Found the Chilton manual for it at Borders. Much better than the
worthless Haynes manual. Funny thing is that Chilton is owned by
Haynes. Does GM make a manual for this truck?

I find the Haynes manuals generally a lot better than the Chiltons, but
I've never used GMC manuals for either.

GM will sell you a full shop manual. It will be expensive, and it will
be worth every penny, especially if you run into electrical problems.

GM doesn't MAKE any manuals. Helm does.
However I believe they dropped the older vehicles.
You should be able to find them used though.
You might want to look at Mitchell online.

Make sure you look at

to see what they don't cover.

This is the first I've heard of Helm manuals. Thanks for mentioning
them.

Helm is the company that actually prints the GM factory manuals.
They also print Ford, American Honda, Isuzu and Hyundai manuals.

They also have an online service where you can view the information.

Purchased these today on e-bay. Cost me about $100.

When they were current stock Helm got $150.00, when they closed them out
they were getting about $50.00

Those will tell you FAR more than any aftermarket manual.
