I NEED to get a manual for our truck engines and have seen several and am unsure on which one has the most beneficial information. I want tear down pics, torque specs, how tos etc and I'd prefer to have it paperbound instead of on a CD rom, although If the Cd is better I can always print off what I need. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I want something more in depth and better than an Auto Zone HAynes $15 jobber. What are ya'll using and/or can you recommend and where to get them (besides waiting on ebay for one to pop up)! THANKS!

 

POST DELETED....mostly due to stupidity on my part

 

Yelo, i think he was talking about an actual book manual for a "how to" deal. The best one I have found is a Chiltons manual, very detailed instructions and good pictures...but also havn't looked very far past the Haynes and Chiltons.

 

....oops, just re-read that and realized my mstake......sorry about that

*back to the topic*....get a official GM service manual set, thay are like $300 from a dealer and any GM parts department can get you one

 

Check out http://www.helminc.com for GM service manuals.

They list the 2003 Sierra Manual for $120.

I ordered my C5 service manual from them.

 

Yeah, the helms is the factory manual and runs about 100-120, if you paid 300 you got ripped.

 

Yea, my dad got me one for Christmas, 5 volumes total, more info than you'll ever need. I think you can get it on CD ROM too.

 

Cool, thanks guys, that's what I was looking for. I found that CD volume on Ebay for $40 buy it now!

 

Good deal! Do you have a link for that seller in case he has more CD's? I just order my paper copy. Greasy paper is better than a greasy computer. Hopefully I won't need to reference them with the cam, shift kit, and TC install in the next few weeks. Better safe than sorry though.

 

OBX, here's the link bro. Although I don't know if this is the same as the FActory GM model though:

Hope it helps ya' out!
