1.0 out of 5 stars
Very incomplete infomation, and loaded with typo's, April 26, 1998
This review is from: Chilton's Repair Manual: Chevrolet S-10 GMC, S-15 Pick-Ups, 1982-91 (Chilton's Repair Manual (Model Specific)) (Paperback)
In an attempt to find missing information from this book, I have found this forum to review it. This is one of the poorest quality technical manuals I have ever seen, or attempted to use. In one instance for example, on compression testing on page 83, the text refers you to the Tune -Up Specifacations chart in chapter 2 for the compression pressure specifacation, and it is simply not there. I have spent numerous hours trying to find information that is simply not there. This is particularly annoying, as the whole point to this type of book is to save time. There are many other areas of missing and and incomplete information, such as interpeting trouble codes stored in the ECM.Even though the manual refers you to them, they simply are not included in the manual at all!! There are also numerous typo's in this manual. That can generally be worked around with a little effort. However, missing information is simply inexcusable!!

Horrible! Missing and incomplete information is bad enough but after an engine rebuild and an engine that would not run I found that the information and specs. were plain WRONG. cost me many days of stress and frustration. Buy a real manual and save yourself the headaches!

I have an old truck, March 25, 2010
This review is from: Chilton's Repair Manual: Chevrolet S-10 GMC, S-15 Pick-Ups, 1982-91 (Chilton's Repair Manual (Model Specific)) (Paperback)
This book this old for a old truck guy like me. It has a
lot of general info. To do oil changes and tune ups.
It dose not cover every thing, but if you need more
you going to a pro any way.
