Haynes manuals are written specifically for the do-it-yourselfer, yet are complete enough to be used by professional mechanics. Since 1960 Haynes has produced manuals written from hands-on experience based on a vehicle teardown with hundreds of photos and illustrations, making Haynes the world leader in automotive repair information.
Haynes offers the best coverage for cars, trucks, vans, SUVs and motorcycles on the market today. Each manual contains easy to follow step-by-step instructions linked to hundreds of photographs and illustrations. Included in every manual: troubleshooting section to help identify specific problems; tips that give valuable short cuts to make the job easier and eliminate the need for special tools; notes, cautions and warnings for the home mechanic; color spark plug diagnosis and an easy to use index.

Just not practical for the 6.0L or 6.4L diesel owner
By fatboytx
Why 1 star? Well I bought the book because I have a 2008 6.4L diesel and the cover of the book clearly states 1999-2010. I take exception to the cover. I think it covers 1999-2003. It doesn't take much more than page turning before you begin noticing that the book is more about the 7.3 diesel, the V10 gas and the 5.4L gas, than anything else. There are occasions where it mentions the 6.0L and 6.4L diesels but I think that it is more of an exception. As an example, I have yet to find any mention of the diesel particulate filter (DPF) in the book. It wasn't mentioned in the emissions chapter nor the exhaust chapter. How so? I'll look further but I frankly think its missing. So, I give this book 1 star because it provides some common torque settings but I don't find it a very useful repair manual for my 6.4L diesel. Those, with other older engines may find it useful. Just got this book today and I'll return and update this review if I discover that I am mistaken.

The later in the year, the less useful this becomes
By S. Hall
I've picked my manual up a couple of times to look up information and was not able to find anything useful. I'm driving a 2010 Ford, and it appears the pictures and detailed text are for the earlier models within the date range. The 2008-2010 Ford SD series are often described as a small, final paragraph at the end of each section. The description for removing my dash panels is just plain wrong. I also could not find any detailed information where the grease zerks are on my front suspension. Both of these seem like very simple items to cover, so unless I just happen to be finding gaps in an otherwise wonderful manual, I think this is not worth it at any price for later model vehicles.
I might try to find a used copy of the 2011 series since these vehicles are more common to my truck than the earlier SDs (except for the transmissions and engines).

Useful reading and good basic "Shade Tree Mechanic" Manual
By J. Cook
My friend has this manaual and I borrowed it from him... and after finding it useful, I decided to buy one for myself.
It does not cover 100% of everything you will need to know, but it does cover 100% of what the basic owner or "shade tree mechanic" will need or want to know (which meets my needs).
