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 2006 Ford Freestar drops the trim count to seven, keeping Base, Limited, the two LX grades, SE, SEL and Sport across a four-door mini passenger van and a four-door mini cargo van. The engines are unchanged, a naturally aspirated 4.2L V6 of 256 cubic inches and a 3.9L V6 of 238 cubic inches, both with overhead valves. Their service data is presented separately, while the automatic transmission, brake, steering and body chapters cover every version of the van.

Known issues on the 2006 Freestar. Three recalls are on federal record. One concerns third row seats that can be left unlatched, which raises the risk of injury in a rear-end collision. Another covers the power liftgate, where the motor disengages after the gate is powered open so a strut failure can let it drop without warning. The third is an aftermarket fuel filter campaign. Owners have filed 356 complaints with NHTSA, most of them about the power train, then the electrical system and the seats. Transmission, liftgate and seat work is all specified in this manual.
