OK,
I have owned this truck for nearly 18 months & 26k mi., it's time to get serious about maintenance, not to mention the mods I want to do. So....

Which is the best/preferred shop manual that provides the best info for the DIY mechanic?

thanks, pacmule

 

I bought a Chilton manual when I first got my truck, which for was pretty much a waste of $20. I then bought a factory service manual from Geno's Garage, which was a worthwhile investment, even though it was four times the cost of the Chilton manual.
IMHO, the printed version run circles around the CD version, as you can page through it and jump around in it much easier in a book than on a computer.

 

Factory Dodge Manual is the best but pricey. I have a Hayden and I think it works well. I much prefer Hayden over Chilton. Chilton doesn't explain things as well and I often find myself searching for torque specs etc...
