Aah, but go to Advance Auto Parts and you can get a full repair manual for the majority of vehicles released in the last two decades. Armed with that I've been able to save hundreds of dollars doing jobs I feel confident doing that I never would have known were so easy without said manual.

That said, I grew up the son of an engineer who wrote technical manuals. As such I'm the sort of person who would very much enjoy having in my hands a book detailing the machine down the the thread count of every bolt holding it together.

Granted that's an unrealistic desire, and I don't expect it. But it would be fun to have. :)

Sei,

But, those books at advance Auto parts were not written by Ford, Chevy or Mercedes Benz, they were written by private companies looking to make a buck by selling you a book.

Now, if we could get a company to write manuals for Epilog, Xenetech, Universal, Laser Pro, et al..., then you would have the info all in one place that Nischchi wanted. But in this capitalistic society, I don't think that book would become a BEST SELLER, hence, not much profit for the writer, publisher, distributer, retailer..............
:'-(

So, I guess it's back to getting the tech sheets as we need them from the tech department at each manufacturer. Besides we wouldn't want them to get lonely like the "Maytag Repairman"!
:O)
