What's the best service manual to get for the 2500s? Haynes/Chilton usually aren't my first choice. Bentley used to be pretty good for my VWs, but they don't seem to make one for my truck...

Mine were $95 so I'd say $120 is a fair price. That what I usually see them go for.

I see this one there now. Is that a typical price? Also, do the cover 1500-3500, or are they 1/2 ton and HD specific?

They cover everything except natural gas/propane fuel systems and the rear HVAC in Suburbans. There are separate supplements for those.

Helminc is where you can get the ones revered to in the owners manual.

Yup. People have a habit of overcharging for beat up used copies on eBay. Check here, you can probably get a brand new set for around the same price.

Thanks all!

I looked at the Helminc manuals and they seemed quite a bit more ($200). I can live with the used ones for nearly half the price. They look like exactly what I was after.

Be careful.
A complete1998 GM light truck Service manual is likely 3 or 4 volumes. The 1998 GM light truck Unit Repair Manual is another Two volumes.
Evilbay sellers tend to imply 1 or 2 volumes of 3 or 4 volume sets are complete.

This is a scan of both volumes of the 98 Unit repair manual. Get a paper copy on evilbay.
