10 years ago or so, I bought a ratty parts manual for my IHC 9670. Paid over $100 for it and thought it was way to expensive. I have been looking for another (in better condition) and haven't found one in any condition for 10 years. My advice, is if it covers your model and is readable, buy it! Most dealerships had micro fiche or later CD rom's of the manuals, so finding a printed one is hard. A trucking company might have bought one back in the day for their fleet, but these are well used and often in pieces (like mine is) Still it is a valuable resource to have.
Jonmaine (2/24/2015) Manuals are not cheap.particularly more modern ones. I'd think $260 was cheap.$300 seems more the going rate. Among others I collect Walter SnowFighters,max 50-60 pp manuals $100plus, Oshkosh $150. Even reprints are expensive. You need 'em. I hear what you're saying, and that is what they're going for.Maybe I'm too old school.
I just think those prices are way too high for a manual with paper pages. Maybe it's just me, but hey, that's the way of the world isn't it.One mans need is another mans greed.Any hoot, thanks for the reply and advice, it's appreciated. If you invest the time on eBay, the maintenance manuals turn up for less than these high asking prices. You should be able to get for for less than $100.
Make sure you get a wiring and air plumbing diagram for these which are relatively close in date to your '86. Also, on they have on the right side of the page under 4. Schematics they have a 362 wiring diagram and lots of other stuff, too.
As far as parts books go, those were generally dealer network-only proprietary information, unless you bought lots and lots of trucks. Very very few Peterbilt owner have direct access to a parts book other than the dealer. The set of 4 black binders, the Series III or IV parts books (I think that's what they are called) from around '90 contain all the 362 stuff, but these books do tend to be a little generic.
These are very rare to be able to buy and bring hundreds of dollars. Since they are dealer-only items, I do not know of any electronic versions, other than the current Paccar eCat internet system.
Paccar either provides or sells access to this system, it is not public. If you did a bunch of business with your dealer, they could set you up with access to the system and to the record for your VIN. Peterbilt in part does not make this information public because nearly all of the part numbers on an '86 have been superseded to later numbers. If you were to look in these books and punch in the part numbers (like the parts guy does), they almost always supersede. At least they did on my '79, and I bought lots and lots of parts for my '79 Pete in the past 7 years.
On the build record, you have a handful of options: 1) Go to the dealer and borrow the fiche, already have a public library lined up with a fiche copier, and copy your build record, then bring the fiche back. 2) Buy a copy of the build record from Peterbilt ($$) 3) Take your cell phone to the dealer, and ask them if you can look at your fiche and take pics of every page. Then you have the information. With a little formatting on a desktop computer you can make a printable version. Or, 4) find someone with a set of fiche, and pay them to go copy it or take pics of it with their smartphone. Its all about time and effort.
