Default Technical information

Does anyone have the best source of technical information on our trucks? Or does this even exist unless you work for Chrysler.. I'm talking complete wiring diagrams down to every single parallel circuit and all its splits and splices and grounds, what controls what, the things that have been changed through its 7 years, every dimensions, every connector and which prongs go to what, internal, external, engine, tranny, computer connectors, all of it. Thanks!

Factory Service Manual is available for FREE in the DIY/FAQ Section. There's more info in the manual then you'd ever want to know...

So far, I have not found a wiring diagram that shows everything, on one diagram. Sometimes, I would dearly love to have one......

Factory service manual is the best you're going to get.

Michelin1 (I think that was the name) has some very nice wiring diagrams, all of the TSBs, step through diagnostics, all technical specs and lots of step by step procedures and all sorts of other good things. I used to have a subscription and it was well worth it. But you've gotta have some serious cash to fork for it.

Other than that the factory Chrysler FSM is by far the best thing that most people can get their hands on. The Haynes and Chilton have quite a bit more incorrect information in them than I care for or simply don't have it. IMO not worth the money.

Would that be Mitchell manuals? I have used those in the past, next best thing to the factory manuals.

I used the online Mitchell software not a book, so I don't know if they are similar. I do know that the troubleshooting etc. are very good, and some of the wiring diagrams have a "tracer" function and are laid out well, you can isolate by system.
