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 1990 Chevrolet C1500 asks a lot of one volume: six engines, six trims and two cab styles. The engines run from the 4.1L inline-six of 250 cubic inches to the 7.4L V8 of 454, with the 4.3L V6, the 5.0L and 5.7L V8s and a 6.2L diesel V8 of 379 cubic inches between them, all naturally aspirated. Base, WT, Cheyenne, Scottsdale, Silverado and 454 SS set the equipment. A truck has to be identified by engine and trim before its torque values, clearances and diagnostic paths can be read off.

Engines covered

  • 5.0L V8 (305 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 7.4L V8 (454 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 6.2L V8 (379 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, diesel
  • 4.3L V6 (262 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 5.7L V8 (350 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 4.1L inline-six (250 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

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

Trims covered

  • Base
  • 454 SS
  • Cheyenne
  • Scottsdale
  • Silverado

Known issues on the 1990 C1500. Three recalls appear on the federal record. The restraint entry covers instructions for adjusting the rear lap-and-shoulder belts that were printed incorrectly, so a belt adjusted as directed might not restrain an occupant in a sudden stop. Two more concern replacement filters that can seal badly, one letting fuel escape at the connection and one letting engine oil out, with fire the consequence in both. Twenty-two complaints are on record, seven on service brakes, three on seat belts and two on the fuel system, each a system this manual specifies and diagnoses.
