GM Service Manual

Sevice Manual

I haven't ordered it yet, but this might interest a lot of you, I just have one question.

What will this tell me?

I already have the parts manual, dos this give my how to's and diagnostics. This may be a dumb question, but I dunno

I just got mine yesterday and installed it. I found the service bulletins just fine. For instance, they had some info on how to seal a leak in the weather stripping on the hatch, so it doesn't drip when you open the hatch.

Can't find the so-called "service manual" on the cd's though... I posted a question to the guy about it.

p.s. he was getting $35 when I ordered mine... they're down to $9 now I noticed. That's not a bad price, even if it's just the service bulletins. (oh, I got them from the "other" guy, that's why the big difference in price)

Is this the actual, 2-book multi-page "bible" of stuff, with torque specs, instructions, etc?
(on CD, I know).
Or Just part numbers or bulletins or junk.

You can find all the service bullitens online for free....I just can't remember where I found them before.

I prowled around in mine a little more yesterday and found the manuals too, not just the bulletins...

For instance, for wheel alignment, it shows the control arms, the special tool you need and where to place it, which bolts to loosen, and lists the steps to take.

Well I had some money sitting in my paypall account so I ordered one, I will post the specifics when I get it.

Maybe someone can host the CD so that us not so rich people could have it too.

[PewterBird]

I wouldn't say you have to be rich to afford the ten bucks.

I would host it, it is just that I have a few barrier. I only have access to my schools server, and I don't want to get pirated software mixed up in that. Plus the thing is five cds, so I would need more than my 25 megs, and last of all I don't want to undercut the guy I bought from, cause that just aint cool.

Maybe 20 of you could pool your money and then host it for yourselfs. ;)

is anyone know where I can find the shop manual?
what's the difference between the shop manual and the service manual?
Where order the cd?

TealV6 has one for his 3.4 and he swears by them. Its very detailed. Not like the thin manuals you find at Autozone (can't remember the authors off the top of my head right now). I definatly don't think you wasted your money. You should be able to take apart and put your engine back with that manual.

[speedy-v6-camaro]

If someone sends it to me I will host it. My AIM is "PoPoJhOmO". I should have some room on my host to do it.

[PewterBird]

Just FYI...This thing is gods gift to f-body owners. It has everything. I could basicly take apart my whole engine, put the parts in a big bag, shake it up, and put the whole thing back together. I also have the Parts Manual too.

It even has tech bulletins, diagnostic info, repair instruction, exploded dissesembled views.

My favorite part is that it has a fix next to each and every SES code. All step, by step. Even though I have haven't done more that replace my alternator, this is hours of fun for the car info junkie.

No way to ship it to France...
