Looks like an incomplete random collection of service manual pages with technical service bulletins mixed in, all in random order. This is nothing like what their site advertises.

I see that key engine, transmission, brake and suspension sections are extremely incomplete or completely missing.

Very disappointing.

I will dispute this with my credit card, and I will lodge a complaint with the various authorities, and I am going to show this to my attorneys, they are going to have fun with these goons.

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Excellent. Now I can actually start working on my cars again with confidence. YouTube videos really are inadequate.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

I didn’t realize I would have a link in an email to click to get another email with another link to download.

This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Chevrolet Caprice covers a four-rung trim ladder — Base, Classic, Classic Brougham and Classic LS Brougham — across sedan, wagon and coupe bodies. The engines are unchanged in character from the year before: a 262-cubic-inch 4.3-liter V6 and two overhead-valve V8s of 305 and 350 cubic inches, all naturally aspirated and burning gasoline. With four trims sharing three engines, the wiring diagrams and interior procedures carry more variation than the mechanical sections do.

Engines covered

  • 5.0L V8 (305 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 4.3L V6 (262 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 5.7L V8 (350 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 4-door wagon
  • 2-door coupe

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Classic
  • Classic Brougham
  • Classic LS Brougham

Known issues on the 1987 Caprice. Four recalls are on the federal record. Two describe leaks that can reach an ignition source — a replacement oil filter that seals inadequately and a replacement fuel filter that can seep at its connection. A third covers a cruise control servo bushing that slips and lets engine speed climb or the throttle stick. The fourth is an improperly formed manual valve link in the transmission, which can separate so the car engages a gear other than the one selected, or starts already in gear. Nineteen complaints were filed, led by four each on speed control and the power train.
