FAQQuestions about the 600 manual
Which 600 years does this manual cover?
Every year from 1983 to 1988 — 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 Dodge 600 manual or an aftermarket guide?
The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Dodge published for the 600, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.
Does it include 600 wiring diagrams?
Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every 600 manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.

15 recalls are on federal record across the 1983–1988 600, 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 Dodge dealers.
Why do some 600 years cost more?
Every 600 year is $29.99.
