I got a case of sticker shock when I went to dodge.com

I want a full manual like I used to get for 75 bucks from the dealer for my trucks.

Any suggestions?

 

The dodge manual is the way to go-chilton,hayes, they have an ok(at best) amount of info. Personaly, Time and time again they have lacked the vital info I needed--waste of $$$$$

 

I would go to Genos Garage and order the service manuals from there. They have them in book or CD..

 

also www.techauthority.com

 

I get mine from Ebay.

 

I registered my truck's VIN # at ALLDATA website for about $25 for the 1st yr. & my renewal this yr. cost me about $17.

This is the way to go nowadays, as the factory service manuals have gotten ridiculously expensive!

Hemi, what year truck are we talking?

The newer they are, the more they figure you have the sheckels.........

 

Did an eBay search for a 1992 manual. The site's overloaded with factory service manuals for the little imported Ram 50s.
There may be more manuals out there than there are trucks - nothing left but the manuals sitting on bookshelves.
I see first gen Rams every day, but can't remember the last time I saw a Ram 50.

 

With labor rates at $70/hr, the factory manual is still a bargain even at a ridiculous price.

 

I agree 100%. Like most education it can cost up front, but can pay you back tremendously over time. All you have to do is use it.

Being a newbie, it's amazing how different these diesels are compared to the gas engines I'm familiar with.
There's so much new technology to learn, and the Haynes/Chilton manuals aren't big on explaining that.
My Chilton mostly just stays on the bookshelf, and this site is my main source of education.
If I wasn't getting laid off next month, I'd spring for the factory manual.

But DTR is an excellent substitute for me, and better in a lot of ways:
- additional info from the great folks here, just for the asking
- 'sticky's with cool ways to improve your truck
- being able to check out what others do with their trucks
- great advice on getting the best parts and accessories for your money
and on and on. Plus, it's free!

Since I found this site a few months ago, I'm enjoying my truck more than ever. And I always liked it a lot.
I'll get the factory manual eventually, but for now I'm learning a tremendous amount right here, and having fun, too.
The CTD is still mysterious to me, but nothing like before.

 

Somebody asked what truck I've got that I want the manuals for: 2008 2500 HD 4WD 6.7 L Cummins Quad Cab.

 

Genos has the paper manual for $450 and the CD for $120. Same info just need a computer for the CD.
