I've always bought the thick book for my vehicles, and I often have kept a vehicle for more than 10 years. (It's been 15 years since I bought my last vehicle.) I've successfully done a lot of maintenance and repairs for over 40 years. Most of my work on vehicles, though, has been limited to bulb/fluid/filter changes, spark plugs/wires, belts, hoses, brake parts and fluid flush, shocks, tire rotations, and misc hardware. (I have a scanner, but have never had an issue come up where it showed a code.) It's also nice to know, for example, the torque specs on the myriad delicate parts that sometimes need to be tightened due to whatever cause, etc. (I have a pretty pricey micro torque wrench.) The aforementioned things have usually been pretty well covered in the factory shop manuals I've owned.
For my 2012 Liberty (by way of the link found under the "Owners" tab on jeep.com) all I can find so far is an official service DVD for a 2009 Liberty, priced at well over $200!
The parts guy at a dealer said "it's all online anyway, and the heavy duty info is for authorized subscribers (professional mechanics) only".
Is there any legal way for me--a regular customer-- to get the official service/repair info for the 2012 Liberty? If so, how?
If I end up going for the DVD for the '09 Liberty, what changes have been made on the '12 vs the '09? (I'm not looking to rebuild a motor or a transmission.)
Thanks in advance!
