Haynes Repair Manual (Jeep Grand Cherokee 1993-2000)

Summary: More pictures would be nice
Review: I am very happy with this book but it has two major problems.
1) Not so many quality pictures, could be more ilustrated.
2) Doesn't cover so well all some areas (ex: interior and brakes) while extensively cover areas like engine overhaul.
I'd recommend if you are interested in doing some mechanical repairs by your own.

Summary: To Generic for the job
Review: I bought this book to fix a leaking water pump. What I found was a lack of detail put forth for specific tasks. Instead of referencing a specific illustration, they just say, "see illustration" but don't tell you which one of the many on the page to reference. I have been completely thrilled with other Hayes books in the past, but it seems that the need to put a single book out to cover a larger population has hurt their ability to provide a quality book that is usable.

Summary: How much can you fit into a book this size?
Review: If you already know enough to do most of the work on a car or truck where you can reach most of the parts (like maybe you've rebuilt an engine or two, replaced a clutch, put new shoes on drum brakes) then this book will probably provide the information you need to do work on the parts of the Grand Cherokee that you can reach. If you have a good pheumatic ratchet wrench and the time, you can probably do the balance of the mechanical work yourself. This book will not tell you what to do when your coil burns out repeatedly or help you diagnose that your injector pump impeller lunched itself and spit little pieces throughout your entire injection system. Chrysler/Mopar will charge you more than you can imagine to fix those two, and a good - very good - local mechanic will still charge a lot. This is not a book for beginners, but engines built since about 1980 are not for beginners. For me this book rates 4 stars, but for the general market, I'm going with three.

Summary: Haynes Jeep Manuals are the Best
Review: If you want to get an upgrade or a problem fixed quick and easy, Haynes Jeep Manuals are by far the best. Trying to buy the original manuals from the Chrysler official website can set you back $70 instead of a great value for [price]
