Default FSM - Factory Service Manual, GM Cadillac


A brief general description for those that dont know.

The going rate is between $20 to $45 for a used manual (FSM),
up to $120 for a new one.

For the shade tree mechanic, a MUST !


===========================

Factory Service Manual



General Motors factory service service manual for the Cadillac Seville STS and SLS. More than x,xxxx pages of repair instructions written by General Motors.

It contains Diagnostic Information and Procedures, Schematics and Routing Diagrams, Component Locator, Repair Instructions, Description and Operation, Specifications, and Special Tools and equipment.

dealerships.

using a chilton is like trying to eat a sirloin steak with a plastic knife and fork. its doable, but often lets you down.

Hey guys, can anyone point me in the right direction for a manual, i have a 88 Brougham D'elegance... thanks!!

Nevermind i found one on ebay really easily... so how good are these manuals, they explain everything well, luckily i found one for my car for only $10 so i already purchased it because even if its a coloring book for $10 who really cares!! lol , i hope its really easy to follow and im able to fix any issues that may come up because i want to keep this car in perfect condition!!!
