I found the information for a 1988 Jeep Cherokee to be vague, superficial, and many times, incorrect. This might be due to production changes in the 1988 year. In looking for information on automatic transmissions, ignition system, engine control computer, or transfer case dissasembly or repair, the book says that this is beyond the home mechanic. Well, few other repairs even require a book for anyone with reasonable experience. I believe they are copping out. It was not worth reading.

As a beginner in home car mechanics I found this book very helpful. It helped me already with understanding my Jeep Wagoneer '73 (V8, 360). And I used it to replace the powerbrake booster, the powersteering pressure line, rear suspencion leaves, door window, door lock and so on. New jobs are coming and this book wil help me, I sure...

Not bad, but get the Factory repair service manual, which is more accurate. Some wire diagrams are different.. good for the newbie, but better get some advice first, like Always use Quadra-trac fluid
in Transfer case, never anything else, the Friction cones will not tolarate it, since it is a full time 4 wheel drive. ( from 73-79 borg -warner)

This book is good for most basic to intermediate repairs. Quick reference with pictures makes it easy to find info you need.

If you ever want to work on your car, buy the Haynes manual first, that's it. if you don't then good luck to ya! and if your one of the few real men that has the guts to work on their car, I highly recommend these manuals, if you like to do things right and have a good reference handy these books are great, I grew up with them in Ireland and am so glad they've made it over here, my old jeep needs some TLC and I'm ready now to give it.

I bought this book so as to diagnose a problem with my transmission & torque converter. I found it to be pretty much useless. The pictures didn't show what I needed to see; the wiring diagrams weren't for the right year; the vacuum line diagrams for the vacuum lines that operate the hardware that actually puts the vehicle into 4wd were non-existent. If your jeep is stuck at the bottom of a hill somewhere due to the front drive line ripping the wires off the connector that goes to the neutral switch & back up lights don't look to this manual for help!

WOW, This Helped me repair my grandperants Jeep. (witch will soon be mine in a few years!)i just want to say thanx

would like to buy the book IF it includes a wiring diagram for the power rearview mirror wiring harness. I took it apart and can't figure out the correct places for the different colored wires.
