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 1988 Chevrolet C15 describes a single-engine truck. The 4.1L inline-six of 250 cubic inches, overhead-valve and naturally aspirated on gasoline, sits in a two-door standard cab pickup sold in Base trim only, and that simplicity is the point of the volume. Every specification in the engine chapter applies to the engine in front of you, every wiring diagram to the circuits actually fitted, and the diagnostic charts do not fork by displacement or equipment level before they reach a cause.

Engines covered

  • 4.1L inline-six (250 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 1988 C15. Nine owner complaints exist for this year, and service brakes account for four of them, the largest single group, ahead of one each on suspension and exterior lighting. The brake sections answer that directly: shoe, drum and lining specifications, hydraulic line and wheel cylinder service, master cylinder testing, the bleeding sequence and pedal travel checks, with torque values for each fastener. Suspension geometry and spring service and the lighting circuit diagrams sit alongside them, together with the diagnostic charts for each.
