    Is there a Chilton CD that covers the 1993 Dodge Grand Caravan LWB?

    Are Chilton CD's good? Are other brands good too?

    Personally the only useful manuals I had found are the OEM manuals you order
    from the MFG's all the rest just leave stuff out and only give you a hint of
    what you should do and expect you should know stuff. Go online to the MFG
    web site and order the CDs.

    I agree with Coasty, and I'll add that the schematics in the aftermarket
    manuals are useless. A "Typical" schematic that may or may not be your
    exact vehicle is like someone handing you a map that could be showing
    how to get from Chicago to LA and you're going to use it to go from New
    York to Miami. I've been severely burned by that kind of crap in
    aftermarket manuals - and it's the main reason I refuse to buy them anymore.

  4. The only two sources of service information that are worth a toss are:

    -The factory manual, either on paper from the dealer or eBay, or on CD
    from www.moparmanuals.com

    -www.alldatadiy.com ($25 gets you a subscription to full factory service
    info plus TSBs for one year/make/model).

    Chilton, Haynes and any other aftermarket books or CDs are garbage.

  5. Hey, they are not! You said yourself that they make good doorstops &
    firestarter.
