Service Manual Question; NOT ZR-1

[95ZR1#418]

Hi All-

This is not ZR-1 related, please don't read if offensive!

Last time I posed a labeled "Off Topic" Please Don't read etc on the ZR-1 Net serve it cause a "huge" problem. I was later told to ask such questions here, so I'll try it.

I just bought a 2005 Trailblazer EXT LS. I'm looking for the GM "Service Manual", "Shop Manual", whatever you want to call it and it's called everything in Google land. The GM version as I have for the ZR-1 but for the Trailblazer.

I found this, is this the real thing? what I'm looking for? If so seems like a good price including all 3 volumes....

Well, that's just my question. Your link & mine both say GM service Manual. My link has 3 volumes yours just 1 volume, that's a big difference for the same original GM service manual. I'm trying to find just what is the original, there are many others that claim they are the GM service manual for the Trailblazer. So I wouldn't buy either of these at this point & I don't know how to determine which of the many is the real thing.

I guess, I'm hopping someone here has a Trailblazer & has the original Service manual who can view these links and point the finger to the real one-

I would consider buying both if you are getting deeply involved in work on the vehicle. If I had to choose one or the other, I would buy the Helm Inc manuals because the specifically include the Diagnosis section and the "shop" manuals don't mention it.

Good Luck
