It's maybe a little helpful, but the Dodge FSM is way better. Operation and maintenance doesn't cover any heavy repair, for that you need the "troubleshooting & repair" manual. Don't pay any more than $25 shipped, you can get it from Cummins for about that much. If you already have a Haynes or Chilton for the truck this would be a handy addition, but if you haven't bought any manuals yet, hold out for a Dodge FSM.

Well, like I said, this one is pretty basic, but if the most you're going to do is oil changes and valve adjustments it'll do you fine. As long as you're not trying to pull the head or change the pump it's OK. The Chilton and Haynes cover the rest of the truck sorta OK. Just don't get excited and pay too much.

Just order it from Cummins, it will be there in a couple of days. Buy here. You want P/N TR-3666087.

Not sure what your looking for but when I bought mine a couple years ago it was $85.00 from Helm. That is the complete factory Dodge service manual and the diesel troubleshooting supplement.

The cummins manual suggested by wannadiesel is the way to go if you ask me. It is more like a complete technical manual for the engine than anything else I have seen. Very helpful. I

I have the hayne's manual as well for the truck, and it doesn't even come close to the cummins manual where the engine is concerned. It's pricey though. Best of luck.
