Service Manual on disk
I want to get the OEM service mauals but they are pricey. Anyone have any feedback on the factory manual on disk? I got a disk for my Harley and it has everything the OEM hard copy has. I print out the few pages I need or use the laptop. Hope to try this for the Vette

I have my doubts about that disc. It does not look like something GM would produce, no part numbers or copyright. I was under the impression that GM never made a digital copy available. I went ahead and bought the paper ones but it sure would be nice to have an electronic version with search capabilities.

I have a PDF based manual on CD from a 2007 manual. I got the thing for free, so I wasn't concerned much because I also have the paper 3 volume service manual for my 2006. The CD manual I have is missing a lot of sections from the paper manual, so it not a complete manual. BTW, it is not seach capable either, and you can't access one section to the other using the links within the sections.
Perhaps that one on e-bay is different, but I have my doubts. The question to ask is if it has the specific LS2 engine section on the CD.
My CD only has the LS7 engine section, and not the LS2
Good luck

If you bite the bullet, let us know. I'd LOVE a searchable pdf manual.

That PDF version won't be SEARCHABLE. Likely basically a PDF scan of the shop manual. I have one that sits unused.
I did come across the manual that uses the VMWare emulator and it looks and acts like a dealer manual. Searchable, zoomable pics and links to other parts on the manual. That one is nice. Not sure you can find it anymore. Assume some copyright lawyers got involved
Keep an eye out for paper manuals. I caught a brand new 3-vol Helms set for 99 bucks on ebay.
