I have seen in the back of my owners manual that I can order a service manual for 90 bucks. Are these good detailed manuals that cover EVERYTHING on the truck, from interior to exterior? I sure hope they are better than Chiltons or Haynes manuals. Can someone help me out?

same as what the dealership mechnics use when you take it in for service. remeber that it willnot give every simple thing it assumes you know a little about mechanics. it want tell you there a x number of bolt and so on but it will give you ten times the info of after market manuals. is it worth the money yes

I have been getting factory ser. manuals for the last 5 out of six new vehicles I've acquired. I usually wait untill the next model year is introduced before I order them such as "00" manual ordered June "00".That way usually any
mid year changes are in it.

Get it if you want to know how your truck works. I think one of the most useful tools is all the diagnostic charts...even if you don't do your own repairs they give you an idea of what might be causing a problem before taking it to a dealer, and since the service guys follow the diagnostic charts, you'll know what they're going to look at.

Does anyone have a 2001 Service manual on CD? They sell them at http://www.techauthority.daimlerchrysler.com/
If anyone has the CD is it copy protected? I mean can you copy it on a cd burner? I might be willing to pay for a copy if I can get it for way less than the $90 chrysler sells it for.
Thanks

I don't know what year you are looking for... but there is one in the parts for sale section of dodgetrucks.org, I think he wants 20 or 30 bucks for it. It's a 97, great price, I paid $70 for mine.

I got a 02 manual for christmas from my parents and it has the 2.4, 3.9, 5.2, 4.7, and 5.9 litre engines, great book. I never bother with Haynes or Chiltons, unless it's not my car I'm working with and they buy it (9 bucks online with shipping).

Wolf, not too sure but I think there is a 'How-To' section of this webstie. Larry, a dodge mechanic guru, did a write up on the timing chain thing. His truck I think is a little newer than yours but might just work. Check out the homepage of this site. Its about half way down I think.

Got mine off ebay. Factory manuals. 25 and 40 bucks . Nice shape used. I also bought a CD manual off ebay and it's total garbage. Maybe there are differant makers of these. I don't know. I was able to copy my CD no problem. I do this with everything I get that is copiable and use the copies myself rather then the original so if I screw one up I can just recopy.

So many problems ... So little time
