Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

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.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2004 Ford Taurus covers LX, SE, SEL and SES, four trims, in the four-door wagon and the four-door sedan. Two naturally aspirated 3.0L V6 engines are documented, the OHV V6 for flex-fuel or gasoline and the DOHC V6 for gasoline. The book provides procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for each engine and for the two bodies, keeping the OHV and DOHC data apart and noting where the wagon's rear structure differs from the sedan's.

Known issues on the 2004 Taurus. Two recalls are on federal record. One concerns power adjustable front seats that may have been inadequately welded and might not hold as intended in a crash; the other covers aftermarket replacement front brake pads sold under several brand names, which can damage or break a brake disc and cut braking power. Owners have registered 375 complaints with NHTSA, and vehicle speed control is by far the largest group, followed by the power train and the electrical system. The manual's speed control diagnostics, power train procedures, seat torque values and brake specifications cover those areas.
