shop manual and/or alldatadiy worth it?

[mixwhit]

I'm surprised I can't find full exploded parts diagrams for free online. I'm used to motorcycles, where I could get all that info no problem. But regardless, I'm wondering what the best source of that info is.

How is the shop manual? I'm guessing it's pricey. Does it include full parts diagrams?

How about alldatadiy.com? Worth it? Good info?

I'm driving an '03 Ranger.

Check eBay you can find Factory Service Manuals for a reasonable price, otherwise go to a Ford dealer and order it in, either way there almost worth there weight in silver. IMO
