Save you money. Buy the factory service manual it has a lot more info.



800-890-4038



The manual isn't listed online. But if you call they can get it for you.



The last haynes manual I used on a car was close to worthless.

The # listed above is for TechAuthority.com, which is Chrysler's online source for automotive literature. They've discontinued the 1st. Gen. manuals, you can get them from Geno's.

questions??

Hey Philip and payck, thanks for the advice, i bought a haynes manual for my 24V and well it has helped alot, i will check genos as i have to order filters for the 12V.

Questions i had is after yesterdays rejection on inspection here is what i need to replace.

How hard are the front and rear brakes to replace, take in mind i do my own on the '00 going to pick the pads up this morning for the '92.

Next i need to replace the drag link for the steering i couldn't argue with the guy its sloppy in the joints and safety is a big thing with me, what are the torgue specs on those nuts for that part?

Last thing is he told me the steering right before it goes into the steering box there is a square rectangle looking box i was told that their is a kit to fix that and the guy told me i could do it easily myself any ideas or info is greatly appreciated... This morning frosty as the dickens, first cycle of the grid heaters she fired off and ran but a little rough and kept running a little pressure and i mean a little on the go pedal and she smoothed right out, this 12V warms up faster than my 24V i believe...

Well im off to get parts and just anyone chime in on any of the above.



Thanks

I agree the factory manual is much better then the Haynes, but it depends on what you want the book for. For general info and simple repairs the Haynes will do the job. I had no problem finding mine at the store. In case you need to order it the Haynes manual is ISBN 1 53692 202 9

The brakes are easy! Don't forget to get the hardware kit for the fronts.

uh oh!! i sure hope you meant the rears, i know there is the spring and ratainer clip for the rears. . well if the front ones need the kit then im SOL i didn't know that, I will look at them when i take them off here in a few min.

As for the haynes manual i thought it to be pretty informative for general work done by oneself... I will get the manual from Geno's and probably get the '00 also when monies allow...

Does anyone know the torqe specs for the nuts on the drag link bar, i picked one up and its a hell of alot beefier than the factory and has grease zerks

The 5. 9L Diesel isn't covered in the 92 Haynes Manual. You will need to get the 93 and up manual for motor info and the 92 and down for other pertinent data.

front brakes are on!

is it typical for the drivers side outside pad to wear alot more than the inside, passengers side had even wear... what a job, but i got it done, next time i will have the proper tools LOL... .

Didn't get to the back to check them or get that drag link put on but there is tomorrow, yeah while its frigin snowing and blowing wind :-laf

I hadn't heard the FSM went N/A from Dodge.



Our trucks have ben known for calipers sticking on the mounts. This could explain the wear on the outer pad. Be sure to clean the caliper and mounting bracket. Then apply some caliper lube to strop it from sticking agin.
