Re: [Amc-list] Anyone Around Charlottesville VA know anything about 96Dodge Truck with 3.9 V6?

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Jerijan,

You really need to get a factory manual for the truck. You are well 
beyond what a Haynes or Chilton's manual will help you with. You can 
either order one from the dealer or use http://www.alldatadiy.com/ (they 
provide them electronically on a subscription basis). I used to have a 
96 Ram and I bought a factory manual for it. The factory manual is about 
4 inches thick and well over half of that is electrical stuff. It will 
show you exactly where all of the grounds are at and outlines all of the 
test procedures.
