When I bought the 03 GMC pickup I also bought the service manual, which came in FIVE VOLUMES! There is one entire book on just the electronics for the engine alone. After reading the manuals (I was retired, after all) I decided that I'd be over my head trying to do much more than change the oil and burnt-out light bulbs.

So if the weather's decent I'll change the oil/filter in the driveway but other than that it goes to the shop.
