Avg Cusomer Rating: 2 Reviews: Summary: Jack of all trades, master of none The problem with the guide is that it tries to cover all the different models in one book, but ends up not being specific enough for a given model. I found I have to constantly read between the lines to figure out what actually needs to be done on my 1997 Silverado. I am going to try the Hanes. Summary: Lots of Information on Trucks This book provides you with all of the basic information needed to proform basic and some major jobs on trucks. It was easy to work with and it gave step by step instructions. It was a nice change to work with. Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 2 Reviews: Summary: A model 90 Jimmy 1500 Owner's eview A very shallow book trying to cover too many years and subjects with so little number of pages. Summary: A General Look This book provides a good history about all chevrolets and gmc in the years mentioned. However for a person looking for specific information on one particular chevrolet/gmc pickup this is not a good book. All other information is very general and if you have worked with vehicles you already should know it. The book did not satisfy me. Summary: Excellent resource for Chevy and GMC light trucks This book is a excellent all around guide for those wanting to know more about the popular Chevy/GMC C/K series of light trucks. Author gives useful information for those rebuilding, restoring or maintaining one of these trucks (as well as for those looking for good model years to buy used). Interesting read and offers more than the usual information found in Haynes reference. Could be more in depth in areas, but that is what shop manuals are for... Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 4 Reviews: Summary: mis-labeled, but I like chilton Silverado & GMC Sierra Pick-ups, 1999-2001 Chevrolet Suburban & Tahoe, 2000 and 2001 GMC Yukon & ... (Chilton's Total Car Care Repair Manual) by Jeff Kibler [Paperback] I don't know whose fault it is, but the manual is actually for 99-05 silverado and sierra pickups, 00-05 suburban, tahoe, yukons, et. all, & 02-05 avalanches. Guess I get to order again... :( Summary: dont waste your money Here is a tip from a heavy truck mechanic, with over 20 years experience.Don't waste your money on any of these Chilton or Haynes manuals.They are so general and light on any of the complex problems people are trying to repair ,you might as well not even bother to open it.If you have a vehicle that you are going to keep and maintain go to the dealers service dept and get the factory manuals.You will have to drop close to a hundred bucks or maybe a little more ,but as soon as you open them you will see it was worth the money you spent.Another alternative is to use one of the online services out there that carry every car ever made service manuals and updates online, that is really the way to go.So forget these bone headed Chilton and Haynes manuals that only cover the most basic and simple problem solving information most of which can be thought out with a little common sence.Trying to cram 6 different model types and 15 different model years into a 220 page book is hysterical.Check out the little foot notes through out the whole book "photo may not be of your model just a general view".Hey that's going to fill you with confidence as you have your Transfer Case ripped apart on the floor.Or there lame wiring diagrams, once again read the fine print "your vehicles wiring may look different" yeah big help!.I can't tell you how many Trucks have come into are shop in pieces with one of these grease soaked manuals in the back seat.

Avg Cusomer Rating: 5 Reviews: Summary: Apparent ERROR on page 3-71, Figure 175, ring gap lacation. This is a very helpful, detailed source of information. However, there appears to be an error in the ring gap location as illustrated on page 3-71, in figure 175. Both diagrams are identical. This could be accurate, but if so, why is it necessary to have two diagrams? Number 85773125 appears in the figure, which might be helpful to you in locating the figure in question. Is the figure correct, or incorrect? Shouldn't one diagram be a mirror image of the other? Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 4 Reviews: Summary: From a non-mechanical reader To my surprise with little mechanical knowledge or experience, I was able to understand surprisingly more than I expected. However, there were still procedures I could only understand up to a point where I had to skip on to another section unless I happened to be with a mechanical minded person who could explain in simpler terms. The biggest part of a "4 instead of 5 rating" may even be my incompetence rather than the publisher's writing ability. No doubt it is the best you can get without spending $400-$500 for the auto manufacturer's manuals. Filled with tips and tricks of auto repair which alone are worth the cost of the book. Summary: A little too general This would be a great book for someone new to working on cars. I felt they tried to include too many models to be specific. The pictures and diagrams are usually not of my truck. The general information and the plan of action/troubleshooting sections are good. Summary: |

Avg Cusomer Rating: 3 Reviews: Summary: Great for low riders Great book if you want to lower your truck and just want to cruise, nothing about raising your truck so you can go off-roading. Summary: Great Detail For Building A Chevy PU I found David Shelby's book to be very detailed in giving information about building a Chevy/GMC pickup. Not only does the author tell you how to hot-rod your truck, but he also explains why, and what the different methods are, and how they work. It has helped me tremendously with my project. Summary: |
