Is there a Handbook specifically for the SRT-8. Mine just came with the standard book for all models up to the 5.7 Overland.

There is one specifically for the SRT8. Earlier trucks came with just the normal manual, and they sent the new manual when it became available.

The "srt8" specific manual is special...in that it has a picture of an SRT8 ont he cover. Otherwise, it's the same friggen book.

The UK SRT8 handbook is very different to the standard Grand cherokee item.
The drawings, technical spec and pictures are all specific to the SRT8.

mine came a month or so after the car, and I had to nag the dealers parts guy for it !

Part # 81 - 426-07147.

Not mine! My dad has a GC Limited 2006, and the inside of my manual is the same as his.

If your manual is the same as the regular gc, then you need to get the one for the srt8. it is NOT the same

I ain't buying it man..If yours does not say Jeep SRT8 on the front...it's the wrong manual. Should be #81-326-0653 on the back cover.

Look at pg 26-27...shows pic of rear duals...SRT8...not a GC limited.

Pg 256..."This vehicle is equipped with run flat tires...Is your Dad's?

Pgs 303-304...synthetic oil, 0-40....does your Dad's use that?

And more....so maybe you want to check a little further....

Thanks

My manual has a PICTURE of an SRT8 on the front, it's a red one. However, the INSIDE is exactly the same as the manual from my Dad's Limited. I have to check the part # to see what the heck is going on. I'll friggen take a video of me flipping through it to prove it to you!!!

lol

It makes NO mention of dual fogs, or runflats. I got a ton of little pampletes and inserts related to my tires and features of the vehicle (VES, NAV, etc)

Yep the manual is definitely different to the regular GC. I did hear there was a period when the factory ran out and vehicles were shipped with the wrong one or nothing! All of the new 2007s seem to have the right one.
