What this manual has that the owner's manual does not

The owner's manual stops where the repair starts. The factory repair manual picks up from there:

• Owner's manual: controls, warning lights, maintenance schedule, fluid types
• Factory repair manual: diagnosis by trouble code, step-by-step repairs, tightening torques, wiring diagrams and connector views

The 2021 Ram 2500 belongs to the fifth-generation Ram 2500, model years 2019–2026. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but options, software and wiring changed along the way, which is why the manual is built for your VIN.
