I'm looking to get my hand on the huge manuals for 4th gen... that include every single bolt spec, howto stuff, and so on.
Think it's called Haynes or something like that... unless that's something different.
I need them, and wonder if anyone has soft copies of them or know where I can find them.

did some searches... no luck.

Thanks,

I have them for my car. I think they are "Helms" manuals, the official GM shop manuals. Each year has its own manual.

I also have a giant pdf file of the GM Fbody parts manual that covers all 4th gen years. I might be able to email it, but it is a very large file.

Anyway, if nobody pipes in here pretty quick, I'll go check them for address etc.

how big a file is it ?
I might setup some sort of ftp so you can have access.

I got 3 books, about 1100 pages when I ordered the ones for my 2002.

125MB

they are mine, now
how much for them and shipping ?

Long gone. Sorry.

why are you still standing there ? go get them

I just went to the dealer...

and how much did that cost you ?

$130.

When I bought mine a couple years ago, Helm had a sale around christmas time. I paid $65 plus freight. The 2001's were on sale (like 95-2001) and the 2002 was still $130. So, I just bought a 2001 manual and it worked great on my 2002. If you can wait, you might watch for that. There is a thread on here somewhere. As I remember Sgarnett and I both bought a set when I posted about the sale.

Check on ebay as well. I have a 1994 model but I picked up a used 1993 Factory Shop Manual for around $20 that covers 99% of what I need for my 1994. I think I saw new ones for various year F-bodies selling for around $100 per set, but you may be able to find used ones as well.

Jim Fossum has a set for 1998 model year listed on SCCAForum for $50.

can't find the thread... have a link ?

Sold I believe: http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/18473.aspx

Just MAKE SURE they are for your year. I know for a fact that some wires behind the dash changed color between certain years. Purple became brown, and so on.

You don't want to be wondering why the book shows "Purple w/ white stripe and pink" when what you see is "Brown and teal w/ white stripe".

I have a buddies 2002 set here I would sell cheap


j/k, seeing if this will get his attention.

got my attention, though... hehehe
does that mean that if you don't get his attention, you actually sell them for cheap ?

Glenn has first shot. If he doesn't want them, they are available.

Are the Helms manuals actually GM SHOP MANUALS?

It's like smacking my nuts between 1x6's finding FACTORY manuals for a BMW but I got lucky and found some for twenty bucks no less..............BUT for the things I was looking for FACTORY manuals were necessary.......Why or what are you looking for in them???

Yes

I have a friend with a full set of Helms for a 1996 Fbod - He wants $60 + shipping.
