(Hide Review...)  Every car owner should have one
Reviewer Permalink
Delivery to Norway in time as promised. This is a great book for the do it yourself car owner. Everything is easily explained and illustrated, and even if you don't intend to do it yourself you can diagnose problems and understand what the mechanic is doing. It will help you controll that the right thing is done, and that the mechanic is not fooling you. I have a Chilton Manual for each car I own, and could not be without them!

(Hide Review...)  Absolutely HORRIBLE manual
Reviewer Permalink
******One-star is NOT LOW ENOUGH*******

Received book as Christmas gift couple years ago. I have a 1998 Explorer, and I continue to be frustrated by this sorry excuse for a manual.....erroneous info, and complete lack of depth. As I found out late last night, something as simple as documenting a fuse-box is complete garbage.

I've also owned Haynes manuals, and seem to have had better luck with them.

I can't imagine anyone who would be pleased with this manual, unless you require instructions on how to top up the wiper fluid.

(Hide Review...)  1991-99 Ford Explorer Repair Manual
Reviewer Permalink
In section 6 the information for the windshield wiper motor is not applicable to my 1996 explorer. Also, there is no information about how to remove / replace the windshield washer spray nozzles. Or how to remove the cowling along the base of the windshield.

(Hide Review...)  Chilton's has lost touch with reality.
Reviewer Permalink
I purchased this book for needed factual, accurate information of which I got neither. I wanted to replace the lower ball joints on my '99 Ranger, so I bought this book. Take note: on page 8-4 it states specifically that the 1998-99 Ranger does NOT have coil springs. This of course is hogwash as my '99 most definitely has coil springs. In addition, it states on page 8-8 that the ball joint is an integral part of the lower control arm. This, too, is complete hogwash. Please be advised that this book is RIFE with erroneous information - including any pictures contained therein. I have lost all faith in Chilton's ability to present the correct information on ANY automobile.

(Hide Review...)  Computer Module? This book only lists ONE!
Reviewer Permalink
There are several computer modules on my ford explorer. I bought this book to list them, and guess what, It lists just one. And its detailed instructions on how to access that module was "remove dash to expose computer module" and no diagrams. I dont know about you, but behind MY dash is a Buttload of stuff behind my dash, and not only that, but my dash comes apart in sections, so just what section I wonder?

Useless! Breaks it covers fairly well, good thing that the explorer, ranger, and mountaineer all use the same breaking system(cough cough)cause it lists just one way.

Good thing the electronic diagrams are the same for all the vehicle types(cough cough) for all listed vehicles from 1991 to 1999 as it onlyu lists one vehicle schematic, otherwise Id be lost.

Good thing there was a mechanic within calling distance to put back together everything I ripped out per the chiltons book, otherwise Id be walking.......

(Hide Review...)  Very thorough
Reviewer Permalink
I liked this book because I was tired of taking my Explorer to the shop. I was also very curious as to what made my Explorer tick, since there are so many computer modules inside. I reccomend this book to anyone who wants to repair their own Ford and save a bundle.
