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.

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 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 covers three cabs — standard, extended and crew — the widest body spread in this run of years, and five trims: Base, WT, LS, LT and 400 SS. Power comes from two naturally aspirated overhead-valve gasoline V8s, the 6.0L of 364 cubic inches and the 5.3L of 325. Because the crew cab changes the rear seating, belt routing and floor wiring, the body sections matter as much as the engine sections on this one.

Engines covered

  • 6.0L V8 (364 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 5.3L V8 (325 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 2-door standard cab pickup
  • 4-door extended cab pickup
  • 4-door crew cab pickup

Known issues on the 2004 Silverado 2500. Eight recalls appear for 2004. A parking brake whose friction linings can wear until the brake no longer holds a parked truck is one. A hydraulic brake booster accumulator that can crack and separate from its assembly is another. The third worth spelling out is a fuel rail pulse damper retainer clip that fractures, letting the damper work loose so fuel escapes and can find an ignition source. Of 1,848 complaints, 677 are service brakes, 498 electrical and 140 steering — the hydraulic, wiring and steering diagnostics here cover all three.
