Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Covers 28 model years of Chevy/GMC full-size vans, 1968 through 1996
  • ✓ Paperback format lays flat on a bench or fender
  • ✓ Haynes step-by-step teardown format aimed at DIY mechanics
  • ✓ Single volume replaces hunting scattered forum threads for G-van procedures

Cons

  • ✗ Excludes the 454 big-block V8 entirely
  • ✗ No diesel engine coverage of any kind
  • ✗ 1996 Express and Savana models are not covered
  • ✗ Ends at 1996, so later Express/Savana vans need a different manual
