Repair manual

Any recommendations for a repair manual for 95 Ram Cummins? Haynes and Chilton makes them. Others? Any good?

I called a dealer one time, talked to parts and they gave me a phone number to buy a dealer manual. I say it's been several years since I called so the number is long gone. I think they are the ones that make all the dealer manuals, or print them. They told me to call and I could order one directly. If I think of the name I'll try and post it.

I'd spend the money and get the dealer manual, A LOT more info than Haynes or Chiltons will ever have. I've used those and dealer manuals and there is no comparison. The dealer manual will be specific for that year whereas the other two will have several years and I have found out that the wiring schematics in haynes/chiltons leave a lot to be desired of.

i own the Daimler Chrysler Service Manual for my 99' Dodge and it has everything in it. Actually on the original receipt in the book it says that it cost 106.43. The number on the inside cover is (800) 890-4038 and the fax is (440) 572-0815. I don't know how valid they are but you could try it.

Haynes are good for quick reference, but a Dodge factory manual has everything. You can get them in a book or CD, from Geno's Garage, or from Dodge directly:

I had to use a Haynes manual a few weeks ago, what a worthless piece of trash.
Get the factory service manual from https://techauthority.gltghosting.co...atalogId=10051
The '95 manuals have actually dropped considerably in price in the last year to $59.

I have a Service manual on CD for my '98 that has an obscene amount of information in it, from step by step engine overhauls to step by step tansmission overhauls of all models Theres 2889 pages in it for a 69,706 KB file on the computer.............


Don't waste you time with a chiltons or Haynes.
