Isn't that just the book version of the CD-based factory shop manual? If so....I already have it, accesible from our network server via a pc I put in the garage.

TheDon · #3 02-26-2008, 05:37 PM

yea.. but the book is a lot better...

The pictures are better as well as the fact that you can hold it... I prefer books over CD manuals..

Plus.. I had the extra cash... I think of it as a Bday present to myself

The CD-based FSM sucks when it comes to the wiring diagrams -- many of them are entirely useless due to the low-quality scans. See this thread of mine for a discussion on it (or go directly to the post with the screen shot of the craptacular diagram I wanted to use, but couldn't). Nearly 2/3 of the folks who responded to the poll agreed that the CD-based FSM is lacking in quality.

ha.. see my 72$ purchase was good...

(Now I just need the chassis manuals)

I'm too cheap to buy one right now....but I'll be on there getting one at some point. I'm known as the DarkSniper on ebay.

So I always win.

I hardly believe that there is copyright on a book that was published for the last time 25 years ago.
