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.

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 1990 Chevrolet Astro has twice the body count of the earlier books: extended and standard lengths, each as a three-door cargo van and a three-door passenger van. Power still comes from either the 262-cubic-inch 4.3-liter overhead-valve V6 or the 151-cubic-inch 2.5-liter overhead-valve four, naturally aspirated on gasoline, and the trims remain Base, CL, CS and LT. The added length matters most in the body and electrical chapters, where the diagrams are drawn per body style.

Engines covered

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

Body styles covered

  • 3-door extended cargo van
  • 3-door extended passenger van
  • 3-door standard passenger van
  • 3-door standard cargo van

Known issues on the 1990 Astro. Seven recalls stand against this year federally. A fuel return hose can break where it is crimped to its coupling and spill fuel; a replacement fuel filter can fail to seal at its connection and do much the same. Restraints account for two more — belts positioned above the pelvis, and a rear anchorage bar that will not take crash loads — and a seat recliner joint can loosen until its bolts break. Service brakes dominate the 80 complaints with 32, well ahead of steering at nine, and the hydraulic and foundation brake procedures here answer them.
