jking220 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I dont know about that specific manual... it claims to have anything you would need/want and it appears to be GM certified. I prefer a paper manual so I dont have to print too many pages. Jonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marika Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2.asp?c...3BQCSAD1MGCCU53 The real factory authorized service manual is at the link above. 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...

jking220 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Ide go with the FSM... I think I paid about $60 shipped off ebay for mine... cant beat it. 130 for all three (and maybe shipping) seems like a pretty good deal for brand new books.

Marika Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 <a href="http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2.asp?c...3BQCSAD1MGCCU53" target="_blank">http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2.asp?c...3BQCSAD1MGCCU53</a> The real factory authorized service manual is at the link above. thanks.. and is that all three volumes? The Helm version is the GM authorized factory manual, it's the real deal and yes it should cover all three volumes under one book. Personally, I prefer the Helm version to any after-market publications but that's just my own preference.

Logan Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 If you are a GM employee. You can use this site for free. Same thing the dealers use: http://service.gm.com/index_en-US.html Simply use your GMID. Non employees can use the site thru ACDelco for about $20 per day rental. 1998 and newer. 1992 only service bulletins. The eBay fakes...mostly bad copies..most dont work or have errors. Current ESI/ Techline is about 8g of data. Hard to fit 8g on a eBay 4g DVD. To buy GM ESI is about $400. But it is everything GM, Hummer, Saturn 1998 and newer. Everything..all systems are there plus TSB's.

OynxSTS Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I have the 1998-2005 eSi DVD it works and it has EVERYTHING that the Helm books have PLUS all of the TBS and recalls on the cars... a GREAT TOOL... I paid $15 including shipping. Looks like this guy has sold a few.. if they were full of errors he wouldn't have a 100% positive rating. Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac, I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back ZZTOP, I'm Bad I'm Nationwide Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i am going to get the book and the cd. i know someone that has both(same book from helm) and he says they are both ok, only problem with the cd is you cant take it to the car.

lothos Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I've got the book and it's great for using when you're working on the car. I think the CD might be really useful if it has a search function, I'm always trying to find something in those thick service manuals WARNING: I'm a total car newbie, don't be surprised if I ask a stupid question! Just trying to learn. Cheers! 5% discount code at RockAuto.com - click here for your discount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
