This book tries to do too much. I needed to change my oil pressure sending unit in my Dakota and there is no reference to an oil pressure sending unit much less a picture of one in this book. A waste of time and money.

To place it short and sweet, I also have found this mannual to be lacking in technical information. In the past I found Hanynes' manuals to be very informative, but this one needs a unconditional money back guarantee. It is very vague. It appears to be more of a maintance manual than a repair manual, which is the main reason I bought it!

I purchased this manual over a year ago and my Brother and I have replaced the carbeurator (87 only), head gasket, replaced radiatior and hoses, set rockers, learned the values of numerous electrical tasks we were stumbling over. The pages we use are referred to by us as dirty page maintenance, sort of a, been-there, done-that, symbolism. We are not mechanics, just broke enough to try the work ourselves. The manual has told, showed, and given hints to prevent oops-events. I give it Four Stars and have no reason not to give it Five.
