trouble finding repair manual

[dek1581]

I'm new owner of 2017 ram after having ford f150 for 11 years. I cant seem to find Chilton or Haynes repair manual. any luck?

The f150 broke so often that there was a big enough market for the manuals .

Haynes offers a 2011-2016 manual. Dunno why its not updated with 2017 info but there is not much, if any, difference 2016- 2017.

techauthority.com sells Factory Service Manuals (on CD).

I've been looking for a Haynes manual for my 2018 since I bought the thing in Oct '17, and I think I just found it on Amazon. But it says not available until June 11, 2019. So I looked at the Haynes website. It was hard to find, but it's there, published last month for 2009-2018 Dodge Pick-ups. The Haynes site book and Amazon book have same ISBN numbers which are different from the 2009-2016 manual.

Their Ts & Cs only allow linking to the home page. To find this manual, click New Products at the top and find the Dodge Full-size V6 & V8 Gas &... picture link.

I'll be the guinea pig and order from Haynes and let you all know if it goes awry. The online preview on the Haynes site is still the '09-'16 version.

Edit: I tried to order on the Haynes website, but the last page would not allow me to accept the Ts & Cs so I had to call them to order it. Got it for the same price, $19.95, with free shipping. Customer service said their website support knows there's an issue and is working on a fix.

I received the Haynes Manual in the mail Saturday, April 20th. That's some quick service. I thumbed through it briefly this morning. It's the real deal. It doesn't mention taking the grill off to remove the headlight housing as long as you use something sticky on the socket to remove the bottom bolt. I was hoping that they had found a better way to replace the bulbs without removing the housing, but I guess we've lost that battle against the fiendishly incompetent FCA design engineers.
