2015 Factory Service Manual/CD....when?

[kthaxton]

I've been one to always buy an FSM for my vehicles. Since I bought my '15 last October, I've checked the tech authority website about every month to see if they've made the CD available yet....but nothing. How long does it usually take? Are they even selling them anymore?

Ever year model I've bought for every vehicle I've owned had access to a FSM with in 3 months at the latest.
Check with the dealer, if anyone knows, they would. Then look for the best place for the best deal.

And I feel naked if I don't have the FSM for any of my vehicles in my hands.

The dealers do not have CD manuals, they have the online system only, DealerConnect/TechConnect.

Just got off the phone with my local dealership parts department. They can get the 2014 2500 manuals in CD, cost, $130.00. He said Dodge found out they lost interest in the way they were doing it, selling sections as they were for $300+ per section, and went back to the full version on CD. The dealers were stuck getting them that way since the manufacture just shipped it to them and sent a bill. The HAD to have them to work.

The 2015 are not out yet, and he guess they should be available when the 2016 models are out for sale. That has been the pattern for prior years. So anyone who owns a 2015 should be able to get one soon.

Thanks for the info.

I went to the Techauthority website and the 2015 service manual CD is there. The manuals for our trucks are listed under "Dodge", not "Ram". The CDs use a web interface and are terrible compared to the old printed manuals and the older CDs that had a PDF identical to the printed manual. But that is all there is.

Wow, they literally must have just put that up in the last day or two. I checked it just before I started this thread and I have been searching under "Dodge" all along because "Ram" doesn't bring up anything. Thanks!

The description says it doesn't include traditional wiring diagrams, does anyone know a source for those?
