This CD-ROM based manual has not improved from the paper-version. I had difficulty finding the correct info for a particular year's model (F150) and the actual component and the illustration in the book did not match. Chilton's products are good for general info only but fall short in covering some of vital info.

One thing I was appalled about this CD-ROM set-up is that you can choose only one model and once you decide on a model, other models cannot be accessed in your PC (If you chose F150, the manuals for all other models cannot be accessed). I wouldn't mind this manual to be $100 if it allowed access to all models.

Overall, I am very satisfied w/the product. The information is great, it covers a vast amount of topics. I did not think it was too user friendly. Somethings were very confusing. As far as information is concerned, I would give the product, 4 out of 5 stars. It could use more illustrations though. I give the product 2 out of 5 stars for its user friendliness or lack there of. Navigating through the CD was pretty simple, but everything else was a little confusing. I can see how it would be difficult for someone to use, if they had limited computer skills.
