Welcome aboard!



The factory service manual is a very worthwhile investment... I wouldn't want to be without one. If I have to choose one over the other, I'd go with the the CD version because it's so much easier to search for things in a pdf reader, and you can still print pages when you need to have them out at the truck. I have and use both.



I also highly recommend the 3 different Dodge Diagnostic Procedures Manuals for your truck: Powertrain, Chassis, and Body. These are smaller (thinner) than the service manual are invaluable for troubleshooting difficult problems.



Best regards,

In addition to Geno's (highly recommended), both factory service manuals and factory diagnostic procedures manuals can be purchased through Chrysler TechAuthority Online.

i have the paper FSM and the CD for my 99.
I like browsing the paper fsm, but the CD is great since I can print what I need, make notes and bring it out with me without ripping those super thin pages in the FSM, and greasing them up. .
