Having questioned subscribers of Power Wagon Advertiser in the past regarding topics of importance, I turn to this forum to solicit additional opinion.
If you had opportunity to read articles covering topics of importance to you, what would be your choices? What are your needs and interests? Brake, driveline component repair, window regulator... what? I am just tossing these out as examples. How to evaluate a truck... what would be representative of your needs and interests?
What processes to you need or want to see represented in detailed photographs? How would you steer the editorial process to cover your interests? Where does presently existing service literature fall short, in your opinion?
What reference material do you feel you are lacking?
I am also considering the development of an ongoing service manual, possibly done in separate sections that could be assembled in a loose-leaf binder, and added to as new content developed. This possibility applies to WC 1/2 ton, WC 3/4 ton, WDX-WM300 Power Wagon, and W-series trucks (including Town Wagon and Town Panel).
Please describe the ideal service manual, as you imagine it.
How much interest/need is there for military and civilian Dodge parts books? How do you believe they could be supplemented or modified? How do you make use of your parts books?
Please offer your thoughts in this forum. In addition, feel free to send e-mail direct to B1PW1948@earthlink.net
Thanks for your consideration and thoughtful input....
