The Helm Manual are the ones that are in the glove compartment when you purchase the vehicle new. |

Definitely do not supply them with your car :) Haynes are like Chiltons, those cheapie ones you buy at Autozone, if I remember. Dope Helm does have repair manuals, earlier in the thread someone was asking for the factory manual. I got my set from HELM. If you go to their website they've got manuals for different things. I was trying to answer different questions with one answer. My bad for not being clear. |
Helms manual are the service manuals used at the Dealership.. written by GM, published by Helms. This is the book that you want. They are $120. Haynes and chilten manuals are for the weekend warrior.. Helms are for the technicians. Get the Helms. I did. |
I bought the 2002 Firebird/Camaro manuals form http://www.helminc.com Like stated earlier, it is 3 volumes of books, about 8" thick. Just a little light reading. |
So for a 2001 engine, it would be. http://www.helminc.com/helm/product2...MJ0GA7NSAHAJ19 I need it mostly for hooking up the fuel supply and modify the eingine wiring harness, which books should I buy best? http://www.helminc.com/helm/Result.a...MJ0GA7NSAHAJ19 Thanks Peter |
GMP01F The other books do not include the wiring diagrams. |
Thanks, looks like I will be spending 120...or does anyone know where to get it a bit cheaper??? |
Helm's Manual for a 98 Camaro 3.8 V-6 Does anyone know where I can get the Helm manual for a 98 Camaro with a 3.8 V-6 engine with an automatic trans? Looking for the dash gauge cluster wiring diagrams. You can email me if you like at: kamaki8@hawaii.rr.com. |
As has been said, the Helm manuals ARE the GM factory service manuals - Helm is just their publisher. These books are correct at the time of publication, but, since some of our cars are getting a bit elderly . . . you might want to also spend a day checking TSB's (service bulletins) and printing out the more interesting ones. If I remember right, you can get full access to the GM service info for a day for $20: http://www.acdelcotds.com/transactio...bscription.asp Unless you're an experienced technician, it's still good to get a Haynes manual, since it will fill in some of the details of the repairs that are assumed by the FSM. My job is writing and editing auto repair manuals. I find the more information I can get, the better. And GM manuals these days are getting pretty hard to use. |
