Guys,

Thanks.  Very cool online manual.  But I like to have a book open too so I will
order a Chilton manual too.  Thanks again

   Factory Service Manual is worth the money.

Chilton CD: Chilton Total Car Care: Imports Trucks and SUVs  Part # C3050 bt Nichols Publishing.  Available at auto parts stores and amazon.com

The '88 Samurai FSM in three parts is probably the best all around downloadable FSM.  You can print out the parts that you need if you don't want to print out the whole thing and put it in a three ring binder.  (a link to this FSM is somewhere in this post...  ;)  )

The Haynes manual is probably the worst.

 best place to purchase any manual on any vehicle is by far books4cars.com

they are a little slow on getting it to you (2 weeks) but they have everything you can think of and stuff you didnt know existed. luckily they are 20 minutes up the road from me. if you guys need something in a hurry i could run up there and get it to you faster than they can. i have to drive by it every other day.
99 grand vitara, bone stock: for now. as for my last ride?
