I also have a desire for a service manual, but was concerned that it would be too technical for me to get much use out of it without a lot of significant mechanical comprehension upgrade on my part. I hope it is ok to latch on to your thread with my concerns.
I would also like to have the information in a less expensive and digital format.
I just can't cough up the money for a print copy, sight unseen, for fear it will be full of a lot of calls for special tools and shop techniques unavailable to me because of low skill. I can handle a Chilton's manual , but stuff written for a trained pro might be over my head, as it often seems so when I am exposed to the information, and I might get little return on my purchase. So a lower entry price would be good, as always.

The factory manual is fairly easy to read, however it does call for using factory instruments for trouble shooting. The amount of usable information included in the three books is well worth the expense in my opinion.

I own the manual and the CD. Both have their advantages, and yes they are expensive but well worth it.
I uploaded the entire manuals, 98-99;00-03; and 2004 onto my webserver. It's a lot of material for sure, but i have unlimited space available.

Looking for 2004 factory service manuals
I need some help finding the right service manual. I find a set of two for $275. Can't seem to find anything that's pure digital.
