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 2008 Chevrolet Express 3500 has seven bodies to describe, cargo and passenger vans with three or four doors, standard and extended wheelbase, and the two-door cutaway, which is why door, glass, lock and seal procedures take up as much room here as engine work does. The four engines are the turbocharged 6.6L diesel V8 of 403 cubic inches and the naturally aspirated 6.0L, 5.3L and 4.8L gasoline V8s. Base, LS and LT are the trims.

Known issues on the 2008 Express 3500. The complaint tally for this year is 28, spread mainly across three systems: six on the service brakes, five on the power train and four on the electrical system. All three are covered in detail, from hydraulic brake bleeding order, booster and antilock diagnosis and friction specifications, through transmission and rear axle overhaul with fluid capacities and torque values, to wiring diagrams keyed to connectors and grounds so a fault can be traced to a section of harness rather than guessed at.
