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 2005 Ford Freestar documents the same pair of pushrod V6 engines as the year before, the 4.2L of 256 cubic inches and the 3.9L of 238 cubic inches, in a minivan sold as a four-door passenger van and a four-door cargo van. Nine trims are listed, from Base and S through the two LX grades to Limited and Sport. The manual works engine by engine for tune-up and rebuild data and van-wide for suspension, brakes, body and wiring.

Known issues on the 2005 Freestar. Four recalls stand on the federal record. One covers the torque converter output shaft, whose failure causes a sudden loss of drive. Another concerns power liftgates: the motor disengages once the gate is open, so a failing strut lets the gate fall freely on anyone beneath it. A third involves third row seats that may not latch. Owners have filed 886 complaints with NHTSA, and the great majority of them are power train reports. The transmission, liftgate and seat procedures in this manual are the ones that answer them.
