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 Safari covers the long-wheelbase van only, as a three-door extended cargo van or a three-door extended passenger van, and its trim list has no Base entry: SL, SLE, SLT and SLX are what appear. The single engine is the 4.3L V6, 262 cubic inches, overhead-valve, naturally aspirated, gasoline. Body electrical content has grown by this point, and the wiring diagrams, diagnostics, procedures, specifications and torque values are grouped by system to keep that manageable.

Engines covered

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

Body styles covered

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

Known issues on the 1998 Safari. Five recalls are on the federal record. A short circuit in the outside rearview mirror switch can disable it, damage the driver's door with heat and even ignite components inside it. Integrated child seats may be missing a retractor spring, leaving the belt locked or unable to lock. The audible belt reminder may not sound at all or may stop short of the required interval. Owner complaints reach 112, with 17 on the service brakes, ten on the steering and nine on vehicle speed control, so door wiring and brake diagnostics both get use.
