Sometimes in the parts for sale section of the forum. Once and a while I have seen manuals on DVD for a price much cheaper than the paper ones.

*gasp* you ain't gonna find a paper manual "for free" - I've NEVER seen it

you can get the manual on CD for a cheaper price, but I think you are still gonna hafta pay for it.

Cheap ... look on certain auction sites .... or try on the forum here in the WTB section .......

Free ... not likely .... remember GM owns the copyright to this information. If someone posts it on the web for "free" they are in violation of the GM copyright.

Smell the coffee ... you want many thousands of pages of "information" for free ?????? ...... Notgonnahappen.com ..... Information has a "real" value today .... you should expect to pay for it ......

Kinda like when a client of the architect I M Pei tried to "negotiate" his fee on a project .... Mr Pei explained to them ....

My name is I M Pei (pronounced PAY) ..... not I M Free ....

Get your wallet out and wake up to reality ....

It is very in depth. The paper version is 1400 pages. Get the DVD with all GM cars for a period of 9 years. I bought mine for $25 last year and it covers 97 through 05. I have a 97 paper manual and I know it is much easier to use the DVD version as it can be searched and has hotlinks that jump you from one section to another for various procedures while in the paper manual all you see is slightly shaded text (where the hotlink is in the DVD) and you have to figure out where it links to (not always obvious).
