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 Venture documents the van's final year, sold as an LS, LT or Plus on the four-door mini passenger van body with a single naturally aspirated 3.4L pushrod V6 of 207 cubic inches. By this point the design was long settled, and the manual reads that way: system-by-system procedures, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic charts for a vehicle whose faults are more often wear and age than anything else, from the sliding door mechanism to the cooling system.

Engines covered

  • 3.4L V6 (207 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door mini passenger van

Trims covered

Known issues on the 2005 Venture. Three recalls attach to this year. One covers replacement steering knuckles that can break in the hub area and leave the driver without steering. Another concerns the power sliding door, where a passenger gripping the interior handle as the motor opens it can have an arm forced into the seat back or armrest. The third involves fuel pressure regulators built without an O-ring and retainer, which can leak fuel. Owners logged 42 complaints, split evenly between the fuel system and structure at eight each, with four on service brakes.
