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 1989 GMC S15 pairs two pickup bodies, an extended cab and a standard cab, with three gasoline engines: the 2.8L and 4.3L overhead-valve V6s and a 2.5L overhead-valve inline-four. Three trims are named: Base, High Sierra and Sierra Classic. The book is organized by system rather than by variant, so its engine, transmission, axle, brake, suspension and electrical sections apply across the range, each with its own procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics.

Engines covered

  • 2.8L V6 (173 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 4.3L V6 (262 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.5L inline-four (151 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door extended cab pickup
  • 2-door standard cab pickup

Trims covered

  • Base
  • High Sierra
  • Sierra Classic

Known issues on the 1989 S15. Three recalls appear on the federal record. Two involve replacement lamps sold without the amber side reflectors federal rules require. The third is more serious: engine cooling fan blades that crack from fatigue and can break apart, throwing a piece at anyone standing near an open hood. Eleven owner complaints are logged, and the reported ones cluster on engine and engine cooling and the electrical system, with exterior lighting also represented. Cooling system procedures, fan specifications, torque values and electrical wiring diagrams and diagnostics are the sections that match.
