CT5-V Blackwing
Looking to buy the set of repair manuals (like the one ebay example listed below) but I'm not confident this is the right one for my 5Wing. Do we 'Wing owners get a separate manual, or is it one and the same for all CT5s?

 
If you go to Site Maintenance you can pay for a 3-day pass to access the actual service manual, then print to PDF what you need. I have no idea what is on that CD on eBay. In the FSM, the Blackwing is just another trim level with some specific options (e.g. brakes and LT4 motor).
 
Revvhigh, I was looking at that also, but don't have a car yet. If you get it, report back. I PRESUME that it would cover all models.
 
Curious as to what that disc is and I notice the seller does not have the best rating.
 
FWIW, the last thing I ordered off eBay that came with a CD was loaded up with nasty malware. I ended up flattening and reloading the machine I installed it on. They were supposed to be drivers for an OBD II interface.
 
It does cover it tho as it has 6.2l supercharged v8 included
All images and diagrams included? I know many of the eBay ones have the instructions but fail to include the images. How about indexing; are you able to jump to components versus have to scroll and search? Ty
 
Any updates on where is the best place to get service manuals? Is the 3 day GM thing the best option?

Yes, I found it to be very helpful. Just make sure any of the specific manuals you get, you review them prior to the expiration of the period. Many have hyperlinks to other topic relevant manuals within each that you also want to download, e.g. Cautions, Fastener Specifications, Approximate Fluid Capacities, etc.

If you're tech savvy and download the entire CT5 directory of manuals, I wrote a python script to rename the .pdf based on the titles within each of the documents for easy searching. Happy to share it.
