I bought the Dodge service manual on CD for about $100… it’s not as practical as this one because it’s mostly boilerplate and there are NO photos at all. I returned it (less their $20 shipping fee for a CD!) and bought this one to see if it was useful. Yes and no. For example, Haynes tells you how to replace the instrument cluster bulbs, but nothing about the bulbs in the center console. (They’re different, by the way, but they both come out the back of a circuit board.) Essentially no info on the wiring harness, just a few schematics that don’t tell you where the connections are located. It’s a collection of things they think you’ll need to know, NOT a complete shop manual.
The manual was found to be as expected I own numerous of these manuals and find them to be helpful in repairs.
Does not contain everything but is a valuable resource for a person wanting to do fairly in depth repairs to their vehicle.
Needed a repair manual for my family’s van and this was 18 bucks! This costs 27 bucks at Advance Auto Parts or any other auto parts store.
The book is typical on-shelf item which is good enough for DIY. Got it new from the seller with the price which is like only on sales at other book stores or auto-shops, and without sales tax!
Whenever you start a job you should read the directions so getting a good repair book is vital. I’d recommend this one to anyone who needs a good guide to repairing Dodge/Chysler vehicles.
The manual covers routine troubleshooting fairly well. But as with most of these manuals, the electrical diagrams are incomplete and often inaccurate. The circuit I was trying to fix (rear window defogger) wasn’t even shown on any of the diagrams. I ended up taking the van to a repair shop.
had two repair jobs to do and thought of buying this book. One was a clock spring replacement and one was a radiator replacement. I tried to educate myself through the book, but failed. It’s patch work and in my opinion incomplete in instructions, leaving out important information.
I finally ended up finishing the jobs entirely with Youtube videos that other’s made available online (thanks).
Get to know your car better. Often a mechanic will miss inform you as to what has to be done to make a repair. They wiil try to make things more complicated than than it has to be. Wheather they repair or you do it yourself this book will take the quesswork out of the project. Clear, consise information that can save you money. It is very difficult for a mechanic to know everything about every make of car or truck. It is therefore not unreasonable to show a mechanic the Haynes manual on how it should be done by keeping this manual in the car when or if a problen should take place on a trip or at the corner garage. For instance a belt may need replacing and you may get a “song and dance” from a mechanic on how hard this belt would be to replace. Show them the best way from the instructions or picture in the Haynes repair manual. I know because it has happened to me, I saved money and time on this repair! Got back on the road in no time! Made a new mechanic friend too!
I have two other auto manuals for two of our vehicles and I needed one for this van.I ordered this just last week and I got it sooner than I expected.Great seller,great book.They come in handy.
