Are FSMs available for digital download anywhere?

[Ranger850]

Looking for a PDF file type of the Factory Service Manuals. Over on another forum, their are several member who have the PDF files and/or links to them for Nissans. Is anything like that available from Ford or any members here have the FSM in a digital format? Looking for one for a 2001 Ranger and a 2000 Explorer, for the v8 swap.

Try Helm... I know they printed owners manuals and services manuals when I did work with Ford. I seem to remember them still doing that service and offering in digital.

Local Libraries often have online links to auto repair data bases, you just need to setup a free online account with Library
And can view and print what you need at home

And you can buy Ford Service manuals on ebay, for any year and model, then resell it for what you paid for it when you no longer need it, so basically free
People always need these, just like you do now, lol

Ford, like Honda has kept their manuals locked down. I had to get my manuals through Helm. Every once in a while, you'll see one for sale on ebay as well. Helm has the manuals on a DVD and it requires a program to be installed to view it. It's also not Linux friendly. It works on my Windows machine and may work on Apple but I didn't pay attention the the Apple compatibility.

Try Ebay, I snagged the parts book for mine on there on a CD.
