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 2012 GMC Sierra carries the same pair of naturally aspirated, overhead-valve flex-fuel V8s that define the truck in this period, the 325-cubic-inch 5.3L and the 376-cubic-inch 6.2L. Two cabs are listed, the two-door standard cab pickup and the four-door crew cab, and two trims, Base and Denali. Everything is arranged by system rather than by trim, so trim level rarely changes a lookup, and the diagnostics stay in one place.

Engines covered

  • 5.3L V8 (325 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, flex-fuel
  • 6.2L V8 (376 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, flex-fuel

Body styles covered

  • 2-door standard cab pickup
  • 4-door crew cab pickup

Trims covered

  • Base
  • Denali

Known issues on the 2012 Sierra. Three recalls appear on the federal record for this year. Two of them address a front passenger air bag inflator that can rupture as it deploys and send sharp metal into the passenger compartment. The third concerns fire extinguishers shipped with the truck that may become clogged and fail to work when a fire starts. Complaint volume is low by the standards of this model line at 49 entries, spread thinly across the electrical system with 9, the structure with 7 and the steering with 7. Restraint and harness diagnostics remain the useful sections.
