Econoline Shop Manuals FS

[BrianW]

A full set of Ford factory shop manuals for year 2000 Econoline. Includes wiring diagrams manual (worth it just for that book’s usefulness). I imagine they’d be basically the same for other similar vintage years (I got them for my 1998). $35 + shipping from Philadelphia area.

Hey Brian,
I would take them off your hands if still available. I have a 1999 E350 V10.

I’ll figure out how to PM you ;-)

Wow. As someone who has occasionally bought old factory shop manuals, that is a smoking deal!

Brian,

If they don’t work for Declan for any reason, or the sale doesn’t go through, I am throwing my hat in the ring for next in line.

Thanks,
Ben

That's a super good deal.........

I'll jump in line as well if it doesn't work for Declan or Ben.

[BrianW]

Pending to Declan! I just got a set of ones for my 2011 on eBay for $35 so am just covering my cost and passing on the good deal.

FWIW I've found quite a few EVTM's on eBay, some all the way back to the early and middle '80's. Anything earlier than 2000 is becoming a bit scarce.

Those DIY's who don't mind investing in printed shop manuals are wise to buy and keep them for reference. They WILL come in handy one day!

BTW here's a link to an eBay search results page---you'd have to wade through the 980+ listings for something more specific to your year and chassis: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...&_sacat=183721

I agree with JWA. I still have the 3 out of 4 manuals I bought for my old 1990 E series van (sold in early 2007). They are so good - and were so hard to find. I'm hesitant to let them go. I have a couple of 2009 manuals bought mainly because I found them cheap. I'd love to find a set for my 1992. Especially the vacuum manual since the cruise control in my van is non-op and my WAG is it's vacuum related. And looking under the hood/doghouse of a 7.3 IDI van is daunting. No room and wires and hoses running everywhere.

A little off topic, but I just purchased a 2019 Ford Transit shop manual on eBay for $35. It came as a DVD. Looking it over, it is 8,496 pages! I haven’t been brave enough to look at the wiring diagram yet. That’s a lot of paper in a bound manual.
