In the owner's manual I noticed that GM offers a service manual for $120. Is it bound in a fancy leather binder with my initials in goldleaf ??? Or five times more info than a Haynes or Chilton?? I have used both Haynes and Chilton in the past and found them to be more than helpful.

Is the GM manual worth the extra dough??

TIA,

I Bought One For My 91 Gta 13 Years Ago Its About 4" Thick And Its Awesome Dont Remember What I Paid For It, But Its Nice To Have When You Need It. Id Say Its Worth The $$$ Allthough I Havent Seen One For A Dmax???

yes

Just to give you an idea. The Helms Service manual for the Silverado/Sierra is FIVE volumes, each about two inches thick, printed on 'bible' paper. So I'd agree with jholly, only say it's probably much MORE than five times the info in a Chilton's or Haynes.

It is worth the dough if you want it, just like anything else.

I havent seen any on there yet for the D Max, but I got a the 4 volume set from GM/Helms for my 98 Tahoe on EBay for a little over 50 bucks and a set for my 84 Vette for $30 and change. They are worth the money over the other ones in my opinion and are the same manuals that the Techs use at the dealerships.
