Is there a PDF or chilton mechanic manual for the JT yet?

[Stonesolo]

Is a downloadable manual out there somewhere...preferably a shop manual.

Chilton/Haynes hasn't done a Jeep repair manual since 2017.

You want a factory service manual.

It appears ALLDATA has 2020 gas engine available. $20 for one month, $60 a year or they have a three year deal.

Yes...if possible.

Chilton/Haynes also does not release any updates or new manuals until a vehicle is almost or already has gone into the next generation change and then they will do the last generation manual on it. Even then, the complication of vehicles has gone up to a point where the Chilton/Haynes manuals leave a lot out.

You can get a OEM one for $129 from Chrysler Tech Authority on USB.

You can also get a subscription to Tech Authority for a few days and download to PDF a lot of what most will need for the job at hand. Downloading everything would require days if not weeks of work and would be very time consuming.

Days of getting bootlegged and "Free" complete PDF copies are fewer and far between because many of the OEM's have been clamping down on those who do it under copyright protection.

Up until about 5 years ago or so, you could find a website or even CD's on Ebay with the factory manuals on PDF.

From what I understand, it started with Toyota clamping down and enforcing their copyright protection and took legal action against those people. Then the other makes started the same.

Can get away posting short snippet PDFs from them but complete manual bootlegs are next to impossible to find. Even the USB I linked earlier, I think has to be run from the USB itself and not copied to a host computer and run separate so that discourages copying and sharing also.

Wow, $129 for the usb, and it doesn't include the wiring diagrams. That's probably what I would be looking at the most.

The JL wiring diagrams can be had, somewhere on the Wrangler sister site they are available.

I believe they are around 97% matching.
