Default Which shop manual?

Hey Guys,

I just bought a 98 Blazer with 60k miles. It's in pretty good shape, but has a few issues, mostly minor electrical stuff. Which shop manual would you recommend?

I found a Helm factory manual for $90, but I don't know that I'll need it often enough to make it worth while.

Thanks,


Chris

I won a Helm on eBay over the weekend, $73 shipped. Not too bad, but much cheaper than a trip to the dealer.

Now you need to pick up a proper scantool! I have an AutoEnginuity scanner and it has saved me quite a few $$$. I had an Autotap before and it saved me quite a bit, but the AutoEnginuity scanner has bi-directional controls so I can work through the diagnostic procedures in my FSMs.
