FAQQuestions about the Imperial manual

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 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.
