Default Help please..... Service manuals

Will the 1998 (3 vol set) factory service manuals cover the later year cars okay?

Why do you need a service manual so bad? Are you selling the car?

There are very few minor differences between 98-02, so yes, a 98 service manual should cover anything that you might need to know about a 99-02.

Yup very different, mostly in the electronics. You can get by with a 98 manual on most of the mechanical aspects of a 99-02 but dont even look at the electronics cause almost everything is different.

Go to Helminc.com
They make the ones for GM and should have the correct one that you need.
