Default Desperately need a 1993 Dakota Factory Service Manual

I've been looking everywhere for a '93 FSM for a buddy, but can't find one anywhere! If you have the digital copy could you send a link of it to me, it would mean the world to me!

AllDataDIY - about $26 for a one year subscription.

I understand Mitchell has something similar.

I wish I could help you with getting a FSM so that I can get one too.

I just bought a CD of the 1990 FSM from Bishko through RockAuto for $23.79 + a buck or two of shipping. It's definitely worth it to me.

Find one ?
depending on what you want it for,
getting the factory build sheet would give you lots of info, a place to start...

Have you looked for a Chiltons Book? Found one for my Firebird on Amazon for $6.

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
