Shop manual?

Do we have to go to the dealer for a shop/repair manual?
I can't seem to find any for the C5 just the C4.

2023 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

Just got mine from Fichtner Chevrolet, one of the Forum Vendors. Its got just about everything you ever needed to know about your Vette in there.

At $120 it was a great deal and they even shipped to England.

That's what Gene, & Fichtner sell, only cheaper than Helm. Same exact manuals.

Listen to "ready kilowatt" (2KFRC5), he is right on target. Those manuals are very readable and easy to use.

GMPartsHouse sells them at a decent price. You can also check the C5 Parts for Sale section - they come up for sale there every now and then for the various model years.

It's not that hard, folks. Fichtner Chevy has been a supporting Dealer/Vendor for years. That's where I got my manuals. The Helm manual is the official GM service manual, and the only game in town. Haynes and Chilton never made a C5 manual.

I recently bought a set for my 98 on the C5 parts for sale section. Think that I paid $60 for the set in excellent condition. Just post a WB (want to buy) on that section.
