Default What Kind Of Manuals You Guys Using?

I'm looking for a manual for my truck, who makes the one with the most information? Who makes the one that's the best mix between information, and being easy to read?
Thanks

I bought a copy of a DC parts catalog on CD a few years back. Gives exploded veiws of all the parts and pieces along with stock numbers. Been a life saver cause it shows diagrams of how everything fits together. I can tear anything apart, puttin it back together gets a little tricky.
