anyone ever see these explorer repair manual cds? i assume that its basically the repair manual in cdrom form. i usually see em on ebay for ~$10.00 anyone know? they any good, or should i just get a haynes book?

I have one for my Contour and plan to get one for the X.
They are nice since you can print out what you need, get it dirty and throw away. I used to get the printed manuals and I always ruined them getting them dirty etc.

I still will buy the Chilton manual but IMHO, the Haynes manuals SUCK.

for $10.00 i might try the cdrom, but just in case, where can you get a chiltons manual?

The Chiltons are available at Kragen, Schucks, (not AUTOZONE) and Barnes and noble. You can also order via online at http://www.amazon.com

you can get chiltons and haynes at pepboys....well at least up in norcal

around here pep boys only has the haynes. ill check out barnes and nobles though. thanks guys.

Here's the problem with the Chiltons that i realized when i was flipping through it. They try to cover the 91-99 model years. It's tough trying to squeeze in two body & chassis styles in one book. I bought it because i have the Chiltons for my Nissan Maxima. The Maxima one is fine because they only cover the 89-94 model years.....same body style (with slight exterior diffs.) and same chassis. I think i will get the Helms manual in due time.
