I need to do a few things to the truck and need a manual. I'm going to get the factory manual, is there any special one for the engine or does the one book cover it all?

This is the right book I need?


Cheers

 

That should cover most things. My 2001 FSM covers the engine. But I have heard on here that it is also a good thing to get the actual manual for the engine from cummins.

 

That's the one. Get it from www.techauthority.com
What's cool about the FSM for '95 is that the price has dropped by half in the last couple of years.
You may also want to pick up the diagnostic manual while you're at it, costs about $10.
It's made for use with a scanner but with our 12 valves all you usually need is a voltmeter.

 

Thanks guys. Infidel, the diagnostic manual that your talking about is the 1994 -1995 5.9L CUMMINS DIESEL TRUCK DIAGNOSTIC MANUAL ?

Cheers
Ry

 

That's the one

 

Oh get the one on CD. Mine is and I just print the pages i need.

 

Thanks, now it's credit card time.
2500CTD, I'm not a fan of the CD's. I have both CD and paper manuals for my bikes and find that I use the book alot more. The way I do it is just scan the sections that involve getting dirty and pitch them when I'm done. The other thing is, I like having it with the truck just in case something happens on the road.

Cheers

 

Geno's Garage also has the service manuals, but not the diagnostic manuals.

Are the CD manuals in Adobe PDF format, or do they have some kind of web-based interactive menu (which I hate). I haven't decided wether to get the book or the CD.

 

I find with many repairs you have to skip around to various places in the manual, especially with electrical.
With a cd it's often a pain in the rear.

 

Oh yea, thats the bad with the CD's. Alot of my older cars I have the books. Just have the CD's for our CTD and the wife's SRT4. I did pick up one for a Challenger and 75 Power Wagon I had. The PW had a electrical gremlins. I just printed the whole electrical section. That was a PITA however.
