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 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 covers three trims — Base, LS and LT — over five bodies that begin with a two-door cab and chassis and end with a four-door crew cab pickup. The mechanical spread stays wide: a turbocharged 6.6L diesel V8 beside gasoline V8s of 6.0L, listed as gasoline or CNG, 8.1L and 5.7L. Wiring diagrams, torque values and diagnostic procedures follow those splits rather than assuming a single configuration.

Engines covered

  • 6.6L V8 (403 cu in) — OHV, turbocharged, diesel
  • 6.0L V8 (364 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline or CNG
  • 8.1L V8 (496 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 5.7L V8 (350 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

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

Trims covered

  • Base
  • LS
  • LT

Known issues on the 2005 Silverado 3500. The federal record runs to eight recalls for this year. Two are fuel leaks waiting on a fastener: a pulse damper retainer clip on the 8.1L that can fracture, and fuel rail crossover tube retainer screws made out of specification that can break and let the joint weep as the engine stalls. A shift lever sequence that does not comply with the federal standard can leave the truck moving in a direction the driver did not select, and a brake booster accumulator can crack apart. Electrical faults lead the 1,185 complaints at 336, ahead of 270 on the service brakes.
