Best thing to do is go through it and just browse first. Get an idea of the sections and what they contain. Use post it notes to book mark key areas... Troubleshooting, Trouble Codes, other spots that you know you will return to often.

One page I will definately recomend is 6E3-A-1

One sure thing, it makes one appreciate how sophisticated the C4 really is. I will always maintain that it is the best investment you can make in your Corvette. As to the learning process: I remember my flight instructor telling me, that in any learning endeavour, we all start out with the same numer of hours: ZERO. I've been working on Corvettes for 40 years and it seems that I learn something almost every day, thanks to my manuals. :yesnod:
