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.

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.

Item as described quick delivery

This factory service and repair manual is written specifically for the 2005 Cadillac Escalade, matched to its model year, engine and trim rather than adapted from a generic full-size SUV. Whether your truck runs the 5.3L V8 (VIN T, LM7) or the 6.0L V8 (VIN N, LQ9), the procedures match the engine under your hood.

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

  • 4-door sport utility

Trims covered

  • Base

Known issues on the 2005 Escalade. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the shift lever position indicator, which under certain starting conditions may fail to illuminate, leaving the driver unsure which gear the vehicle is in and risking the vehicle moving in an unintended direction. The second covers the second-row center seat belt, whose routing can prevent the lap portion from sitting low on the hips, raising the risk of abdominal and internal organ injury in a crash. The third covers certain aftermarket FRAM replacement fuel filters whose connector was not manufactured to spec, which can keep the O-ring from seating correctly on the fuel line and lead to a fuel leak and, near an ignition source, a fire. The fourth covers certain aftermarket Federal-Mogul wheel hub assemblies, where the inboard retention nut used to maintain the hub bearing assembly can loosen and cause an ABS light indication, noise, and/or wheel separation. Owners have filed 62 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From a shift-indicator or seat belt check to a full driveline service on either V8, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2005 Escalade.
