Service Manual

[dvst8r]

So what is everyone using for service manuals? I was in Napa today and looked at the Haynes manual, but it has no provision for the Cummins? The 94+ one does, but who cares about the p-pumps anyway...

So?

I got lucky and had one given to me by the local dodge dealer. They said that they only keep manuals for cars or trucks up to 10 years old. So if I didnt take it they were just going to throw it into the dumpster.

Most of us buy the factory manual. It has a lot more detail than the aftermarket ones do. Dodge doesn't sell them any more for our years. Geno's Garage does.

Chilton has a not so good one. But enough for me to figure electrical compotents in my conversion.

At one time I had a 93 FSM, didn't care for it, sold it. Too much clutter and gasser crap. Although it would be nice to have lol, just for the complete breakdown of about everything. In my library, I have a 74-88 Chiltons Dodge trucks, 78-93 Haynes Dodge trucks (nothing on 6BT), 89-91 Chilton (contains some 6bt info), 89 FSM (no diesel info), 89 FSM Diesel Supplement, and a Cummins Troubleshoot and Repair Manual, latest edition, would give the part number but it's out in the garage.

I have and have had intercooled and non-intercooled engines. It's a 5.9 B series Cummins for the most part, very little differences, at least that will matter in your case. My point is, the best manual I have found to use on ALL of them is the 89 FSM Diesel Supplement. I believe there is one for a 90 as well. Wasn't til 91 when Dodge included the diesel info into their FSM. The diesel supplement is written by Cummins, wipe your blank with what the retards at Dodge have to say lol. It's basically a Cummins Troubleshoot and Repair, Engine, and Shop Manual all in one. It contains info not included in my Cummins T&R manual. Complete tear down and rebuild info. In chassis, out of chassis etc. I highly recommend it. It usually can be found on ebay cheap as it's for the "early non-intercooled motors", not IC'd . So the ding dongs looking for a shop manual for their 90-93 trucks see it and think it's useless to them.

go to ebay and look up 1990 dodge diesel there reprint service manuals but very very full of info I bought one but heres a website for a marine based motor that does alot of justice for the 5.9

www.gessford.com and go to 5.9 cummins its long but helpful

When I bought my 93 the seller mailed me some CD's. I later learned they were were ripped off from Mitchell On Demand.

Someone was selling pirated copies.

I've got a 92 and a 93 FSM, and find them usefull. Not much difference between them, other than Getrag rebuilding info. I also have a Chiltons, but there isn't much in it for our trucks.

I have chiltons and the factory service manual for the Cummins.

I use them both quite a bit, well worth the investment.
