Hey all. Been looking for a service manual for my '05. Found one online for $600, but was hoping for a better deal maybe.

you can usually find the service manuals for sale on ebay in .pdf format but there not hyperlinked and they are thousands of pages, but only $15-20

I saw the alldatadiy reference in @Rocket Man build thread. I've been toying with the thought of getting a subscription.
I mean, it’s a few bucks a month for a subscription but it’s so easy to use. I pull it up on my iPad and take it out to the truck. I have a pdf version but it’s not easy to use at all. I spent more time searching for what I’m looking for and sometimes it wasn’t even in there. Too much hassle.

The year subscription for Alldata really isn't too bad, and is a much better deal than monthly. Anyone have thoughts on Alldata vs Mitchell1?

What's the quality of info like in the pdf service manuals? I bought one for an Impala a couple months ago and it seemed like it was missing like half the info. Like there aren't connector pin outs and component locations. It's also very disorganized.

Mine seems to be complete. Bought off Ebay.
Here is a page on the turn/cruise control multi-function switch...

When I bought mine, i think there were options to download compressed or full resolution PDF files.
I went for the full-resolution, which was a huge file.

I went back on Ebay to see if the one I got was still available. Could not find the item or the seller.

That's too bad, because access to the download from the seller was quick and the quality of the manual was really good.
The FSM was the full document and also broken up by chapters into separate files.
