Many professional mechanics specialize in fixing certain make and model vehicles. Some master mechanics become experts so as to mend and repair all brands of vehicles. But even mechanics who restore all vehicle types use a repair manual because it is impossible to know the specific details, design or step-by-step repair procedures for every individual vehicle.

That said, what type of information does a repair manual cover? Typically, a repair manual is divided in to several main chapters, each chapter is further divided into subsections which cover each part related to that chapter. That subsection might even be divided in to sub subsections. For example:

• Engine (main chapter)
  • 2.5L Engine (subsection)
    • Cylinder-head (sub subsection)
    • Crankcase
      Pistons
    • Valve assembly
  • 3.6L Engine
  • 4.7L engine

Each section usually begins with a component description, component specifications. diagnosis and testing or troubleshooting guide, part removal, disassembly, cleaning, assembly and installation procedures. A Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan covers every aspect of repair—from a simple spark plug change—to complete transmission rebuild or engine overhaul.

Last but not least, and let this be a warning, when an original repair manual has been published online, it is not totally uncommon for a second or third edition to exist, or a supplement manual. So if someone marked a manual as covering 2000-2003 models, it is possible it is mislabeled or that a supplement manual is needed to address data for the later models. For this reason, you should never rely upon any online manual for repair applications unless you have consulted with a certified or professional mechanic in regards to the repair work you are about to perform.
