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 1997 Chevrolet Astro takes one engine — the naturally aspirated, gasoline-fueled 4.3-liter overhead-valve V6 of 262 cubic inches — through four body configurations and three trims. The bodies are three-door vans, cargo or passenger, standard or extended; the trims are Base, LS and LT. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are grouped by system, so brake work, driveline work and body electrical work each sit in one place rather than being scattered through the book.

Engines covered

  • 4.3L V6 (262 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

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

Trims covered

  • Base
  • LS
  • LT

Known issues on the 1997 Astro. Seven recalls stand against the 1997 van. Cracked solder joints on the wiper motor's controller board can stop the wipers outright or leave them working intermittently. The outboard belt on the right-hand rear bucket seat can tear apart in a crash. Integrated child seats can be missing a retractor spring, so the belt binds or will not restrain properly. A belt reminder that may not sound, a replacement fuel filter that leaks at its connection and two nonconforming lamp sets fill out the list. Visibility tops 448 complaints at 64, ahead of brakes at 45.
