shop manuals

What company publishes the Ford Shop Manuals now and where can I find a set for my explorer? I have found some used manuals on ebay, just not sure that they are the factory manuals or not.

you can buy the factory from a dealership but they are expensive i think over 1k per car, they are published by helm i think.

Ha! A PC playing in my shop would last 5 minutes, if I was lucky, before I threw a wrench at it! imp

No luck at the linked Helm Site. All they show is the owner's (glovebox) manual. Anyone ?? Thanks

I called the dealer here and they said "HelmIMC" but no dice there, only "owners manual"

None of the online looks real, only scanned .pdf. The Haynes is a useless joke for what I need.
