Just use the 1995 Dodge Dakota manual we have free to download in the FAQ in this section. That 1995 manual will be 98% the same as the 93. I know because I have the 93 manual. If there is something you need that is not in there I can post up a picture of it.

I've searched in the FAQ and can't find the book.

Aftermarket books generally suck for the detailed info.
I have the factory book, access to "Mitchell Prodemand" through work, and the local library has repair info available for free with my library card.
I use the factory book most of the time because the detailed info is just not there in the other sources. (A searchable/indexed digital version of the FSM would be awesome, since I could access it via the touch screen tablet I use the garage)
I don't understand why people seem reluctant to spend the money on the FSM if they need to. It pays for itself the first time you use it.
I believe the dealers sells CD versions for around $40 and paper copies for $100

I agree, I have the FSM
Although the FSM does have all information that I need, I think the FSM can be very confusing. I wish it wouldn't use language like "The grounding point for the circuit Z12 is in the back of the engine". Like please manual author, say where, or where in the manual I can find it. "back of the engine" only helps me a little bit. Not to mention how much I have to jump around the manual. Then again, I got it for free so I shouldn't complain too hard.

You can buy one new on CD here https://www.bishauto.com/ I paid $45ish for mine.
They may also still sell the paper ones.
