I've got a 2006 Savana 3500 D-max I'm using as a donor vehicle. The engine/trans are going in a 4x4 project. The van was involved in a front-end collision resulting in damage to some intake parts, as well as the fuse box under the hood. For the motor swap, I'll need a good service manual with electrical diagrams to thin out the electrical harness of anything not related to the engine electronics. Do these E-bay CD's have good elecrical diagrams, or am I better off shelling out the $130 for the Haynes?

So is there a big difference between the one on ebay and the helm inc one?

Oh yeah. Like Hook'em said. Basically Helms > Ebay DVD. However, it is super cheap and enough for most...at least me.

i have a helms for my truck, its 5 phonebook sized manuals that cover every part of the truck, and the pages are even phonebook thickness, so imagine say.....7000+ pages about the 2005 Silverado/Sierra/Denali 1500/2500/3500 and every motor, trans, and option for that year

for $150 bucks its an investment but its a good one if youre a DIYer

The haynes manual for the silverado covers both the gas and diesel engine. it just doesnt say it on the cover.

Can you post the number of that Haynes manual? I've got a 99-06 Silverado, but it only covers up to 6.0L on the 2500+

I ordered both the Duramax supplement and the owners manual for my 08 Sierra from Helm Inc and was not too impressed. Helm did good at shipping them, but the content was pretty vague. the DIY's in this forum are great and i will rely mostly on advise from the veterans. But, that is me.

yeah, its for an 03 silverado, meaning 1500-3500 SCSB-CCLB and every engine, trans, interior you can get for 03

order the right year for your truck and youre in business

If paying by check rather than credit card, pay attention to special instructions. I admit it, didn't. Got distracted in the middle of things or whatever. The check processing fee is around $8 more than the on line order form shows. They sent my $181 check and order ('06 Silverado set) back for short payment and I had to start waiting all over.
