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 GMC B7 documents five engines: the 6.0L and 7.0L OHV gasoline V8s, the turbocharged 7.2L and 6.6L OHV inline-six diesels and the turbocharged 6.5L OHV V8 diesel. The body is the cab forward school bus, designated B7T042. Each engine has its own specifications, torque values and diagnostic routines, which matters when the same chassis can arrive at the shop with any one of five power units in it.

Engines covered

  • 6.0L V8 (366 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 7.2L inline-six (441 cu in) — OHV, turbocharged, diesel
  • 7.0L V8 (427 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 6.5L V8 (395 cu in) — OHV, turbocharged, diesel
  • 6.6L inline-six (403 cu in) — OHV, turbocharged, diesel

Body styles covered

  • Bus (school), cab forward

Trims covered

  • B7T042

Known issues on the 1998 B7. Nothing is recorded against this bus on the federal side, neither recall action nor owner complaint. The manual is left to cover the machinery, and there is a good deal of it. Every engine on the list is documented with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics, and the cab forward chassis receives the same treatment through its brake, steering, suspension, driveline and body electrical systems.
