1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!, July 15, 2000

By	MAJ Mark W. Garrett (Seaside, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I was very disappointed to find out that this book is only slightly more instructive than the owners manual. If you are looking for a "repair" manual that covers everything, look somewhere else. I purchased this book with hope of repairing 4 items on my 1996 Dodge Ram truck. The first was my mirror, it's not covered in the book. The second was my steering stabilizer, it's not in the book. The third was the replacement of my shocks. There is a section in the book, but it provides absolutely no pertinent information regarding the replacement. The last item was a glitch with my cruise control, again there is no useful information. All the book displays is how to replace the cruise control mechanism on the steering column. What if the problem is not in that module? There is no diagnostic information in the book period. Nothing like the Chilton's repair manual's from years ago. Again, this "manual" is only slightly better than the owner's manual that came with the truck. Save your money for something else!

1.0 out of 5 stars I used to buy Chilton manuals for all my vehicles. , November 26, 2006

By	Westly Williams "Wes" (Winter Harbor, Maine) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For a reason I long ago forgot I have been buying Haynes manuals for years. I am trying to diagnose a problem in my ignition system sensors and relays. This book has little to no useful infomation on how to test the ignition coil, crankcase position sensor, camshaft position sensor, automatic shutdown relay, so on and so on except to tell you to take the vehicle to a shop. In fact some of the sensors and relays like the automatic shutdown relay aren't even mentioned in the manual at all that I can find.

I now remember why I stopped purchasing Chilton manuals. They are absolutely useless and "you bet ya" I won't make this mistake again!

I have a 1996 Dodge Ram Cummins 3/4 ton four wheel drive. I purchase this manual to help me do maintenance on the vehicle. The manual does not show my front or rear differental or brakes and believe me if you have a Dodge 4/4 you are going to need a manual that does.
