Naw, they just boilerplate normal maintenance stuff.

Haynes sucks really...even thir updates will include some references to older trucks they for got to remove...example, one jeep manual said to rotate the distributer cap to set the timing...which was ok for the previous model, but would do like $300 worth of damage to the one it said to do it to, etc.

The factory service manual is very good if you can get it.

But, I have to second the motion to hook up with a local club, and do mod days.

There's nothing like doing it to learn it, and with other guys (And their tools if you don't have any yet...) to help...you can SEE how its done, and, get recommendations as to what you need, etc.
