Best manual/book on 1988 Jeep Comanche Eliminator
There's the Hayne's, Chilton, any others? Comments on them? Anyone got one
they want to get rid of? I want to be able to service and support my new (to me) truck. I'm not terribly mechanically gifted (much more experienced with computers than cars), but it's a secondary vechicle to us, so if it takes me a little longer to get something working, I'm ok. I also don't have the original owner's manual, so I'd like something to replace that as well. So far, I know that the serpentine belt is loose, and I've got a bit of an oil leak to diagnose. Oh yeah, and I need to replace the brake pads. Clint |

Oh yeah, and I need to replace the brake pads. I ordered the factory service manuals for my 88 MJ. I use the Haynes manual for a quick lookup, but when it gets at all involved there is no substitute for the FSM. The difference is one 6 inch stack of manuals vs. a single one-size-fits-all aftermarket volume. -- Will Honea |

The 88 FSM is widely available on the internet in PDF form. It is for the XJ
but the MJ is very similar and much of the file has specific MJ schematics and etc in it. I dont have a link right now for one. Maybe Bill does.

You da man! Quick search for "Jeep XJ FSM PDF" turned up a link! Thanks a
bunch! Not sure how legit it is to post it, but if someone else needs one, drop me an e-mail at cneufeld@mysocks.shaw.ca (remove mysocks to send).

Cool, I have had these files for a few years and I still use them. Last
