Recommended repair manual and parts warehouse

Remove this ad
I am wanting to do some work on my 2000 DHS Deville myself to save some cash in this economy. RockAuto shows two repair manuals:
HAYNES #38032
CHILTON #1418032026

Which one do you recommend?

My first repair job is to fix front end shimmy on braking.

Is it okay to purchase parts from my local O'Reilly? RockAuto shows so many different types of rotors that it confuses me. Calling my local O'Reilly and the tech just gives me two types (standard or heavy duty). Where to buy parts?

Re: Recommended repair manual and parts warehouse

Forget the Haynes and Chilton's - far too generic for in-depth work. Either search eBay for a GM/Helm Factory Service Manual (2 huge volumes) or go direct to www.helminc.com. $135 +/-.

......or, subscribe your car to www.alldatadiy.com for the three year deal. Renewals after that are cheap. Every manual, diagram, electrical, emissions, recalls, labor times, TSB's, more than you can ever research.

You get what you pay for in parts. Reliable parts dealers are RockAuto, www.gmotors.com (Palm Cadillac, Gainesville, FL), www.gmpartsdirect.com (Flow Chev/Cadillac, Winston-Salem, NC), or Luke in Parts at Lindsay Cadillac (VA, near DC) weekdays >>>>>>>> over there. In most cases, unless you're very familiar with the aftermarket parts manufacturer/importer, it's best to stick with ACDelco, DELPHI, and similar GM suppliers. EBC brake systems are highly thought of (Black Dash rotors and Redstuff pads).

Your front end shimmy on braking is either worn/warped rotors and/or pads. MAYBE out-of-round tires.

Check out my for sale thread. I have the factory Helms manuals on dvd for $15 shipped. Best repair manual you can get!

For the 2000 DTS there are 3 manuals from Helm. The manuals cover pretty much everything you will come across.

I paid $135 for them and would recommend them to anyone planning on performing their own work.
