Hey, i was wondering if anyone knew if there is an alternative
service manual for our cars then the Helms. I looked
at CHiltons and Haynes, but neither had our model.
Is the Helms book my only option?

Thanks
Sar

Hey Sar,

Haynes probably has a manual but my guess is that it's lumped together with other models and they call it the W-body manual. They are probably not up to 2000's yet either. They usually lag behind a couple of years.
Helm's is definitely the way to go if your serious about repairing your vehicle. If it's anything tougher than a brake job or changing the water pump, the aftermarket manuals usually tell you to take it to a certified mechanic anyways.
If the price is scaring you away, keep an eye on e-bay. I got mine for less than $40.00. That was a steal though. Most of the time it's closer to $75 or $90.

I agree... keep your eyes out on eBay for service manuals. I got a set of service CDs for all 1997-2001 GM vehicles for about $50. These are the same CDs used by dealerships and contain very good information.

Thanks! I will keep my eyes out on ebay also for the Helms.

just shell out the extra dough and buy new.

Saves the hassle. Im sure yout time is worth that amount of money.
