Has anyone used the service manuals at charm.li

I'm about to start working on my ambulance again and wanted a service manual. Searching online I found what appears to be a goldmine - www.charm.li.

It provides access to hundreds of manuals on the site and there's a link to download the manual for offline use. I did that and am currently expanding the 156mb of compressed files. I'll update to tell you how that goes.

Just wondering if anyone else has used these manuals. Do they look like OEM manuals? The About page says this is a group of anonymous programmers who believe manuals should be available free of charge.

Unzipped worked fine. It looks like scanned pages from an OEM manual. Nice Index tree. Includes a Parts & Labor section. If this is all accurate, it's a godsend.

I don't see a donate page, but these guys deserve to be paid. Of course, you'll now see lots of people trying to sell this manuals.

I've been using it for a couple of years when I don't have my own DVD set.

Great resource. But you should buy an EVTM for your vehicle (eBay has them reasonably priced). The paper book is easier to use, especially for wiring diagrams.
