If you want to make engine repairs, this manual gives good "how to" information. But there is no "tricks of the trade" type information and to really use this manual you will need to be pretty familiar with similar vehicle types and engine repairs and have all the "mechanic tools." It has a good number of pictures a little better detail than the comparable Haynes manual and covers a few more subjects. I am not sure of the accuracy of the book because I had no intention in rebuilding the engine or transmission, so much of it is a waste to me. I really purchased it for information on how to remove & replace interior and exterior items that a mechanically inclined consumer might upgrade or to perform maintenance work such as belts, breaks, struts. For some of the maintenance items, there is information to work from as part of larger projects but in general this manual does not provide that information and I am disappointed in the purchase. It does provide some info for working on breaks and suspension and more information on the airbag suspension than the Haynes.

For the particular electrical problem I had this book was very good. Reading through the rest of the book I found educational and well written.

I bought this because my truck didn't come with an owners manual. This book does NOT take it's place. It's fine if you want to replace the heater core, but not a fuse.
