Helm makes all the Ford ones. Whenever someone wants to buy manuals here I just send them to the website since they charge the same if it is the dealer or a vehicle owner ordering.
Where to buy car repair manuals ?

In lieu of a factory service manual, I used to buy from Bishko. I purchased FSM's for the Camaro and Legend on CD-ROM.

I few years ago, I spent the money for a monthly subscription ($90)? to Toyota Information Service (TIS) and spent the month downloading everything I could for the Lexus; service manual, new car highlights, electrical, body service, etc.

Seems to be a subscription based deal now. Helm redirects you to the below site, where you can buy 72 hours of access for $21.95. However, I'm not sure if that 72 hour access will actually let you download anything. I'd be happy to pay if I could have some assurance that I can download the relevent manuals for my 2010 Navigator. I need to troubleshoot the air suspension.

Some of the manuals are online only as they don't make print ones for some older applications. I just went to helminc.com and they had a print wiring diagram available for my Mustang still.
I was referring to the 2010 Lincoln Navigator in my signature. I don't see any paper manuals available online for it anywhere on the Helm site, but, if your 14 Mustang is still on there, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Do you have them/can you get them at your dealership? I'm willing to pay for shipping...
I don't really want to take on a 2nd car payment so I'd like to fix this Navigator. But I can't be driving around town with this Carolina Squat going on.
Ok was curious to find any paperback repair manuals.. found some..
here's the listing for some haynes, but look further down you'll find the Ford/Lincoln shop manuals, most are used, but who cares?!

I have the factory Helm manuals for my GM vehicles and have Alldata DIY for my 2014 Mustang. I also recently bought a subscription for my 98 Chevy K1500 because Alldata is way easier to navigate than the factory manuals and I like their wiring diagrams which are easier to find.
I also have Haynes and Chilton's manuals for all of the vehicles which are sometimes uselful. I buy a lot of the paper manuals off of Ebay.

Ditto for eBay for me for the used F-150 I recently bought. I got the paper copy of the 2004-2014 F-150 Haynes repair manual and the owner's manual (which was not supplied with the truck) on eBay for roughly $35 each (which included shipping). Both came in brand new condition. A bit on the expensive side but I like to have the info available.

I was pretty impressed with Alldata DIY and Mitchell 1 DIY when comparing to the CD version of the FSM for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The index and layout is slightly different, however, all of the repair procedures, graphics, and tables appear to have been taken straight from the FSM. They also have an up to date list of TSB's, labor time estimates, and other features that don't come with the CD version of the FSM.
As a gearhead DIYer Haynes and Chilton are poor. I use Alldata for my personal fleet. Need a diagram or specs just print what you need.
