Just bought this off of fleabay:

$30 which I thought was fair. I do have a Haynes (which sucks) and the IDI repair supplement but would like to have a pretty complete set of repair manuals.

Thanks

There are copies of the factory service manuals on DVD on eBay. Just sayin

There are times when you need both the paper and electronic versions. A lot of the electronic versions are poorly indexed and hard to navigate through. All depends on what you're doing.

For paper, there's also a Body/Chassis manual, and probably a diesel supplement. But an indispensable one is the EVTM - Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual.

I have had those for other vehicles and they suck in my opinion.

I have a PDF now for my snowmobile that is difficult to navigate. Call me old fashioned but I like a book!!

Got a photo of the cover of that EVIM manual?

Pretty-much the same cover, except the book is "landscape" - binding is on the narrow side.

Update: Manual arrived. It is in pretty good shape and seems to have tons of information. Way more than the Haynes that glosses over everything. Will keep my eyes peeled for the rest so maybe I can get a whole set.

I have the 93 set. Well worth what i paid.

Not I need to find an 85-86 set. Like lilred, I prefer the book.
