'Dodge V6 & V8 Gas & Cummins turbo-diesel Pick-ups (09-18) Haynes Repair Manual (Does not include 2009 fleet models with the 5.9L diesel engine or the 3.0L V6 diesel engine.) (Haynes Automotive)' book reviews
The "Dodge V6 & V8 Gas & Cummins Turbo-Diesel Pick-ups (09-18) Haynes Repair Manual," is an indispensable resource for both DIY enthusiasts and professional mechanics who own or work on Dodge pick-up trucks from the model years 2009 to 2018. This manual, like all Haynes guides, is known for its thoroughness and clarity, and it continues to uphold that reputation with this edition. However, it is important to note that it does not cover the 2009 fleet models equipped with the 5.9L diesel engine or the 3.0L V6 diesel engine, which may be a limitation for some users.
One of the standout features of this repair manual is its comprehensive coverage. The book meticulously details the procedures for maintaining, repairing, and troubleshooting various aspects of Dodge V6 and V8 gas engines, as well as the Cummins turbo-diesel engines. It includes step-by-step instructions, accompanied by hundreds of clear photographs and diagrams, making even complex tasks more manageable for those who may not have extensive experience in automotive repair. This visual guidance is particularly useful for visual learners and helps in reducing the chances of making errors during the repair process.
In addition to the step-by-step guides, the manual also provides valuable information on regular maintenance schedules, helping users extend the life and performance of their vehicles. This includes recommendations on oil changes, fluid checks, and other routine inspections that are often overlooked but critical to the longevity of a vehicle. The troubleshooting section is another highlight, offering practical advice on diagnosing and fixing common problems, which can save users both time and money by avoiding unnecessary trips to the mechanic.
However, the omission of the 2009 fleet models with the 5.9L diesel engine and the 3.0L V6 diesel engine is a notable limitation. For owners of these specific models, the manual may not provide the needed guidance, which could be a significant downside. This exclusion suggests that potential buyers should carefully check whether their specific vehicle model is covered before making a purchase.
Another minor drawback is the sometimes overly technical language used in the manual. While it is expected that a repair manual will contain technical terms, some readers who are not well-versed in automotive jargon might find certain sections challenging to understand. Nevertheless, the detailed illustrations and photos do compensate for this to a large extent, helping to bridge the gap for less experienced users.
Overall, the "Dodge V6 & V8 Gas & Cummins Turbo-Diesel Pick-ups (09-18) Haynes Repair Manual" is a valuable tool for anyone looking to maintain or repair their Dodge pick-up truck. Its detailed instructions, comprehensive coverage, and helpful illustrations make it a go-to resource for both novice and experienced mechanics. Despite its few limitations, it stands out as a reliable and practical guide that can significantly aid in the upkeep and repair of these vehicles.
