Anybody know when either Hayne's or Chilton's put out new manuals? I have a 2002 Blazer and neither have published a manual for this year yet. I assume it would prolly be sometime this year because it is 3 years old, but I'm not sure. Thanks. -Peace

Don't know but a viable alternative is the alldatadiy.com where you can see the complete service manual, TSB, recalls on-line for 24.95 per year.

I use it plus I bought the actual 3-volume service manual for my 99...

that's the best as I use them all the time....both resource are 100% better than the error prone generic haynes/chilton manuals...I have them too and always find things that refer to different years or wrong information...

Just my 2 cents...

I saw a 2002-2003 manual in the local parts store the other day - I'm pretty sure it was a Haynes, but didn't look at it that close, just wondered why it didn't include 2004.

I'll cast my vote for alldatadiy.com also - much better than "remove parts and reassemble in reverse order" stuff that is all too common in some of the repair books.
