i have the haynes guide, its for 93-02 fbodys.
chiltons is another good one.

I've got the Chilton 93-02. It would be better if it were 98-02 though.

Lol yeah my brother had rolling around his Chilton for the F-body and was reading through it and it looked very informative. I am taking it from him since he can't even change his own oil on his Camaro lol.

I would get the actual GM service manuals... I got all three books for $135.00
from http://helminc.com It is an excellent resource...right to the pin outs on EVERY connector...They are the ones that print the actual GM manuals.. The same info is also on the last page of your owners manual...

I bought all three factory manuals for our '02, brand new, in the wrapper, for $100.

You just can't beat the information in them if you are serious about wrenching on your car.

I have looked at the All Data CD's carried in our local parts stores for around $25 -- has anyone tried them?

I agree Pajeff02, Mine is the one for 01' F-bodies only, stilled wrapped in plastic..So they are year specific manuals....

I know there are dealers in automotive literature that may stock them. I purchased mine from such a dealer at Carlisle last Fall.

Thanks everyone for the info, yes LS1 is great but sometimes I would need answer now lol and sometimes the search does not have it.

Is that subscription for one (1) vehicle only, or multiple vehicles?

1 yr, single vehicle.

They have multi years subscriptions and multi car subscriptions (I think it was $17 for an additional one). It is far better than Haynes or Ciltons manuals.

Not sure what a reapid or repaid manual is. I've heard of repair manuals though.

**Sailor** · 11-30-2009, 04:06 PM

I paid $125.00 for the 3 manual GM set for the 2002 Firebird/Camaro approx 2 years ago.

I just sold my 2002 Firebird Formula so I have them up for sale.

EDIT: I deleted the link as the manuals have been sold.
