OK, since it looks like it's gonna take me some time to find the right truck, I thought it might be wise to take this time to further my knowledge on these trucks & CTD engines.

Where can I find a service manual for both the trucks and also the CTD engine and drivetrain?

I'd probably be looking for one between 99-01 model years.

Also, what should I expect to pay for these manual(s)?

thanks for all your guys help.

This site has been a great reference for me.

 

From the gettin' place! They are more expensive than a Haynes or a Chilton, but they are worth every penny. Way more info, much more detail, and accurate wiring diagrams.

 

I have a haynes manual and it serves the purpose you can get them at autozone I think it was about 20.00

 

Check the clasifieds, I just posted one Friday for a 99.
