I've always like the Haynes manuals, but this manual is often wrong. For example, the book said to tighten my rockerarm cap bolts to 19 foot pounds, but the correct specification in 19 inch pounds! Now I have to buy new push rods and hope thats the only damage that was done.

Also, not all the parts mentioned in the book are actually on the car! And it's darn frustrating when the pictures don't match.

I think the best approach would be to have two manuals to compare against each other. Haynes is always the first I'll look to, but from now on I'm going to keep a Chiltons handy.

The problem with this book is that it tries to cover a wide range of models in one book. The book gets into the details only to subject the "do it yourselfer" to a surprise i.e the component that they speak of in the book is, either not there in your vehicle or is not at the location where they state in the book. Needless to say working on a typical installation becomes a bit of a guessing game since you do not know what awaits you. The book definately does not cover all inline six models from 1984 to 1996, my truck is 1995 and it don't look anything like what them folks at Haynes are talking about.I wish somebody at Haynes would read this and straighten it out for me.

I purchased to book to lean more about the used Jeep I purchased. It is well written and very helpful in questions you may have about your Jeep.
