Chilton by far is better, the only problem is I think they only make one for the 93-97 fbody.

dealer manuals or the dvds in the classifieds are the best. a copy of juggs magazine would be a better help than chilton or haynes.

I've always used helms, they are good for those hard to diagnose issues. BUT Chilton/Hyanes are good for explaining common issues.

Forget the Haynes/Chilton and go straight to the Helms factory service manuals.
