The "Real" Owner's Manual?

[flyer92]

Back in 2016 when I purchased my Grand Cherokee, it came with the standard (and sort of lame) user guide, shown in the first photo below. However, I later learned that there was a much more expansive, technical, and in-depth owner's manual that was available through FCA, shown in the second photo, with almost 1000 pages of useful information (aka, "the brick"). I haven't heard of any such thing for the JL, but just curious if anyone has seen something similar.

The user guide:

The OM you can download for the JL is 520 pages.

Subscribed... because if there is somewhere that tells you how to lock the unit without setting the alarm, I'd like to know about it.

We had an actual shop repair manual for our JKs. they are great for the DIY Guy. Now they are broken down into sections.

You pay hefty for them but they are "Real."

For sure...that's the manual we all get with our Jeep, but I'm referring to the larger one that should be about another 500 pages. Perhaps these don't exist anymore, but then again it probably doesn't even matter since many Jeep owners drop $50K+ on a JL and never bother to read the manual in the first place! I don't get it....

Perfect...thank you. Just sucks that it costs $50 now. For the prices we pay, these should come with the vehicle.

Update: When I attempted to look up this manual on the site above, it only listed part # 68510214AD, which is the smaller manual and other associated brochures, not the larger manual that Roky showed above.

@Roky ....is there a part number anywhere on that manual?

Maybe try Jeep Owners site, I downloaded mine for free; but that was bs k in 2019.

LOL...well, when she's done with it, I'll be glad to take it off your hands! I have very minimal mods.
