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 GMC Safari covers four body variants, extended and standard cargo vans and extended and standard passenger vans, all with three doors, in Base, SLE, SLT and SLX trim. The engine bay held either the 4.3L V6 or the 2.5L inline-four, overhead-valve gasoline units with no forced induction. Adding the long wheelbase stretches the chassis and body content, and the procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are laid out by system for every one of those combinations.

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

Trims covered

  • Base
  • SLE
  • SLT
  • SLX

Known issues on the 1990 Safari. Four recalls are recorded. Fuel return hoses can break at either crimped coupling and spill fuel where it can ignite. A two-piece brake rotor can corrode at the joint between its steel center and cast outer ring until the sections come apart. A rear seat belt anchorage bar failed to hold the loads the federal standard demands. Seat recliner bolts torqued over foam or vinyl work loose and fatigue. Of the 37 owner complaints, 15 name the service brakes, six the body structure and five the seats, which is where the brake and seat procedures here earn their keep.
