Yeah, I have the haynes, the chiltons and the BGB. The haynes is almost useless imo.

lol. yeah i've never seen that book in the UK. i'm not convinced that it has 5 and 6gc......
Is that a US book? If so it won't be sold here as the engines are different.... -------------------- |

I would agree with everyone above, the Haynes has plenty of good information, but there are also some VERY vague instructions for some things. I've never owned a Chiltons, but hearing from friends that have owned both, the Chiltons is better.

The Haynes has info for 86-99 (pretty much general info), and the chiltons has specific 6gen stuff. Same size, one is just a bit better than the other. But for me it seems it is ewasier to find a Haynes than a chiltons here.
