Hi Forum,

I was wondering if anyone knows of any books to read to gain a better understanding of autos and auto repair. I know that the best way to learn is to dig in and get dirty but some supplemental reading would be a great help too if it exists!

Thanks for the recommendations!

 

i used a haynes, chilton and fsm to fix all the cars i've ever owned(6 cars in 2yrs). i own a bunch of haynes manuals, downloaded the fsm, and read the chilton manuals at the library. and google...

 

As shadow says, check out the manuals available for your vehicle. Whenever I get bored and have little to do, not that often nowadays, I sit and go through my Haynes dakota manual or read through the downloadable service manual. Helps stuff make more sense when you start wrenching.

this is the text book i used when i was in automotive school. this one is a few editions newer tho

 

The FSM is great in my opinion. There are also a few good books out there regarding the rebuild of the magnum engine, I will post the titles when I find them.
