Where To Get A Factory Service Manual

don0442 · March 13, 2009

Does anyone know where I can get a factory service manual for a GM800 (Specifically a 2005 GMC 1500 Ex Cab Sierra)? And does it include wiring diagrams and pin-outs for the various connectors?

I don't know if your specifically looking for a hard copy, but I use this a lot so I don't have to pull out the one in the glove box. I'm sure they have yours. http://www.extendedgmwarranty.com/owners-m...-GMC-Sierra.pdf

eBay for me is the best place to pick up a set. Sometimes you can get stuff cheap. For my 04 i am looking at just over $100 for a set of 5 books and new are $170. I've never priced them through the actual seller but I know they are outrageous.

In the past I bought manuals for a 92 for $20, a 96 for $40, a 99 for $50, and a 2001 for $60. (starting at one book and working up to 4 books. -the 04 would be 5 books)

I bought a set of GM books off ebay for my 2005 Denali for about $120 shipped...

If all else fails, I've always been able to get factory service manuals from the dealer if the vehicle is not too old. The last set I bought (set of 4 books) was $165, but they paid for themselves with a quickness!

I prefer the printed books as opposed to a CD. Sometimes the wiring diagrams are very big and you just can't see these things very well on a small computer monitor. Nor can you take them out to your vehicle.

Also sometimes I'll be laying in bed or whatever and suddenly think of something which could be causing a problem and want to look it up in the book. Easy to grab the book and quickly look.
