I have been watching this site for the last year and half and just bought a 2012 AWD R/T. So far so good; no problems and I really like the vehicle. Does anyone know where I can buy factory repair/maintenance manuals? I have had GM vehicles my whole life and they always had in the owners manual where to get them.

 

I tried to order them from techauthority.com (the normal channel) but they are no longer available to individuals per an email that I received from them. If you find a source, let me know.

 

Mine came with a CD that has all the manuals on it, and if you register your vehicle online here: https://owners.dodge.com/sub/Pages/O...52F&Source=%2F

After you register your R/T you can go to the bottom of the page and download the manuals in a PDF format. There are also some videos that you can watch that describe the operation of some of the accessories.

 

You can order the complete manuals from Dodge, call 1.877.847.7166 and its free.

My guess is that the OP is looking for more in-depth manuals, detailed descriptions of repairs etc. . . I would be interested in the best source for that info also.

Edit: I should mention: If you have not already done it, put the DVD mentioned above in TV and view those videos first. A great first place to learn some of the features. . . I did the typical -> play with all the buttons first, then read the manual., then try to teach my wife. . . . I wish I would have started with both of us watching the videos first.

 

I was referring to the repair manuals.....have always purchased them for my other vehicles, including my '05 Crossfire.....but would you believe it, you can't buy one for the D.

 

Thanks for the answers folks. I'm glad someone else is looking for the same thing I am. I have gone the same route at 46fever; played with all the buttons, watched the CD, and read the owners manual but I am looking for factory repair/service manuals. GM always has a page in the back of their owners manual telling you where to buy the manuals. They aren't cheep; the ones for my 08 Chevy PU cost almost $200 (4 big manuals). I think I read on here somewhere that there is a cabin air filter on the Durango; anyone know where it is?

 

Welcome! Most cabin air filters are behind the glove box and I think I read this one is too. I am sure somebody will jump in here and say for sure. If you wait around for a bit you can normally find a Factory Service Manual somewhere for download in PDF. The one for my 2500 was almost $200.00 too, but downloaded it for free on hemitruckclub.com. Good luck and enjoy!
