I only know how to change oil, spark plugs, tires, air filter, thermostat, etc ...

I know nothing of true mechanics & toubleshooting

I found this repository of do it yourself guides

http://www.books-online-store.net/no...air/33413.html
Automotive Technology: A Systems Approach looks good
Auto Fundamentals, also

I heard that Chilton's sucks and Haine's is better

Does anyone know of any decent books that teach HOW to troubleshoot

& the actual repairing TECHNIQUES?

I drive a '96 V6 3.0 Ford Ranger gasser and was wondering if there are any
Sovereign Gearheads who can aid in my mechanical sovereignty
