Are there any major differences between the 2000 and 2001 Troopers that should stop me from getting a 2001 Factory Service Manual for my 2000 ?

Reason being is that Helm has the FSM and Electrical manuals available for 2000 for a total of $200, but they have both manuals on 1 CD for the 2001 for only $100. No CD for 2000. I'd like to be able to save $100 if the 2001 manual would cover a 2000 well enough.

Any thoughts from someone familiar with the two ?

shouldn't be that much of a difference, but with the specific manual being offered for your year, it sure would be nice to have what you know to be the "exact" manual for your truck.

and the paper version is nice to have ........ sometimes you see stuff flipping through that you wouldn't happen upon with a cd :)

don't purchase a manual! i have one on cd for mmy 2000 troop. i'll make a copy for you. my email is: stevecraun@hotmail.com
