Diagnostic Manual

[Ron]

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">If you have an interest in understanding how your car works or how to repair it, or to even talk intellegently with your Viper Tech, there are all worth it.

I probably possess over $1,000 worth of these manuals, from 1992 ~ 2002, plus various tech workbooks, diagnostic manuals, etc. I find them to be worth every penny.

But that's me.....</FONT f>

My 97 "Powertrain Diagnostic Procedures Manual" (pn 81-699-96167) covers a introduction, identification of system, description and functional operation,system component location, disclaimers-safety-warnings,field experience (notes), diagnostic information and procedures,general troubleshooting,maintenance and service info,specifications,required tools and equipment,glossary of terms, and body codes defined.

All of the above are chapter headings with sub categories. The manual deals VERY heavily on the electrics of the beast.

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">The 2002 Viper manual is 81-270-02030. Don't know the 2001 number but they sure will.

The diagnostic manuals go into more detail on some (but not all) of the items the service manual covers and should be considered supplements to the service manual.

I don't have one in front of me, but from memory, the engine one will for example discuss how the ECM interacts with the various sensors, how the functionality has changed year to year and how to diagnose problems.

If you want to purchase just one book, the service manual is the one. If you want more, head towards the diagnostic manuals.

Later today I'll post a page....

Thanks for the discount info.... I had no idea... (hope they can do a credit and re-bill!)</FONT f>
