Check at a different dealer. I work at a Chrysler dealer, and know for a fact that it is available. Also, you might check e bay, there is always factory manuals popping up there.

Do they cost that much at the dealer?

THANK YOU trssho.

Your efforts are greatly apreciated!

I've been wanting one of those for a long time. I thought I was going to have to pay over $100 dollars on ebay. http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~zeimet/ubb/smile.gif

There is one on ebay now,http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=373640818, check this out and see if it's what you are looking for. If not, I got one at Carquest, they had to order it though.

I bought a set of new Chrysler/Jeep shop manuals off of e-bay a few weeks ago. These are the 1989 electrical and engine/chassis/body manuals (There are two manuals, about 10 lbs!). I paid about $90 including shipping, which I believe was a bargain. When was the last time you bought a genuine shop manual for a vehicle from a dealer? They've always been expensive. I think I got a deal. Sounds like we'll find out soon enough. No comparison in quality... they're incredible as far as detail and pictures.

I just received my '91 TSM. I wouldn't bother w/ someones used (and possible incomplete TSM) from Ebay for an '88 GW. Try in this order:

1) Zack Heisey an FSJ-list member: http://users.supernet.com/zmjeeps/
Look under "library" for what manuals he has available. or via email:
Zack Heisey zmjeeps@desupernet.net
(He sells reproductions of manuals in 3 ring binders and I've heard from FSJ-LIST members that the quality is good; but, personally I haven't seen one).

2) Chrysler Publications @ 1-800-890-4038
(I paid $59 + tax (I think) + S&H: $70 total for 2 volume set '91 Jeep TSM. Has the SJ (of course!), XJ, MJ & YJs too. Good quality, original, new manuals). Sent via UPS ground.

3) Faxon @ 1-800-458-2734
(I called them. they wanted $70 + S&H for the same 2 volume set; so I ordered from Chrysler.

4) The following I pulled from Mike Baxters' SOURCES.TXT . He's got a "how-to" download available at his site:

Service Manuals - Faxon Auto Literature, 1655 E. 6th St., Corona, CA.
91719, 909-735-6183 fax 909-735-3372
(A more complete listing than I have above)

Service Manuals - Vinatge Auto Literature {Stan Binnie}, PO Box 2097,
Waukesha, WI. 53187, 414-544-4286 (After 5 p.m. CST)


Hope this helps.

I got my '89 Wag service manuals from the Chrysler publication number shown in the above post. It was easy, quick and relatively inexpensive. I think the total cost was under $65 including shipping.

[trssho]

P.todd's info is good. At the dealer, they go through a publication company to get their manuals. Best probably to call. # is 800.890.4038. The part no. for 1990 Jeeps is 81-370-0145. Cost is $55.00 + S&H. They have a web site, but no listing prior to 95. www.techauthority.com. (http://www.techauthority.com.) Good hunting.

[JERRY88GW]

I've been away from my computer for about a week, and just now getting to check all this stuff.

trssho, is the part # 81-370-0145 for my 88 GW. You said it is for 1990 Jeeps. Will it work for me?

Also, I check that ebay TSM. It's a haynes manual. I have that. I'm looking for the factory service manual. The one the mechanics at the dealer would use.

Thanks,

Jerry

[trssho]

Jerry,
The 90 is the oldest listing the book I had has. I'd bet that if you call them they do have one for an 88. If not, I beleive that 99% of the literature would bw the same. Good luck.

Jeep (and then Chrysler) published ther FSJ manuals in 1984 and 1989. For 85 - 88, you get the '84 manual and a bunch of supplements. The '89 manual was a complete repackaging with some updates for the Waggy to cover rear wiper motor, Mitsubishi starter, and maybe the overhead console.

Prior to '89, the electrical schematic was a separate publication that wasn't part of the shop manual, but from '89 on it's incorporated. I would recommend getting the '89 manual set and the '88 electrical schematic. That would cover everything accurately.

Good luck with it. (Imbedded smilie test follows) http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~zeimet/ubb/smile.gif
