Default Which CD-ROM service manual to get?

which cd-rom servicer manual to get for my 2004.5 ram 2500 quad cab 4X4? on ebay there is one for $15 called (CAR EXPERT Autorepairinfo.org) Has any1 ever heard of this one?

The other is called OEM direct service manual. Its $50 and claims to be OEM from dodge themselves. a guy on ebay called manuals-mopar sells them. hes sold 2856 items like it already.

Which 1 to get? Im going to be attempting ball joint replacement so I thought it wouldnt hurt to get a manual as I will be keeping truck for a LONG time.

geeezz... that's not very nice. She tried to help and I noticed you get the same answer between both forums you're at. I don't know which one you downloaded but, the 06 anyway has 3.7L gassers thru 8.3 diesels. Maybe you didn't look in to the manual far enough. You have to open " engines" the rest of the truck is basically the same as all the other years. That manual " IS " the dodge manual. If you must spend money and want the correct CD... it's gonna cost you >> 2005 service manual <<< this will be the same thing you can download from the hemi site. Or, you can pay a lot more for the paperback edition
