Anyone heard of Zofti?
« on: August 19, 2020, 10:36:32 PM »
I called home this afternoon at my break and DW told me she'd just bought me a new (to me) truck.  Anyway, that's a whole 'nother story.

In searching online for manuals for it I ran across a site I've never heard of called Zofti.  Since I'm hesitant to download from unknown websites, and the grammar on the page for the manual isn't quite right*, I thought I'd see if anyone's familiar with that site.

Here's a link to the manual:  https://en.zofti.com/dodge-ram-repair-service-manual/download






*I know, my grammar ain't all that great.

I've not heard of it, but I do know my dad's computer got a virus from a similar site, and it was a PITA to remove. If they have you download anything that isn't a .pdf, like a special "viewer" program, run far away.

It appears to be a primarily Spanish language site run by a media corporation in Argentina. The translation from Spanish to English could very well explain the grammar.  Grudemi (the parent org) has more of an internet presence but it's mostly Spanish, so I can't really tell you if it's good or not.

The one I looked at came as a pdf, and appears to be a straight black and white scan of the 2016 Mustang owners manual.

Probably pretty safe.

Owners manual or some type of service manual?

Download dodge RAM service and repair manual for free in pdf document ...

At 68mb it should be a fairly complete manual. 

Still have to search out/find an owners manual for the "how to make this happen" kind of stuff - like how to start/stop the 4 wheel drive, etc.  I'll check out eBay for that one, it'd be nice to have it on paper.  Or maybe it'll be with the truck; not sure how well I like this whole "buy it online" business....

If it's not with the truck, go to the mfg web site. Most automakers offer the owner's manual as a free download. Ford offers it in both PDF and as an HTML document.
