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 2009 Chevrolet Avalanche is written for a four-door crew cab pickup in Base, LS, LT and LTZ trim, powered by one of two naturally aspirated overhead-valve V8s — the 5.3-liter of 325 cubic inches, flex-fuel or gasoline, and the 6.0-liter of 364 cubic inches on gasoline. Each engine gets its own specifications for fuel delivery, ignition and emissions, and both share the transmission, driveline, brake, suspension and body electrical procedures that make up the rest of the book.

Engines covered

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

Body styles covered

  • 4-door crew cab pickup

  • Base

Known issues on the 2009 Avalanche. Five recalls are recorded for this model year. Three describe an air bag inflator that can rupture during deployment and drive metal fragments at the occupants. A fourth involves the fuel system control module, whose sealant can separate from the housing and admit water, producing shorts or open circuits, a lit service engine lamp, stored trouble codes and hard starting. The fifth is the heated washer module that can ignite. Air bags take 47 of 96 complaints, and restraint, fuel control and body electrical diagnosis are all covered here.
