Lack of S550 service/repair manuals?!?

[Dr Ron]

I’m 67. I’ve been performing maintenance and repairs on my vehicles since 1972. I’ve always had either manufacturer or other repair/service manuals for every vehicle (47 vehicles since 1972) but it sucketh immensely that there are absolutely no reasonably priced manuals available for 2015-2022 Mustangs.
The cheapo CD-ROM .pdf manuals are bad bootlegs and never have information on EcoBoost or V6 engines and other information is sparse , the Motorcraft 72 hour manual access for $29.00 a pop is a corporate rip off and popping $250-$300 + on a impossible to find factory service manual just isn’t in my budget for sensible expenditures..
So… Does anyone have any idea as to why Haynes or Clymer hasn’t offered a manual?
Does anyone know how to procure a printed manual that isn’t Uber expensive or a bad .pdf file?
This is nuts.
Thanks
Dr Ron

Hey Dr. Ron,

What you are after is HERE::

It will work for all 2015-2017’s. It may still be applicable to 2018+ from a hardware/body chassis perspective but not software/body harnesses due to all the 2018+ changes.

Do not follow the link in the post mentioned above. Unless you like malware on your computer!

I have a PDF copy of the 2016 service manual in my google drive. The wiring diagrams are not searchable as they are scans but you can still find what you are looking for.

Doesn't post #39 of that thread contain the Google drive pdf?

 

[StangTime]

Yeah. I posted the original PDF that TrueBlue15 compiled on my google drive. In post Post 39 is a copy of that link. The first posts of that thread has you going to a website that will install what's known as a "Browser search hijacker" which is malware.

Ooooo.... didn't know the initial post was a bad link now folks!

@5ohh_kenny - can you modify your initial post there in your thread and remove the link?

 

[Dr Ron]

Thanks all!

I got my 2017 Mustang GT repair manual at https://www.factory-manuals.com/ a few years ago. Twas $80, looks like they are 10 bones cheaper, and yes a big pdf.

 

[Dr Ron]

Thanks!
Just popped $99.99 for the full service manual!
