    2.2/2.5 fwd speed secret

    I'm looking to get that book.

    Many years ago I had it but unfortunately, I got rid of it with all my MP catalog in the recycle bin.
    Never thought I would get back in the TD community...

    Anyhow, would love to get my hands on one if you can ship to Canada.
    It is not that far...

    This makes me wonder where mine is. I just bought it and can't find it now. Anyway, look out on Ebay and I'll keep an eye out also. I might have ordered mne through Barnes and Noble online. Check them also.

    I have an 88 edition, just 2.2/fwd. Only about one paragraph in the whole thing about 2.5s and its about the tall deck. If that one is fine I'd let it go.

    If the OP isn't interested, I might be, I'm curious about the tall deck so if it's got some good info, it might be up my alley... Have a price in mind?

    Re: 2.2/2.5 fwd speed secret

    Part number for the 3rd edition is P5249585 and it shows on the cover $20
    Part number for the 4th edition is P5007162 and it shows on the cover $30

    I'm not parting with either, but these may help you.

    Re: 2.2/2.5 fwd speed secret

    Was the 4th edition close to the first or two but with more recent stuff?
    That book has gained value or ?

    Re: 2.2/2.5 fwd speed secret

    If I were to recommend any of the 4, I would say the 3rd adn 4th edition would be the best choices. Lots of the same stuff, but updated and revised.

    Supply and demand...

    That should have read $40 shipped in the US; "+" shipping everywhere else.

    Re: 2.2/2.5 fwd speed secret

    Seems like they dropped some of the tech on the early stuff in favor of the older, such as the aforementioned tall deck stuff. I hate that they feel the need to keep the book to a limited number of pages, resulting in some things being left out...

    Anyone got a 2nd ed they'd let go cheap?

    Re: 2.2/2.5 fwd speed secret

    Mine is p4452792, printed in 1988. After looking at it again I remember all the specs are in there. I think Ill keep ahold of it for my TIII build.

    Re: 2.2/2.5 fwd speed secret

    I have a copy of the 4th gen and it seems like the cutoff is at the end of 1988. The upgraded/better tech from the early 90's isn't covered. Still, a nice reference complete with all the old Mopar part numbers.

    I didn't realize these books were so sought-after.
