18 GT PP / Manual
When I had my 2015 GT PP I had a monthly subscription to helminc for about $22/mo for my vin specific shop manuals. Now that I have another 15 GT vert all they seem to have is super expensive all vehicle model stuff. Is there anyplace that sells monthly subscription service anymore? I searched for this in the forum and only came up with resurrected threads from 2015/16 about a Romanian guy who sells copies r something. Not looking for bootleg unless that's all there is.

Any help?

Thanks!

You can find anything you need just about online in pdf form for free. It might not be a whole manual, but you should be able to find anything specifically you will need as you need it.

So you can't just buy the book for these things anymore?

No idea. I am sure you can, if you just like to spend money.

I looked on their web site and found a single model year CD for either $119 or $199 I can't remember which. I just looked it up using their search function.

I am just old school. I like to have an old greasy book in the garage. But not for $200!

There is no book available from Helm. Only a CD, which works well IF you have an older PC running Windows 7 or earlier. If you have a Mac, forget it. I have Windows 10 on my Mac and could not get it to work with the CD. Ended up buying a refurbished PC laptop running Windows 7. Sigh..... A paper book would be so nice.......

Mine works fine on two different Windows 10 computers.

However, after initial install and then after each MAJOR Win 10 upgrade you need to reinstall an old version of Adobe SVG viewer. Call Helm and someone from Ford will call you back.

The file is on the CD under tools, adobe, winnt and then run SVGview.exe

Thanks all - I got the $21 3 day subscription and am painstakingly saving each PDF for later - not a perfect solution but the only one I think makes sense at my price point!

looks like the site is shut down (not surprising), but I purchased the factory ford service manual from factory-manuals.com for $70. Totally worth it. Maybe there is a similar way to obtain elsewhere.

Helm/Ford doesn't have a clue. They keep thinking SVG. I've got two Win10 machines one works fine the pro tablet won't load images in the wiring zection. Its the graphics card. Ford still thinks everybody is still running NT they got two people who on this and no real test lab. You tell how old it is buy the install program graphic.

I got the full service manual for my car from https://www.factory-manuals.com/

I believe it was $50-60. Only problem is its a giant PDF and very hard to navigate to find what you're looking for.

I believe AllData offers personal subscriptions for semi-cheap.
