Which repair manual?

[schwartr88]

What is the better repair manual for basic do-it-yourself work on an 02 gm sonoma? chilton or haynes? Im sure its opinionated, but Id like to hear the pros/cons of the two.

buy them both. each will have something that the other left out. the best one to get is the factory service manual.

The one thing I wish is that they would make these manuals available sooner. I am still waiting for one to be available for my car.

Right now I dont have time to make a trip to the dealers (work/school) and they are not available online so Ill go with haynes.

If you go to a nice college their library might have Mitchell's on-demand online. Check out your school library website or ask around.

My public library has Mitchell's On-Demand, but it's only accessible inside the library "due to licensing restrictions".

From my own PC, I can access Chilton manuals through the library website. I have to enter my library barcode number in order to access them, however.
