Smile Best rebuild manual?

I am going to embark on re-building a 2004.5 and would like to find out which manual is the most highly recommended?
I have rebuilt several different gas engines and one VW diesel over the last 20 years. This truck engine has a bad #6 cylinder that will have to be sleeved and new piston installed. It is only showing 140,000 miles and the engine was already pulled when I obtained it. Also has a bad turbo, shaft very wobbly . I have a good machine shop that I will have do the sleeve work and go over the head while it is off.
Any pointers or advice appreciated.
Now, off to look for an engine stand that will hold all that weight!
Thanks --

Do a search and download the mopar manual. I recently did that to fix my apps and it also had very good coverage of the CTD. Craig
