1.0 out of 5 stars inadequate for more than casual glance, June 3, 1999

By A Customer

I have been sorely disapointed in the entire series of the Chilton "Total Care " line of books. Many of us who purchase these manuals are familiar whith the much older Chilton manuals and these books are nothing like them. Often the books are under illustrated(or offer generic advice) and frankly do not even describe the same vehicle or it's components. I have been a professional mechanic for many years and cannot recommend this book for anyone who is serious about repairing their own vehicle. It will however suit those wishing merely to change their own oil and filter and perhaps the occasional (gasp) tire. The Haynes manual series is far superior in every resect for the more serious owner. Chilton professioanl products are still good but expensive and not readily available to the consumer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Limited references to later models, April 6, 1999

By	[e-mail] (San Francisco Bay Area) - See all my reviews

Although the book is advertised as a repair guide for 1991-1997 Ford Explorers, the information for the later models is limited. Few of the drawings and none of the photographs reflect the 1995 through 1997 vehicles. I purchased the book in order to make repairs to my 1996 Explorer, and was truly disappointed with the quality of the instructions in relation to my vehicle.

1.0 out of 5 stars Frustratingly skimpy, October 5, 2001

By	Michael W. Henson (St Louis) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If your serious about maintaining your own Explorer or Ranger, this book will frustrate rather than enlighten you. Not much more informative than the owners manual in the glove compartment. I wound up recycling mine. The diagrams and illustrations are inadequate and the instructions come up short. I you really want to maintain your engine and body you're going to have to spring for an OEM Service Manual.
