Default Service manual question

I know the 2007-2009 JK's are pretty much the same with the exeption of som top and interior changes and I have a 2009 Jk and have a 2007 Jk Mopar Service manual. Should I just use the 2007 service manual or get the 2009?

Sell the '07 and put the money toward the '09. You can't beat having the correct tech data.
It's hard to tell where the subtle differences might be.

Call Chrysler USA, it should be free.

I called Chrysler Canada, because my manuals were in English. Chrysler sent me the French version (no charge)

I don't think Chrysler is going to send him a free service manual. They are quite expensive.

DO NOT POST TORRENT LINKS
Read the electronics FAQ regarding the service manual here: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-electrical-lighting-sound-systems-13/electronics-sound-systems-faq-4716/#4

My JK didn't come with a manual. I had to get mine off of Ebay. I don't think Chrysler will just give em to you for free unless they screwed it up in the first place.

service manual is not synonomous with owner's manual.
