Niether one of those over the counter manuals will supply all the info you need, they are generalized books without a lot of detail.
If you do not have access to Alldata or Mitchell On Demand then you need to find the Factory Service Manuals. (eBay?)
+1 on the above post, all the info you need is available from your fellow TD'ers.
Next post please supply engine, trans. etc

I agree with NAJ,but to answer your question ,I believe the Chiltons to be the better of the two,it's really a pretty good manual.I have FSMs for most of my cars ,but I still use the Chiltons an occasion.The Haynes aren't very good although they will help in a pinch for general repairs.I bought a Haynes the other day to help R&R a 4.0 V6 in an Explorer. I knew nothing about it and it got us through a very tough exchange.Hopefully never again!! What a POS

Both the Haynes and Chilton manuals suck...dont waste your money. You get better detail and more pictures by searching online

Factory repair manual. They're cheap enough on ebay for you to buy.
