Marika Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 It's the best $$$ you'll ever spend on your car. If you really want to make people safe drivers again then simply remove all the safety features from cars. No more seat belts, ABS brakes, traction control, air bags or stability control. No more anything. You'll see how quickly people will slow down and once again learn to drive like "normal" humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper602 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Does that service manual have part numbers, where can I get one & how much? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentham Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I think some, but not all part numbers are listed.. They're are usually a handful selling on eBay -Eric Eric 93 Cad Seville 100K 95 Chev Blazer 143K [garaged summers] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95SLS Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I got mine like a year ago, so far it has been absolutely no help at all. Check out the instructions on alt replacement. "Remove Radiator hose" What for? It's on the other side! Never touched it! Came out like a dream! It also said for this same alt replace to remove the air cleaner box also OTHER SIDE! And now I have a major squeeak in the S belt and what info does it have on that> Almost none! It was the most useless money I ever spent.

Bill K Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 95 SLS, I would put you in the minority. Manuals have saved me more $$ over the years than I can remember. One of the first things I get as an accessory for a new veh. is a manual. You can always sell your manual on Ebay and get some use out of it.

Ranger Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Hey 95 SLS, the day will come when it will enable you to diagnose a problem and fix it yourself. That one time will pay for itself. Like Bill K, it is the first thing I buy when I get a new car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBuckley Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I got my manual right after I found this forum, I got mine off of ebay for 80.00, it is a two volume set for the 94 Seville. The manual has been a life saver for me in the replacement of my Alternator and repairing my oil line leaks. You can not go wrong getting a factory service manual for your car, all the different info it has availble to you is such a great help, espically when you add the info you can get from the great members of this forum.

cardio-doc Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Factory shop manuals are worth their weight in gold. And you have to get the real books - shop manuals on CD can't compare. I mean - when working on your car are you really going to run back and forth a hundred times to your computer? They're great. Fun read too for the true enthusiast. ~Doc --- Direct Performance on Ebay CaddyInfo.com Cadillac Conversations Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Cardio Doc here, you have to have the real GM factory manuals, others just do not make the grade. And they are interesting to just look over and read.

WarrenJ Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 The manuals have been indispensible to me in servicing my car's electronics; something, unfortunately, I can't trust to the average auto tech. Furthermore, my local mechanic is DELIGHTED that he can simply pop my trunk lid to access the service manuals. I get better service as a result. Some of the best $$$ I ever spent.

WarrenJ Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Sniper602, Pick up a used manual set on Ebay or buy a brand new original set at www.helminc.com. Don't waste your $$$ on Chiltons. Gonna run you about $120 for new manuals. Ebay, of course, is less. Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion.
