Where to buy Factory Service Manual for 2017 Ram 3500 4x4

[bcbender]

Hey all, reviving this thread since I want to install my Aux tank and would like to have the manual on hand now and in the future..... I went to Tech Authority but I get conflicting information... I put in the VIN # and it says nothing available, I search service manuals and there is one for the 3500 D2 which I believe it what I have, but that's it, there is no wiring manual for 20 (19 is listed) and there are soo many other choices its confusing..... I simply want the same 2000+ page manual that I have for my 04 that has served me well over the past decade,, I don't mind paying, but don't want to be nickeled and dimed by multiple orders to get the relevant information.

Here are all the options, again I can only get "options" when selecting 2020 RAM 3500...

D2 would be correct for your needs. That's the code for P/U. I too was confused when I ordered mine just a couple weeks ago.

yeah that is what I was thinking, did you get yours yet? The wiring manual is not available yet it says.. but for basic things would those be the only things I need?

They had both of mine for the '14. You might want to send them an email about wiring manual. They were quick in response to the couple times that I contacted them about manuals and diesel supplement that wasn't with my truck when I bought it. Wiring can help figure out some issues along with service. To many things in these trucks now to not have manuals!

I know that there was no manual available for my 2015 for over a year after I purchased the truck.

yeah.. I can wait a little while to try to get a package deal on the manuals. I only have 3500mi on it now, first oil change will be in June, then first service probably in the fall.

The following is only proposed as an example, and should not be construed as a method or recommendation to circumvent any security methods employed to protect copyrighted documents.
If the DVD/USB allows printing, you could use a program that allows you to print to PDF and then store the pages... I've used this one before with good success: Cutepdf . Of course, the printed page cannot be searched using CTRL-F, which isn't convenient but you'll have the page you can save for personal use.
If you have an older version of Acrobat pro, you could then do an OCR on the document and it will become searchable again. In theory, this might work.

Has anyone used the 7 day full access subscription option on the techauthority web site? Can the information be "saved" for personal use?

@GBergen , The subscription allows access but you can't save information, but you can print it out page by page. I've printed the info i need to work on truck to have instead of going back and forth to keyboard! the only thing that I don't like about the wiring diagrams is the fact there is no full flow wiring chart. Just connectors and color coding, which is helpful, but would be nice to see full road map. The location pictures are helpful.
