Summary: Ford F-Series Pickup Owner's Bible: A Hands-On Guide to Gett
Review: Did not iknclude late model info and little or no info on Turbo Diesels and 97 Heavy Duty F250
Rating: 
Summary: Great book at what it is intended for
Review: I respectfully disagree with the poor ratings offered by other reviewers. This book was never intended to be a complete service manual and it offers very important information that you will never find in other books. Mr Ludel created in this book something that I've found incredibly lacking in more typical service manuals: readability and enjoyable content. He gives an overview of the prolific and popular Ford F-series truck. His descriptions of the different available engines, transmissions and accessory packages is unique. His book is something that you can actually sit down and enjoy reading. It is not a terse, robotic instruction manual that guides you through maintenance and repair procedures. He describes the many faces of the Ford trucks as they spanned the years dating back to its infancy up through more current models. Buy this book for the right reasons. If you are interested in buying a used Ford F-series or if you already own one then this will serve you well. Unless some kind of revised edition is in the works then the information might be dated in the context of buying a new truck. Do NOT buy this book expecting to get a service manual that will give you step-by-step instructions for repairing a component on your truck. It was not intended for this! If you want a service manual I suggest the Haynes line, and I would specifically suggest NOT getting the Chilton brand manuals. In my experience Haynes has for more clear instructions and illustrations than Chilton.

Review: The book have basic information only, was too general, I need a real repair manual to replece my clutch. Still looking for a decent book.
Rating:
Summary: Ford lite, not for repair minded individuals
Review: The book was too general to be of any real benefit for use as a repair manual. Still looking for a decent book on the mysteries of ford's fuel injection system.
Rating:
Summary: Not much of a maintenance manual
Review: This book is a wealth of information. It tells you about hundreds of modifications, technichal information, and history of the F-series trucks from1948-1995. It is money well spent!
