I want to buy a good service manual for a 2004 Jeep GC Larado. I like good pictures and detailed explanations. What are your recommendations and where do I get it?
Thanks
Scott

For the best service manual, try the Jeep dealership and get the manual the mechanics use.
Although I am not sure about your vehicle in particular, but in general, these factory manuals are MUCH more detailed and give much better directions than a typical Haynes or Chilton manual.
You could also get it on-line. I found this on Ebay (click here) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-04-Jeep-GRAND-CHEROKEE-WJ-SERVICE-REPAIR-MANUAL_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q 3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c29 3Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZi tem300282329056QQitemZ300282329056QQptZMotorsQ5fMa nualsQ5fLiterature)
The $70 price is cheaper than a dealer, I expect. IMO the factory manuals usually are worth the extra money if you are going to do some serious repair on your truck.

'Rat is right - factory manual can't be beat. But if you can't get it cheap, the Haynes is pretty good for many jobs and can be found at most auto parts stores for around $20.
