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 1996 Chevrolet Caprice documents a car built in one trim only, the Classic, in four-door sedan and four-door wagon form. The two overhead-valve gasoline V8s continue: a 4.3-liter of 265 cubic inches and a 5.7-liter of 350, both naturally aspirated. Since nothing branches by trim, the specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic routines apply to every car built to this description, which makes cross-checking a repair against the book straightforward.

Engines covered

  • 4.3L V8 (265 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 5.7L V8 (350 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door wagon
  • 4-door sedan

Trims covered

  • Classic

Known issues on the 1996 Caprice. Eight recalls stand on the record for this year. Wheel security appears twice over — lug nuts tightened below specification, and a lower control arm ball joint whose attaching nuts can loosen until the joint pulls out of the knuckle — while the rear lower control arm can crack at the stabilizer bar attachment and fracture. Several others cover replacement lamps built without amber side reflectors, and one concerns two caution labels placed on the same side of the sun visor, where the air bag warning may go unread. Of eighty-four complaints, thirteen name the suspension.
