Default Shop Manuals

Does anyone know where to buy the "true" shop manual for my 2006 Dodge Ram 3500???
I called the dealer and they don't sell them, I know they are out there but want to see what you guys have used before.
Not talking about the cheap "Chilton" books that you get a the auto parts store, I want the true shop manuals that the dealer's service guys use. The ones that show everything.
Let me know what is good out there.

If you took the time to read your owners manual completely you would see that the answer is actually in there.

Google can also help in your adventure... here let me show you:

Guys,
After reading my owners manual (first), I found the link to Mopar's site.
Don't want the CD, because who has a computer in the garage with them while working on a truck..... Not I.
I have found that there is a 6 volume set of paper service manuals for the 2006 Ram.
Found these on ebay, but was wondering if anyone has found them some other place, maybe for less cash.

You get what you pay for.... Personally I would just buy them from the reputable place that Dodge Recommends... Down the road you can always sell the set again.

Id take the CD. When you need something, search it, then print what you need. Not that difficult.
