Default Just Got an '01 Ranger Service Manual + Electrical Diagrams

Got the whole set on eBay for ~50 bucks

I'd like to share the wealth so if anybody wants me to look something up for them, post here or PM me.

Peace

I bought one for my 05 comes in handy. I now have access to my work computer with service manuals at the tip of my fingers.

I picked up a set to my '07 when I bought it, always had a set for my '98 even though I have never needed it. Picked up a set for my Mustang because I could, and one for my Suzuki. The Yamaha is proving to be a little more difficult...

I always like having the service manual not really because its necessary but cause it's the vehicles own language if you know what I mean. It's like the baseline; or the "standard" of maintenance. There's sooo much detail that the Haynes and Chiltons just don't have. And while the forums can be a real life saver, sometimes the average joe DIY's leave important details out, like torque specs and "gotchas."

Some of the things in the service manuals really make me scratch my head though. That's where the forums come in - I like doing service with both forum DIY guides and the service manual side by side.
Y'all come up with some clever tricks and tips that save time and cash.
