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 1993 GMC Sonoma is written for a compact pickup in Base, SLE and SLS trim, built as a two-door extended cab or a two-door standard cab. Three naturally aspirated overhead-valve engines are covered: the 2.8L V6 of 173 cubic inches, the 4.3L V6 of 262 cubic inches, and the 2.5L inline-four of 151 cubic inches. Specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic procedures are broken out by system for each of them.

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
  • SLE
  • SLS

Known issues on the 1993 Sonoma. Four recalls are recorded. The one with the widest reach is an automatic transmission whose low and reverse clutch wears until the park pawl cannot engage, so a truck left in park can roll away. Two more cover service fuel parts that can leak: a return line missing its bleed valve, and a poorly sealing replacement filter. The fourth is an antilock system misreading which drive mode the truck is in and stretching a stop. Brakes lead the 73 complaints, ahead of power train and engine cooling, and all three have diagnostic sections here.
