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.

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.

This factory service and repair manual for the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty is for the XL, XLT and Lariat trims of a chassis cab built as a four-door crew cab, a two-door conventional cab or a four-door extended cab, with a choice of the 6.7L V8 turbo diesel, an overhead valve engine of 406 cubic inches, or the 6.8L V10, a naturally aspirated SOHC gasoline engine of 415 cubic inches.

Known issues on the 2018 F-550 Super Duty. Only one of this year's eight recalls came from Ford; the rest from the companies that built emergency bodies on the chassis. Ford's covers the block heater cable, where water in the splice connector can corrode it into a resistive short; the upfitter campaigns concern brake lights that can illuminate without the pedal pressed and back-up camera monitors that can reset and show a reversed image. Owners have logged eight complaints with NHTSA, two each on the structure and steering and one on the power train. The manual's wiring diagrams for the block heater and lighting circuits and its steering and power train procedures cover those systems.
