Hi all, I am the proud owner of a 1976 d100. it is a slant 6 , 3 on the tree. this is my third dodge truck. my first(20+yrs ago) was a 68 d100 with a 318 ,wish I knew what I know now and could have kept that one! also had a 86 v6 at one time.

 

anyones opinion on which manual is best to get? Clymer , Chilton or Haynes? thanks

 

Welcome to DF! Head over to the 1st gen Ram section for technical help. I've had good luck with Haynes manuals. They are pretty basic though. If your going to get indepth working on your own stuff, you cant beat factory service manuals though. There might even be a free download of the fsm in the 1st gen Ram section.

 

thanks , not sure what the "fsm" means? but the Clymer I got is very basic. trying to find some a930 transmission info. doesn't seem to have a drain plug so guess I have to siphon this thing?

 

Welcome. Brand new here, myself ("73 D-100 slanty)....FSM is Factory Sevice manual. I'm sure I'll be leaning on the "older guys" advice....sounds like some good
Mopar brains here. Cheers, Mike
