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 1998 Chevrolet Astro is built on a single powertrain and four bodies: the 4.3-liter overhead-valve V6 of 262 cubic inches, naturally aspirated and gasoline, installed in standard or extended three-door cargo and passenger vans sold as Base, LS or LT. Because every van in the range shares that engine, the fuel, ignition, cooling and emissions chapters are written once and hold throughout, while the body, glass and electrical sections vary with length and with passenger or cargo fitment.

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 1998 Astro. Six recalls appear federally for this year. The most serious mechanism is electrical: a short circuit can develop in the outside mirror switch, heating the driver's door and, in the worst case, igniting components inside it. Integrated child seats can lack a retractor spring, so the belt locks or fails to restrain. A belt reminder that may not sound, a replacement fuel filter that can leak at its connection and two sets of lamps without amber reflectors complete it. Of 293 complaints, visibility leads at 45 and service brakes follow at 38.
