PCGUY112887 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Since I lost my auction on some GM service tech manuals, I was wondering how well Chiltons/Haynes manuals cover tearing off the upper and lower intake and replacing the gaskets? Or should I just keep shooting for a GM tech book? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SigEpCutlass Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Most people say they pick up the details they need here that the manual doesn't mention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I've found the Haynes manual for my RX-7 has pictures that are scanned right out of the FSM for my RX-7 lol.....pretty stupid. Most of the instructions are word for word, but some areas the Haynes skimps out on (which is why my FSM is so much thicker IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Like everyone has said, get the GM manual. Those ones, although detailed about some information, miss alot and sometimes leave you confused as to what they mean. I have people asking me about them at work, I dont think there all that great.

cryptnix Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 chiltons covers alot but not that much but the mixture of them both (haynes/chilton) might be as much info as you need then atop of that ... the internet used the search option to find anything useful? i did my rear co's without reading jack shit (i know its supsension but hot damn!)

firefighter_0029 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 The only problem I had with a Haynes/Chiltons Manual is the ECM Codes. They only give you codes for a 2.8 or 3.1. Other than that they'll get you buy I think. They give you torque specs and everything so It should work for you. I like the Haynes better than the Chilton though.
