Ebay. 60 bucks or there abouts. Maybe a little more. You can also order new ones. Will cost more for that. Chuck Tator can give you the number to order the manuals if you want new ones.

Is that 60 a piece or 60 for the set? I keep saying I need to pick up a set for my 2001.

Take into consideration what the going rate is for labor on a Viper and you will soon realize that for less than the cost of an oil change you can get the manuals and do it yourself.

My cousin is a Dodge dealer in Oklahoma and sent me a manual for my Viper. That thing is worth it's weight in gold, and has probably saved me a few grand at the dealership.

In my professional opinion, the big service manual is the way to go here. I did all of the manuals, bought them separately. The other manuals are really not the way to go. The large Service Manual has everything you need. The diagnostic books are merely for people who "must have" everything.

Agreed. I don't have the other two, but I have yet to find an issue or upgrade that the service manual did not address.

Just got the big service manual today in the mail off of Ebay.

Winning bid $9.95 (!) plus $12.00 shipping. What a deal, it's great!
