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.

Easy to buy and download. Chris Winfrey was very helpful. Thanks.

F off

The manual seems to be complete and was easy to download. The pages are images, however, and not searchable.

Where were wiring diagrams?

Very difficult to navigate seems like similar information is in several random locations

All other content is as promised

Very hard to navigate. Could not even find a index

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

Not a hard copy manual and the file is to big too load on my computer.

I'm trying to download the manual to my laptop. Can't get a table of contents on my phone. Might have a better review the

After directions from from factory manuals,
I downloaded Adobe Acrobat-working great. Great customer service!!!

easy

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.

Delivery via wifi great.

Great

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.

Manual ok. Very hard to find info pertaining to my vehicle

Easy to use and great to look up tech specs.

Easy to find the exact manual for your vehicle, great directions for the download process for the less than savvy internet users.

The manual is awesome!

Pretty good manual, bookmarking could be a little better

I am unable to open the manual. I guess I didn't process something right.

Got the manual almost immediately.

I need a printed 2015 Ford Taurus 3.5 engine repair manual either Chilton or Haynes

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.

Vary easy

Very satisfied with my purchase. Has all clear details and fixes like the oem factory manual have. Thanks and God bless you.

Finding and ordering the manual for my vehicle was very easy

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 1994 GMC C3500 lists three engines, one of them the turbocharged 6.5L diesel V8 and the others naturally aspirated gasoline V8s of 5.7L and 7.4L. Five body configurations use them: standard, extended and crew cab pickups, and cab-and-chassis trucks with two or four doors. Trim is Sierra SL, Sierra SLE or Sierra SLT. Because so many combinations share one frame, the system-by-system organization matters — engine, driveline, chassis, body and electrical sections each carry their own specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics.

Known issues on the 1994 C3500. Two recalls are on record for this model year. One describes brake-light switch wiring installed with its polarity reversed, which wears the switch contacts prematurely until the lamps stop warning drivers behind that the truck is slowing. The other covers replacement oil filters that may seal poorly and let engine oil escape into a fire risk. Of the nine owner complaints held by NHTSA, five concern the service brakes and three the structure. Brake hydraulics, the stop lamp circuit and the frame and body mountings are all covered here with procedures, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics.
