Exclamation GM produced F Platform service video

MODERATORS: I know "The General" is not a sponsor, but I figure this is pretty valuable data...

Item #10240.20-K
F-Car Service Issues - This GM Service Know-How video covers several areas of service for the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. The 2002 model year is the 35th anniversary and final year of production for these vehicles. The Camaro/Firebird story does not end with the 2002 model year. After production ends, these cars will continue to be enjoyed by our customers, who will continue to rely on GM technicians for service. A variety of service issues are highlighted along with bulletins numbers for reference. Primarily, 1993 to 2002 model years are covered. This presentation is categorized by areas of service that are similar to ASE categories and Service Information for easy understanding.

It'd be cool to have somebody digitize this thing and then make it available online for the masses

Just got the video. It comes with a video of only 20 minutes and a booklet about bulletins. The video talks about a few bulletins and shows -but not too detailed- how to adjust window, fixing leak t-top, other... it tell of a mod for the opti spark system, I think alot of the info on their has or can be had here with a search. It talks about engine consumpion and the guy in the video said a change of the piston rings is nessary to cure oil consumptions and that it could be fix under warrenty by the dealership. Not what I expected, no details or step by step video. It seems this is an instructial video for gm technitions -as video mentions- along with the booklet is supposed to help with future test for gm certificate or ase -not sure.

I called the phone number for a refund they tell me this is gm technitian hotline, then they go on to ask how and where did I get the video. Im have to email them and see what the deal is so far looks like I got burned. So if someone is interested in seeing the video send me a pm.
