Just bought a 97 318 Dakota Sport (wish it had extra cab).

I have some smogg issues...a misfire in hole 7 and front O2 sensor reporting bad info.

Got the parts.

Would like a service manual other than the $100 job I've found on line.

one of the publishers offers a $20 subscription to an online tech manual. (a Haynes manual covering the truck would probably cost the same).

Any suggestions which to choose?

Well, sone nobody suggested anything...I bought several.

the Haynes is the more useful book than the Chilton.

Both have errors.

still useful to have both for the explanations differ.

I have the dealer service manual on a CD. I can ship you a copy for $12. It covers every inch of the truck including electrical. It covers 97-04. Send an email if interested. Steve1752@yahoo.com

Correction: my manual says 97-04 but it only covers 4 engines: 5.9, 4.7, 3.9, 2.5. For some reason the 318 (5.2) isn't in it.

ebay? I bought a "1997-2000" factory manual on PDF. It is for a 2000 vehicle, my engine is not even listed.

I bought a Chilton book that was supposed to cover my 97 but was for a Gen 1.

And feedback is useless these days.

Amazon had what I needed for less money and quicker shipping.
