Factory Service Manuals - Anyone have them?

[vjr021]

Looking around, I found the complete set of three service manuals... Does anyone have them?

Are they useful?

I have always bought the factory manuals when I get a car, just wondering if it is worth it...

I was wondering the same thing, my dad just bought a set for his XLR, 2 HUGE books, very indepth!!

I have the full 3 volume set of factory manuals. I like having them as they have all the torque specs and help out with those hidden screw locations. Wiring diagrams are useful as well.

Big thing to remember is that they are more a reference manual vice a how to repair manual. Also, you will spend lots of time cross references and flipping back and forth to go through each steps. For example, to remove the dash, there are only a few steps but each of those steps refer you back to another section which in turns refers you to another section. Just be ready to break out the bookmarks.

i have all 3 and there are times where they are very handy and other times where it's just easier to go out to your truck and just start doing whatever you need to and figuring it out as you go.

How much did the manuals swing you guys and where did you get them?

Is this something you would get at the dealership?

Here is a .pdf of the 2005 Tahoe Manual, but also most applies to 2003-2006 and even back to 2000

I got mine off ebay for less than $100. Good deal if you can find them. Not sure if it's worth it if you have to pay dealer price.

This is merely an OWNERS MANUAL, not a SERVICE manual.
