The Best $10.95 Spent

[GT Pony]

I would strongly suggest anyone ripping their Mustang apart pay the $10.95 for the 72 Hour subscription to Motorcraft Service.

I pretty much saved the entire manual as pdf documents on my computer.

How long did that take. I'd love to have the whole service manual in PDF.

Do you need a PDF maker like full blown Adobe to save the manual like you did?

Good question.

Depends how much you need, I only saved the ones I figured I needed. If I miss something I just spend another $10.95 after 72hours. I could do that several times before I get to the $177 CD price. I just print to a PDF and save each process in a folder. My folder is about 120MB so far. It's as fast as I can click on my laptop

How did you save the documents as PDFs? When I'm on the website, it's all just displayed in the browser. Thanks in advance for the help!

Good info sir. Always good to have people sharing these type of things.

As for the torque specs, Ford is pretty good about keeping similar torque specs, and thread pitches, etc - across their platforms.

Pretty standard stuff. Most of the 12mm stuff is 85ft/lbs.....14mm is 129ft/lbs......18mm is 325ft/lbs etc, etc and etc.

Most of the stuff we work with is standard procedure, and spec'd as it has been for many years based on bolt manufacturers recommend TQ settings. We typically try to just include OEM instructions with many of our parts, straight from the service manuals.

The hardware we provide, which is 10.9 - we spec them for torque that matches the OEM spec.

Wonder what the docs on the OPG or timing gears looks like. I think after the weekend when I have more time, I'll take a dive on the 72-hour access.

I am pretty sure I have the pages from the service manual for all of that.

Shoot me an email and I will try and forward them over to you tomorrow.

I did the OPG install back in October, and I used all of the documentation that was available at the time when performing the install.

E-Mail sent! Much appreciated!

Do they still offer a 72 hour subscription? I can't seem to find it, and the original links aren't working for me. Is the $177 CD the same thing that I accessed when I used my 72 hour subscription?

Thanks in advance!

I also did this for my 2015 mustang and 2015 F150 however I got lazy and used this link to order a complete manual for my 2017

Granted you can just download yourself but it is very time consuming and to me the $ is well spent.

For that link does it also show how to take apart car, where fasteners are?
What is difference between the $177 & $69 one?

I asked if they were one time use torque to yield bolts before any suspension mods came out and got no response.

Easy enough to calculate if you know the thread size and bolt grade...this is assume the bolt doesn't have any unique features like an undercut for example.

It's he entire manual showing all procedures, specs and torque values. Basically your paying $69 for them to access your information based on your vin and download EVERY page to one massive 8000 page manual.

Hyperlinks won't work but you can search the PDF for what you are tring to do to get around fairly quickly. Mine is over 8,000 pages and would have taken me months to download one at a time and doing it myself the hyperlinks wouldn't work either.

just buy the manual, it ain't that expensive.
