Default NEED FSM download in pdf

Looking for the download for the FSM on a 1996 Dodge Ram Van. B2500, 3.9L V6, Automatic, RWD, SWB. I have seen several services online that offer them, however, before I shell out the $, I want to make sure I am getting the actually FACTORY SM, not a Chiltons or Haynes.

Of course free would be the best, but I understand that may not be possible.

NEED HELP ASAP!!!! Vehicle is hard broke at this time.....

Best bet is to check Ebay for one - that's where I got mine for a '94. I doubt you will find one to download.

why o you doubt I will find one to download?

I belong to several web forums, and surprisingly, this is the only vehicle I don't have one for....

I have FSMs for Toyota trucks, a couple of Durangos, a Pacifica and a few others.

Because this question has been asked many times and no one has found one yet.

I did notice there was one to download in a thread that I searched for... but it was updated and said that it blocks all out of state IP addresses

What state was that?

I have a paper copy of mine, never did find one in PDF. Though I did buy a parts manual for the 97 in PDF.

it was a state that started with an m I think..... I found it in a thread on here, but one of the updates said it blocked out of state requests now

I am not against buying it, however I would prefer it to be free. I do also want an actual FSM in pdf. Unless anyone knows if any of those ebay or similar sellers have one that is the same text wise as the factory dodge manuals

It was Michigan and it wasn't a downloadable PDF it was an online version of the Chilton's repair manual.

Here is the link to the original thread: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/dodge-r...e-chilton.html

Its from the online Michigan Public Library. Though it is trivial to spoof your IP and gain access to it I personally wouldn't pay anyone even $1 for a Chiltons manual. Go to Ebay and buy the entire Dodge Factory Service manual set for your van. It'll run you $50 - $75 and will be worth every penny.
