factory service manuals

[bluneon]

are these available for the #'d cars?

[mwrenn]

On my SL # 604 the Shelby manual is a supplement to the Dodge factory service manual. It's a notebook with about 40 pages in it. Has wiring diagrams, operating instructions for the stereo etc....

personally i dont really like the haynes... i think chiltons is better... ive got a few chiltons books from the 70s... has all the hp and torque outputs and everything (lol its fun to see how much dodge lied)

Yep, the factory manual is by far the best one to have. I got one set "three books" for my 86 Baron, and another set for my 87 Lancer. Got them both from FWD Performance.

I like the Haynes ove the Chilton, but I like my 2.2 FWD and 2.2/2.5 FWD books by Mopar much much better

I need to get one for an 87 and a 90

oooh i c... lol i guess it just made me mad that in my haynes manual the only info about the vin number they had was where it was and what it looked like lol whereas the chiltons decodes them for you... i THINK... or it at least lets you know what year and motor and that...

[moparfwdsleeper]

this isnt what id call the best, but it does work VIN Decoder 1982-2005
