Just wondering what the best and most cost effective repair manula there is. Anyone know?

 

If you would like the best and most comprehensive manual then the one available from GM http://www.crateenginedepot.com/stor...S-P1807C6.aspx is the best. If your just looking for something cheap and generic service manual the http://www.haynes.com/products/searc.../productID/515 is what you may be looking for.

 

Aah the good old Haynes manual, thanks for the help.

 

No such thing

BEST: Factory Service manual: Most comprehensive, three volumes (engine volume alone is 2.25" thick), covers one model year, everything from how-to-diagnose to rebuilding transmissions. ~$150

LOWEST COST: Chiltons, Haynes, etc: One small book (<1" thick), covers several model years, basic how-tos. ~$15-$30.

 

Haynes is decent for the home mechanic.. A factory service manual like mentioned above covers EVERYTHING you can think of. Haynes covers most **** though, and is a lot cheaper.

 

I just need it for brakes, fuel filter etc. Minor crap. I am not looking at any huge projects, leave that to the trained!! Never heard of Chiltons before, will check em out.

 

i got my new haynes manual for like 15 shipped on ebay. has tons of stuff. there's certain things that it doesn't cover, but they're all things that i most likely wouldn't attempt by myself anyways.

 

Looks like Haynes it is, thanks.

 

Do you guys know of a manual for 2008?

 

I've got a Chilton. Its basically like the Haynes. Which ever one you can get cheapest, go for it.

 

What's the part number (ISBN) of the Chilton version?

Thanks!

there is always alldata.com. we use it at work, we have the professional were you can look up unlimited cars. however, they have whats walled alldata diy (www.alldatadiy.com) wich allows you to buy and look up for one vehicle, and you can use it as many times as you want for 1 year. its $25 for the first year, $15/year after that. the nice thing about this is you get the same info shops use, and you get up to date gm service bullitins on your car.

 

the haynes is sold on amazon.com for like $13 instead of the $25 from their website just FYI
