Ebay truck parts pdf.

I came across this and was wondering if any of you have bought this and if you liked it, thought it was a waste of money, disappointed with the quality, etc. I already own the truck factory assembly book, but would like the convenience of a computer file.

Thanks, HG

Re: Ebay truck parts pdf.

i like having the book, it's good to have everything printed out for you. any diagrams you find on the computer, or exploded views or whatever you usually end up printing and taking it to the garage. having the book means you've (printed) everything and don't need to run inside and get the computer greasy when you need info.

Re: Ebay truck parts pdf.

That book just isn't the easiest thing to navigate. No index, sometimes no order to what you find paging through it. It's big and not the best binding, feels like the pages will fall out. I'm glad I have it because it's better than nothing.

It is just a book that the guy scanned into a pdf file.

Re: Ebay truck parts pdf.

If he's iligally making copies of a book then I guess he couldn't complain if you made copies of his CD and sold them to board members...

Re: Ebay truck parts pdf.

Does that show part numbers or just group numbers and diagrams?

Re: Ebay truck parts pdf.

I got one, I don't use it much. I have the manuals in book form and go to them first. But then again I have a really slow computer, and there is a TON of info on the disc, and I am "computer challenged" and have trouble navigating. I guess a good analogy is it is like when you go to a search engine and type something in and a million things come up...you know what you need is in there..the question is, do you have the patience to find it.

I like asking questions here, I get a fast response in plain english.

I say money is better spent supporting the board.

Just my 02

Fleetside Paul, is it copyrighted? If not, are you willing to share?
