Is it just me or are theses things just a bunch of goobly gook, Its like you have to f&cking near be a mechanic already to fallow them, they are definitly to vague for me, maybe I'm just to stunt to fallow them, the pics are the s#its, you'd think they could get a better pic than some shadowy dark picture you can hardly make out, I usually end up throwing that b!tch in the corner, and just dive in

I'm not talking about shop manuals, I'm talking about chilton and haynes or clymer, the ones that say do it yourself with the help of this 30 dollar book

usually these trucks can be fixed with a coat hanger and a roll of duct tape! That is if they ever break! The new ones are the ones that need the repair books.

actully Phillip thats what i was working on was a newer truck my 1991 ford f-150 piece of s#it i agree with you on theses older ones, I can almost fix anything on a pre 80's, but some of this new stuff gets me baffled sometimes, specially when your a back yard mechanic like me
