cost about $75, but is by far the best automotive manual in my library. By far.
Jeff, That's a great idea also. Thank you! Mike
