technical manuals on line?
is there anyplace to access tech manuals for these vehicles? preferably free but at least at a reasonale price? i just replaced my heater core in a 2000 Blazer and it would have been a tremendous help if i could have known the location of all the fasteners that held the darn box to the firewall. i had a dash removal diagram that was a life saver(got it from a mechanic friend) but once the dash was out, i could only sit and stare at the heater box. then it took six hours to find all the fasteners. i ended up cutting one mounting ear off the heater due to the fastener being lined up with the passenger side exhaust manifold. what a joke!
anyway, an online version of the old MOTOR"S AUTO REPAIR MANUAL would be fantastic! you guys got any information? Chevyman

RE: technical manuals on line?
I get much of my information from AllDataDIY.com. I have a subscription for each one of my automobiles and a few others for family members. It's $20 for the first vehicle and is a yearly subscription of $15/year per vehicle.
As far as physical books go, theirs Haynes & Chiltons. Both are available for around $15-$20. Then there is the ultimate, the Factory Service Manual which is available from Helm Inc. It is kind of cost prohibitive though, at around $200 for the set. You won't get a more complete and handy set of information, however.
I have the FSM for my Bonneville and was lucky enough to pick up the set from eBay for around $45 (retail for $195).

ALLDATA is pretty good.
Also, HELM was mentioned. They are currently having a 50%-off sale until December 31 on 1999-2001 GM literature. A good deal for you since you've got a 2000 and a good deal for me since I've just purchased a 1999

For general tech stuff, try Autozone on teh web. They have a pretty good interactive tech section. Covers most of the basic stuff that can be found in the Haynes/Chilton manuals.

I'm hoping after the end of the month that maybe they'll do some older GM's, I'd like to get a set for my 93 Blazer, it is the only vehicle I am laking hte factory service manual set on.
