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.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

This 1998 Cadillac DeVille factory service and repair manual is built around the exact powertrain and trim on your build sheet, including the 4.6L V8 (VIN Y, LD8) and 4.6L V8 (VIN 9, L37) variants, so the specs and procedures inside are the ones GM published for your car and not a generic stand-in from another DeVille year.

Engines covered

  • 4.6L V8 (281 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door sedan
  • 4-door chassis

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Base Cab &
  • Base Limousine 4-Door
  • Concours
  • d'Elegance

Known issues on the 1998 DeVille. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers quality problems in the side impact sensor modules, which can trigger an inadvertent deployment of the driver or passenger side air bags and cause occupant injury. The second covers a misrouted canister purge evaporative emissions harness that can interfere with the cruise control and throttle linkage, preventing the throttle from returning to closed. The third covers hood hinge pivot bolts that can break from an improper heat-treat condition, allowing the hood to push back through the windshield in a crash and injure occupants. Owners have filed 266 complaints for the year, and the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a side air bag inspection to a throttle linkage check or a hood hinge replacement, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1998 DeVille.
