awg

I have nearly all the relevant Factory Parts and Service Manuals, as well as Operating Handbooks and Technician's Diagnostic manuals, covering most years of XJ Production

I constantly advise people to free download them, but but can be tricky, sources disappear etc

I have some hosted on my Google drive, but I am a stingy **** and will be ****ed if I will pay for extra storage

In the good community spirit. I am prepared to allow someone/s to upload them, and preferably free publicly host them on their own site (cause you are paying for extra storage anyway, and you want to be a good XJ citizen)

I do not have enough space left on mine to host but a few (Im a '96 guy)

If anyone is willing, ether reply here, or PM me.

To clarify, you will upload the manuals to your cloud, make them publicly accesible, and make a link here (or via a seprate thread)

It would be a good resource to have availabe, I think I have all the manuals

A committed XJ guy would be best, knows how to use a computer lol

the worst can happen is you get a bunch of free XJ manuals. I think the ~average size of a FSM is about 350MB, so x 10= 3.5GB

(I have over 2000 automotive pdfs in my collection)

I wonder if I could do that on my website.

I could possibly do it. I would just create a burner Google drive account for only storing the files and make all of the links public.

awg

Probably, and that would be the best place in my opinion, especially if you still have the others ?


That would work, and its not a bad idea to have multiple sources, the worst can happen is you have your own personal copies of manuals

In any case, what I would do is load up the following on my Google account for a brief time (as my free account is nearly full) with public access so anyone can download the links

I would PM you 2 guys to download the links, and do with them as you wish...anyone else can also download them...while they are still on my Google Drive

The manuals in mind are the '96 FSM, '96 Handbook Drivers handbook, '95 Drivetrain Diagnostic manual, '94-96 Parts manual (you may already have that last one cruiser)

If one has a '96, this will allow one to diagnose almost any fault and identify any part, one link to rule them all

there will be no more girly excuses permissible

Only about 3000 pages, but they have an Index !

awg

As promised, here is a number of relevant manuals for '96 XJ

I have them as public access on my Google Drive, so if you click the links, you should be able to download each of them. I cannot say how long they will be left up due to space limitations, so hopefully @cruiser54 and others can download them and place them in a publicly accessible site. I will try to PM

Anyone that wishes may download them in the meantime, total is about 450MB, (mainly the FSM is 350MB)


96 Factory Service Manual;

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ku7...ew?usp=sharing

(Index starts on page 1835, its very hard to follow if you do not use the index, as the 1st section of the manual is the supplement)


94-96 Factory Parts Manual

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jRd...ew?usp=sharing


96 Owners Manual (Drivers A5 sized handbook, comes with vehicle)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yZL...ew?usp=sharing


93-95 Powertrain Diagnostic Manual

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jSq...ew?usp=sharing

(This was written for OEM Chrysler technician's, who at the time may not have been fully familiar with electronic fault finding. It is written mainly in flowchart form.
While it would be preferable to have the 97 version, I do not have it, and this works almost as well,
the theory is the same, but pins nums etc are different (so you need the later FSM), the Chrysler scan tool mentioned is only used in multimeter settings


From the below site you can free download the Factory Service Manual, and many others

These are invaluable if you wish to retain your Jeep longtime

(I will test my links, hopefully it works)

ok, they seem to work, let me know if not, although I will be out of action from Wednesday for a couple of weeks

awg

I cant PM you @gomnbvcx , for whatever reason, but the manuals are uploaded, a reply to your post usually generates some sort of notification

Ricthewrench

Grabbed the 96 fsm, all info is good info. I have a collection of data also. I give it away for the asking. It's an XJ thing.....😁

Saudade

@awg . The link to archive.org changed a while back. Seems like they moved some of the "collections" around. Anyway I get an error when I load your link. The good link is:

https://archive.org/details/addition...tab=collection

This one has 1999 specific diagnostic manuals.

https://archive.org/details/opensour...tab=collection

Some more manuals:

https://xjjeeps.com/

And finally the old Great Lakes accessed via the Wayback Machine.

https://web.archive.org/web/20110706....com/tech.html While the main page comes up pretty quickly, accessing the manuals themselves takes a bit of time.

Of course, there's a lot of duplication across all these sites. Some FSMs come as a single PDF. Others have multipart PDFs. A few have both. Might be better to host both so the user has the option.
