does anybody buy a service manual (like chiltons etc.)anymore?

hell ya i buy 1 for each car i dont want to pay $100 per hr to someone for something i can do myself im not good with electrical , but at least chiltons gives you a good way to go on the simple stuff besides i wont use a computer to get what i need from the internet id never get the grease and oil off the keyboard

Usually depends. If I have a Ford, I don't generally buy a manual as I pretty much know the timing marks and most that can go wrong. I bought a manual for my Subaru last year and now that I now the basics and given that Subarus are all pretty much the same, I won't need to buy another unless I own one with a DOHC to lock the cam damper. Now that the internet is well established it is also much easier to get information online.

try here for any manual for car truck cycle etc frm 1920s till current enjoy~
