Geno's Garage also has the factory service manuals.

I have the owner's manual, I'm referring to the "service manual" aka shop manual.

I bought the service manual. I know CD's are cheaper, but the paper can travel with me outside, get greasy and even survive trans fluid, oil and other stuff, my computer can't (it proved that with root beer) I bought mine from genos I'm old fashioned, paper for me

Yeah, I'd rather have the paper edition also.

Get the CD Rom and a bundle of paper and start printing it up one page at a time.....

I have seriously thought about doing this.....

I got my service manual from a free site listed here a few weeks ago. Do a search on Shop+Manual and I'm sure you will find it. Paper is nice but MAN it's a lot of $$$...

Got the CD from Genos.
Print out what i need and use zip top bags (fine call them ziplock if you want) if your dealing with fluids.

Also got a binder & put the print outs in once im done if they are still in a reasonable condition.

Speaking of Genos ... Turbo Diesel Register (TDR), if you have not encountered them yet check out the site and request a free copy. About the only thing that rivals (the subscription & back issues I purchased) in usefullness is the service manual itself. Amazing ammount of knowledge and how to's.

Though, gotta say I prefer this forum for my online research.

Same here. Print the pages that I need and toss afterwards. No more worries of trying to keep the paper manual somewhat clean.
