Default workshop manual

Hi Guys,
Does GM still do a service/workshop manual for the C5 or is there a better one on the market that you could suggest.
What performance programmer is the best and are they worth the money?
I need one to adjust my fans first off.
Thanks

Get the three volume GM service manual for your car - it is a very good reference manual to have. Fred Beans or Fichtner Chevy has them at a good price.

You'll love 'em!! Great reference for the money and will pay for themselves in the first couple of uses!
