Haynes vs. Chiltons

I'd like to hear opinions on Haynes vs. Chiltons manuals for 88-98 Chevy / GMC Trucks. I checked Amazon and ePinions but no ratings.

I had both for my 89 s15 and both had errors.

in the 1950 , 1960. 1970's frame Chilton manuals were something you wanted to own, But Chilton Manual after 1980 are USELESS !!

Just buy the GM manuals - haynes and chiltons are half assed clones anyways.

BTW I have 2 sets for GM Trucks (2 manuals per complete set, soft cover) good for 1994+ model years.

Email me with your best offer if you are interested. Both together are about the size of 1 large phone book if you want to guess at shipping/mailing from Ontario Canada.

Neither,

Cheers

Both are not worth it. In aftermarket manuials either Motors or Mitchels (professional service editions). Other then that buy the factory service manuial. Charles

I have found Hayne?s to be less generic and provide more detail and better diagrams than Chiltons does. If you plan to tear things down, Haynes is a better guide.

I agree with every one else!! The factory manuels are the only way to go!!! The others are very generic, and will get you into trouble!!
