The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Ford E-250 Econoline is written for Custom and XL trims in four bodies: extended and standard passenger vans and standard and extended cargo vans. Three gasoline engines are covered, the 5.8L OHV V8, the 5.0L OHV V8 and the 4.9L OHV inline-six. Because the same running gear sits under a windowed passenger van and a bare-walled cargo van, the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics in this book are grouped by system and carry the body differences where they arise.

Engines covered

  • 5.8L V8 (351 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 5.0L V8 (302 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 4.9L inline-six (300 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door extended passenger van
  • 2-door standard passenger van
  • 2-door standard cargo van
  • 2-door extended cargo van

Trims covered

  • Custom
  • XL

Known issues on the 1987 E-250 Econoline. Five recalls stand on the federal record. Severe-duty operation is behind one of them, with underhood temperatures and fuel system pressures able to expel fuel from the filler pipe. Another covers fuel escaping past a vapor valve grommet that can split at the top of the front tank. A third, from an aftermarket supplier, involves replacement fuel pumps that could leak and create a fire hazard. Owners have logged 15 complaints with NHTSA, weighted toward the service brakes, the fuel system and speed control. Brake, fuel and speed control work all have procedures, specifications and wiring diagrams here.
