Manuals Chiltons/Haynes

[99svtdvr]

Is there a Haynes or Chiltons manual for our cars that includes the IRS?

Does it include the 4V motors?

I have been looking and do not see any?

I have a chiltons for 94-98, so I can't comment on the IRS. However, it does cover every motor that was produced in those years. Some stuff is covered very good, other stuff is weak.

yes, theres a haynes manual..but in my humble opinion, these manuals suck now...(i used to like Chiltons when they were hard bound, they seemed to have more info in them)...i am a believer in spending the 50-100 bucks on a set of factory manuals from the dealer, (if u plan to keep that car for a good long time) factory manuals show u how to take off every single solitary nut and bolt on your car....what did u need from the Haynes manual..ill see if i can find it, I may have gotten pissed at it and chucked it in a corner of my garage...but ill look for it.

I didn't really need anything..I enjoy tackling things myself, and was looking for something that covers the irs and 4V engines. I will be keeping the car for a while.
If I contact parts at a ford dealer, will they be able to help me get factory manuals?

Get CD. I got mine off ebay for 22.00.

Pm me and I will find the listing number so you can check it out. If you dont have a lap top to bring out to your garage it might not be the fastest way to fix things. A book might be better and cheaper cuz you will have to print the info out on your desktop ect...

You know, I might be able to make you a copy of mine and just give it to you :biggthump Dont know if there is incription codes to prevent me from making you a copy but let me know and I will try.

You can also purchase a subscription to ALLDATA for your specific vehicle.

There is a site that has the Ford Manuals for free. You just need to download the ISO (CD image) and burn a CD. They started with the CD's in 1993 (as I remeber). The only one I have had trouble with is the 2000 one :crying:. Also the later ones, 2002 on are on DVD. I had no luck creating the DVD ones.

I am not at home now, but to night will provide the link to the site.

It is real nice to have the Ford manuals on line. I set up an old portable computer in the garage and can get all this info I need. :biggthump:

Good luck,
