FAQQuestions about the Imperial manual

Which Imperial years does this manual cover?

Every year from 1982 to 1993 — 6 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.

Is this the OEM Chrysler Imperial manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Chrysler published for the Imperial, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Does it include Imperial wiring diagrams?

Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every Imperial manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.

Does the manual cover Imperial recalls?

9 recalls are on federal record across the 1982–1993 Imperial, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Chrysler dealers.

Why do some Imperial years cost more?

Every Imperial year is $29.99.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.
