Service Manuals
Service manuals contain diagnostic and repair
information for all chassis and body systems. They may
be useful for owners who wish to get a greater
understanding of their vehicle. They are also useful for
owners
with the appropriate skill level or training who
wish
to perform “do-it-yourself” service. These are
authentic General Motors service manuals meant for
professional, qualified technicians.
Service Bulletins
Service bulletins covering various subjects are regularly
sent
to all General Motors dealerships. GM monitors
product performance
in the field. When service methods
are found which promote bettefservice on
GM vehicles,
bulletins are created
to help the technician perform
better service. Service bulletins may involve any number
of vehicles. Some will describe inexpensive
service; others will describe expensive service. Some
will advise of new or unexpected conditions, and others
may help avoid future costly repairs. Service bulletins
are meant for qualified technicians. In some cases
bulletins refer to service manuals, specialized
tools,
equipment and safety procedures necessary to service
the vehicle. Since these bulletins are issued throughout
the model year and beyond, an index is required and
published quarterly to help identify specific bulletins. Subscriptions are available.
You can order an index at
the toll-free numbers listed previously, or ask a
GM
dealer to see an index or individual bulletin.
Owner Publications
Owner’s manuals, warranty folders and various owner
assistance booklets provide owners
with general
operation and maintenance information.
