Guys,

Thanks for the replies and offers for help - I need 'em all.

I checked the Sacramento and EL Dorado County libraries for manuals first - they each had a Chiltons. I checked it out, but my opinion of that book is shown previously in the thread.

On ebay, it looks like I can buy a 2-vol. manual set for $107 and a diesel engine supplement for $58. This is 15% of my purchase price for the truck itself! And since I've never actually seen the manuals I can't judge their quality and value to me. But I guess stuff that's rare and useful is valuable. I'll have to do without (at least for now) - my service budget needs to be saved for something even more important - like a new GP relay, or ABS module, or coolant, or filters, or tires.

Regards,
