The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

This factory service and repair manual is matched to the 2004 Jeep Wrangler, so every figure and procedure is correct for your exact engine and trim rather than a generic year range.

Known issues on the 2004 Wrangler. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year: a loss of brake fluid that can lower brake line pressure and increase stopping distance, a tire and loading information label fault that leaves the owner without the correct tire, wheel, and inflation pressure information, and a fuel-pump fuel leak that could cause a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Owners have filed 281 complaints and Jeep has issued 33 technical service bulletins for the year. This manual carries the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems.

From a routine service interval to a control-module reflash or a hard-to-trace wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2004 Wrangler.
