Maintenance manuals are they easy to get State side. My owners manual say’s I can get one for $120, but north of the boarder the dealership says I have to put my name on a list. After enough names are collected they will run a printing session at a cost of $260.

Hi, Rebel

Bought mine from an SSR owner who was selling his toy - I'll dig them out and see if there are any SKU numbers on them - If so, you may be able to get them from GM Parts Direct. That process is also a pain, because they will not accept a Canadian Address OR Visa.. You'll have to deal with a MO and the mail.

Let you know later.

Adding the French / metric ... I think is the cause .... But you know what, I can read English (just can't spell it) and can work with Imperial mesurements. If I can find the stock # for the manual, I can order at a Detroit dealership.

Helm Inc

Try Helm Inc. for $120 you get a 2 volume set...

If they won't ship to you - I'm sure one of us will be willing to re-ship on up to the Great White North...

The manuals in English are the size of two phone directories. About 4 inches total. Being reprinted in a bilingual edition... WOW.

BTW, The manuals already have metric (imperial) notations.

Tell me, is that an effective BS repellent?

Nah - they seem to think it's an insult to their intelligence - but I have 'looked stuff up' for them - and make sure I mention it's in the bed if they need it...

With the 4" thickness - I also keep the manuals handy to beat the service reps over the head... :reddevil

$.$$

For my American cousins it’s $135 U.S.+ tax, and free shipping by ups. Two volumes in telephone type paper … yes 3” thick.
