I am a firm believer of service manuals. I've found that the MM manual is about $100 more than any other manual I've bought.

The Acura and Honda (auto and cycle) manuals I've used have been phenomenol.
My Victory manual is all right.
My vintage GM manuals for Pontiac suck.

I've never seen a modern Ford manual. Is the MM manual worth it? It's pricey - which makes me hesitate. Since I don't want another manual like the GM ones I have that hardly explain a single procedure.

I don't plan on wrenching on this car like I have my other vehicles. But service manuals are certainly handy - if not decent reading for the office visits.

Yes they are quite pricy, but IMO a must have. I purchased mine from HELM.

The CV/GM service manual covers the Marauder.

:beer: I wanted a manual, but choked at the HELM price. I kept a watch on eBay and scored a 2004 manual for $39.95 + $4.00 shipping. It is an actual FORDMOCO manual and not some copy. Keep looking on eBay. I've seen another one recently.:beer:

Scored mine on E bay too. Also got the wiring diagram manual and troubleshooting guide...
