During my 37 years of driving I have probably owned a dozen repair manuals, most of which rated 3 to 4 stars. This Chilton's manual barely makes a 2. It covers too many years and models to cover more than the most rudimentary maintenance in any depth; there are too few illustrations; and it does not contain one exploded view of my 3.2L Trooper engine. There are parts on this engine that cannot be even found in this manual! Let's hope Haynes publishes one soon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Covers too many models, April 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Isuzu: Amigo/Pick-Ups/Rodeo/Trooper 1981-96 (Chilton's Total Car Care Manual) (Paperback)

This book covers to many models to be of reall use to one specific model. I have a 1988 Trooper II with a four cylinder engine and found the Hayes Manual much better not to mention cheaper.

2.0 out of 5 stars Leaves the Reader with Questions, September 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Isuzu: Amigo/Pick-Ups/Rodeo/Trooper 1981-96 (Chilton Automotive Books) (Paperback)

Good documentaion in a manual should not be written as though the reader has prior knowledge or hands on experience with the item being described. Haynes does a much better job of photo illustrations along with detailed instructions that are so precise that you accomplish a task with no prior expereience. Chilton's Maual leaves the reader asking "what is that".
Definitely not user friendly!
