In my "tinkering" days I used to buy Chilton's for light maintenance documentation and Haynes for deep mayor jobs. I have to say that the Haynes books that I used to have were the ones sold in the UK, and they were awesome. True to form and tradition, when I got my new "toy" truck (hey, midlife crisis takes many forms!) I wanted to be able to "tinker" with it (in for a penny, in for a pound!) as in my younger years so I bought the Chilton's and this. To my surprise they are both the same. I don't mean they are alike, I mean they are the same book, verbatim!. Not what Haynes used to be, the quality of the phisical book and the quality of the information inside is not what I was expecting. If you want something that will help you with the maintenance of the car, buy either one, but by all means don't buy both. Probably you should buy Chilton because they are still consistent with the kind of book they have always been.

i mean really if you dont have any knowledge working on your vehicle then dont work on it, but if you want to learn and try the 'simple' things this book is great!!! even the adv stuff makes it seem easy.

all the right tools + this book = money in the bank.

just be safe out there

As with this type of manual it is hit and miss. It points you in the right direction but tries to generalize some things which makes you have to guess sometimes. It's worth the price as the OEM repair manuals can cost upwards of $100. So all in all this will get you going but be prepared to figure some stuff out on your own. For instance the brake pictures that are shown do not match what I have on my tuck.

Great source of knowledge for anybody wanting to research your next project (i.e. replacing brakes, brake master cylinder, etc). Tons of pictures and break downs of every part of your vehicle.
