Received product as stated. Product is helpful for the novice mechanic. it was exactly as stated and had all pages included with minor use.
This was purchased as a gift for my father-in-law, as he is working on a restoration project. From my discussions with him, this guide has been a tremendous asset to him. There are a few instances where OEM part numbers are not used, but the guide is complete with wiring diagrams as well as schematics and awesome pictures to guide you through repairs and replacements.
good for do it your self mechanic
My son has a ’79 JEEP CJ. This is the book
that will help him get it going:-) AND it was here for
Christmas!
I chose this item because I am doing a light restoration on my 82 jeep. This manual is going to help me get it done. It is very informative and illustrated. I recommend this for anyone who is doing a minor repair to a frame off restoration.
Essential book if factory service manual is not handy. Could be more technical but that’s the case with all Chilton manuals.
A very comprehensive manual. I have worked on my various Jeeps dozens of times and have found this manual to be indespensible. Based on a complete tear down and reassembly of the Jeep vehicles that are discussed. An invaluable resource. Although I can buy it considerably cheaper down at the local parts store.
Very good generally, but wiring diagrams are not complete and body details are not present. Worth the $$$ though.
As always, Chiltons manuals are one of the best for reference to a vehicle. They are usually on the mark for information and “how to” things. This particular manual is a little weak on the V-8 304 CID engine and I believe that there are mis-prints throughout on the numbering and figures that are drawn out. The electrical diagrams are the best there are but I think that the identifying the part that you are looking at could use a little more detail. All in all, the Chiltons repair manuals remain the best.
Bought this book as a starting point for my newly purchased used YJ. I found it very helpful and loaded with information.
