What would be the best overall manual for servicing our trucks. From the motor all the way to the tires.

Philip

A factory service manual is your best bet. Dodge doesn't stock them anymore for our trucks. Geno's garage does.

I bought the entire 3 volume set for about 100.00 on ebay, they are authorized repros...Mark

Bishko Books has them as well. And there's plenty on fleabay used as well as other book sellers.

I have a CD, but I believe there are more than just 1? Mine is "Service Manual D&W 150-350 Ramcharger" It has plenty of diesel and gas job info in there, but isn't there a seperate diesel "troubleshoot" CD or something? I find the one I have is pretty nice.


BTW to the OP, I got mine on Ebay... I think $30-$50, can't recall. Worth it, better than the Chilton or Haynes one I have which is pretty thin and supposed to be for 1981-1998 rams and dakotas or something ridiculous!!

I have the Haynes 85-93 Dodge Pick-Up (no Diesel) and 94-99 Dodge Pick-Up (has Diesel), to cover chassis stuff plus engine. Those plus our stickies keep me out of too much trouble, ...

I thought it was only one book? What other two do you have? I may need to go shopping

The ones that I have are 2 for the truck and 1 for the engine, which is here

Okay, my truck is 91, and they just released one volume, that contains the cummins engine too. I also see there is a supplement for 1991. I always thought that was for the changes made in 91.5.

I have the 92 version and it has the diesel information in it. There are a total of 25 chapters in my 92 manual.

The early 1st Gens have the regular FSM and a FSM Diesel Supplement, the later 1st Gens have all in one FSM, FWIW the 92 or 93 has the Getrag rebuild info that none of the others had. Someone will chime in and point out which year that was...

Then you can get Cummins Operator and Maintenance Manuals which are fun but not as detailed as the Chrysler FSM's. Cummins also has year specific part books for the Dodge Cummins.

And if you search fleabay, amazon etc you might be interested in an actual Mopar part book for your year truck, approx. 6-8 inch thick with schematics and old p/n's etc. I like them just for the schematic breakdowns..
