Service Manual Opinions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've bought several "service manuals" for my truck and found, for the most part, they stink. I'm looking at this one now

Does anyone here use this manual? Is it worth the money or is it just going to be another disappointment? Anyone know of another really good one?

Link not working. Chiltons or Helms are the best you can get.

I would go with a GM manual only. Don't bother with Chiltons or Haynes-too generic.
