I have purchased these repair manuals numerous times and always the same thing. They always lack something that would make the job easier or that would keep you from breaking something. I guess its better than nothing, but with all the information out there on the internet and youtube. I might start considering not purchasing these manuals until they start doning a better job. I have purchased one for a 2010 Mazda 6, I returned it cause forgot to tell me about 4 clips that hold bumper. Ended up snapping them and cost about 80 dollars for those retainer. Bought for Dodge Dakota, didn't mention for a radiator change that I should remove the clutch fan and the hood latch mechanism for the install. Damaged my radiator fins. Still works but weakend the radiator a little. In total I've bought 5 of these books and this one I think is my last.
This is a great manual for do it yourself folks like me. The 97-04 Dakota / Durango have a ton of configurations and changes through the years, and Hane's misses a few of them in their writeups. For example, leaving out the 3.7L V6 that was offered in 04. And that just so happens to be my engine. Otherwise, it's great.
I have purchased Haynes manuals since my first car to do minor maintenance and repairs. My truck is getting up in age and is requiring more and more annoying, little fixes that would take more time and cost to take into a shop to do, than to do them myself. Once again, Haynes provides me with clear, concise information that allow this amateur to save money on minor car repairs. That said, do not take this review for more than a grain of salt if you are doing major work, as I cannot vouch for that.
Okay, I'm cheap and I have an excellent mechanical aptitude. Many times, I have ran into sloppy repair work done for simple repairs and to add insult to injury, would get charged close to $95 an hour for the repair. Don't get me started on labor costs for work on automotive air-conditioning. I do repair work on my Durango when my expertise allows and having the Hayne's repair manual is helpful. Do understand that these manuals do not go into great detail on specific models. Hayne's groups the information for several vehicles into one manual. They will generalize some of the repair procedures to cover the cars listed within the manual. This will sometimes leave one stranded with trying to dig into a complicated repair. If you want greater detail and accurate repair procedures then nothing beats the service manual for your vehicle that will have to be purchased from the dealer. They are expensive. The Hayne's manuals doe a pretty decent job and I like it for reference in doing not so complicated repairs....
Arrived on time and in perfect condition. These manuals aren't the be all end all of vehicle maintenance but they're great for the amateur mechanic looking to take care of 90% of what you'll run into themselves.
Every time I buy a vehicle I buy the Haynes manual. It is an invaluable tool for anyone wanting to save some $$ on car repairs. Something as simple as changing headlight lens or a bulb, this will walk you through it and save you the $75+/hr a shop would charge you.
Haynes manuals are great for helping you figure out things on your vehicle when you don't have money to have it fixed at a dealership. Illustrations are usually applicable to the situation, and wiring diagrams are simple to follow. I'm a fairly accomplished mechanic, and I have a Haynes manual for everything I own.
Have use these books from time to time in my auto repair days! Been a auto mechanic since 1970. I brought this book for my son that owns a Dodge Durango. He has no ideas about IAC unit. This book must had help him to replace the IAC. Bye getting this book to him I didn't have to travel 150 miles one way to fix his SUV.
