You might get somebody to PM a link to you, but I doubt the mods would allow it to be posted publicly. It's a copyrighted document, and a fairly expensive one at that (I dunno about the Nitro, but my Viper service manual cost me $110 six years ago). It looks like somebody runs this forum as a business, so I doubt they'd be willing to overlook it.

o well
Well, it was worth a try. The Manual on cd costs about $120.00, but my warranty is good for three years, so I wont worry to much until then.

How much did you pay for the 3yr warranty? Was it from Chrysler or a 3rd party?

Not yet, as I probably won't get my Nitro until next week, and I don't want to waste the money if I don't end up getting it. But it worked perfectly on Nissan's version of the site.
The TAOL service manuals and wiring diagrams for 2005 and newer models are SVG files. You'd probably spend the whole 24HR period just trying to copy a few of the graphics from the primary functional groups.Click the link for Tech Authority On-Line on the left.

You're better off buying the CD or better yet buy an annual subscription. In addition to all the service manuals, wiring diagrams, etc., you'll get also get access to the TechTools, Flash, OBD, etc. It's great, if like me you have more than one Mopar that is out of warranty and do your own work.

Not sure if this will be an "illegal" post.
I might be able to get my hands on the service manual. Would anyone be interested in splitting the cost with me. Total cost would only be about 80 bones.

I am interested in sharing the cost for service manual(s) for the Nitro. I love this SUV and plan on keeping it as long as I can keep it rolling.
I have the RT model with 4Wheel-Drive, but I imagine that the shop manuals cover all of the different models and also include 2WD & 4WD variants.
In a year or two I want to get the body work done to fix a few dings and dents and then repaint and detail the Nitro inside and out to make it look like new again. It will cost a bunch, but since I want to keep my Nitro long term, it will be worth it and definitely be cheaper than buying a new car/truck/suv.
Due to the short life span of the Nitro model (2007 to 2013), I am a little worried about availability of parts. Since so few Nitros were produced, I doubt that many companies will produce 3rd party parts and accessories for them. Keeping my Nitro running and modifying it may involve the making of some custom parts some time in the future.
