Factory Service Manual Review

[Ahre]

I don't know why someone will buy from them for $200, while Mopar sells them $120 officially.

Hey plex, I'm unable to locate the Mopar repair manual for my 2020 JLUR at ...store.mopar.com can you point me in the right direction?

I can give you specific Volkswagen examples, but I don't think that would interest anyone here.
But we agree that the service manual is useful. Here is a link to the 2018 FSM for anyone that needs it...

For anyone who, like me, was willing to take a full day to dive into this, thinking that it was a compatability problem because TechAuthority requires Internet Explorer and Flash, neither of which exist anymore, let me save you the time.

IT DONT WORK.

It used to be 1.7GB in 2020. Sometime in 2022, it went down to 240 MB. All of the xml files are gone. It requires a CD that doesn't exist. There's some pretty pictures in the files, but no actual tech info.

That said, if anyone has any questions on how to get a virtual machine to run Windows XP, Internet Explorer, and Flash, that's about all I've learned today. That and a bit of coding from a 9 hour conversation with Chat GPT going over every single file trying to figure out what was missing from the service manual only to find out, the thing missing was the service manual.

I tried to get it work yesterday on Windows 10 laptop with IE compatibility mode Edge browser, saw the same error No content available for the Year and Model selected.

Not sure if it worth efforts to buy a 2018 FSM CD from Ebay as old forum threads mentioned.

It's absolutely worth buying the 2018 JL Mopar CD if you can find one. It can be copied to your desktop or even burned on another disc without issue. If Mopar has discontinued the service manuals, I will offer copies to the community. PM me.

I found this digital manual for $39.95 (one time buy ... no subscription):
Jeep Wrangler (JL) from 2018 to 2023 – Haynes manuals

I used to own the hard copy of the Haynes manual for my '98 TJ. It came in handy at times.
I didn't think Haynes makes service manuals anymore. Has anyone gone onto the above website and made a purchase?
