    I just received the electrical diagrams and have ordered the service manual. If the manual is anything like the diagrams, this is a godsend for Suzuki owners. :)
     
  5. I just talked to James (the author) today and saw the full version (draft). Its a few hundred pages. Nothing left out, even down to frame measurments. You could build a Carry or Every right down to every nut and bolt. He said he has to fix some issues with the manual transmison section. Seems Suzuki made a mistake on their specs and hes verifying it with them. Should be out soon. He is also doing Honda Acty and Daihatsu, so friends with those vehicles can get English vesrions too. Ill keep you posted.

    Finally!

    Just got my F6A manual in the mail today.

    First of all let me say on bahalf of all of us . . . THANK YOU!

    This exactly what I and many others have been looking for a year or more.
    Very well done, quality illustrations (no cartoon or napkins sketches), alot of good technical info, and best of all an affordable price.

    Now I can face any repair from valve adjustment, to timing belt change, to a complete overhaul with confidence.:D

    Thanks again to Yokohama Motors and James Danko!

    Later, Swoop

    Manual received today

    For those wondering if they should order the shop manual and the wiring diagrams, you only need to order the shop manual - it contains the wiring diagrams. I have wasted a few dollars by ordering both - no big deal though.

    The quality of the manuals is quite good. Printing is very good quality but some of the very fine detail in the diagrams might be a little difficult to discern. There are some spelling errors, but this is a very minor nitpick.

    Even if you aren't going to tear down your transmission, you really need this manual - it gives specifications, capacities, type of oil/gear lube to use, etc. How many of you know what kind of gear oil to use, or the capacity of the fuel tank? - I do!

    Great job James Danko and Yokohama Motors! :D:D:D

    Yes, excellent releases. Can't wait for others. (Subaru next please!)

    My wish is that it had part numbers too.

    sweet... got mine ordered... when are the others coming out???
     
  12. Subaru and Honda Next English Editions

    The next up are Subaru Sambar and Honda Acty Truck. James has the Daihatsu finished but toyota (parent of Daihatsu) bit of some issues he has work out. He might only be able to publish up to 1997 Models. Im sure he will work it out. Suzuki just bough some from James for their own customer center...go figure.:D Seams the Japanese version had too many mistakes...oops for Japanese quality::eek:

    Don, Any "guess" on the ETA for the Sambar? Thanks
     
  14. Begining of June for Sambar & Daihatsu

    :eek:My oops, just found out on the phone that James got permision from Daihatsu for release for 91 to 97. Sambar and Daihatsu+Honda Acty begining to mid June. Bad news is the publishers due to printing costs going up might raise the cost 10-15%. :confused:Blame it on the oil guys for screwing up the world!

    Still probably a fair price though considering the work it must be to translate, etc. I'll stay tuned for one of the Sambar's:)
     
  16. I would have to say these are very well done manuals. THANK YOU! They are an excellent value! I just went ahead and bought the engine manual, workshop manual and the wiring diagrams. They are priced right and even thought there is overlap, I didn't mind spending a little extra to help support further development of additional manuals. I'll be anxiously awaiting the Diahatsu release. All my customers that are looking for a manual will be sent to you! Any plans for a Mitsubishi manual? I'll probably purchase any and all manuals you do for my own reference "library."

    Thanks again for the hard work!

    I've heard the manual available through lulu.com is a decent one. This is coming from a client who is very particular, so I'd say that manual is good.

    Steve, Thanks for the info. I "looked" under every heading there was at "LULU". The only repair manual was for Suzuki.

    DANG! I've got a 2001 HiJet. Hopefully he will continue to negotiate to release later years?:frustration:

    Jeff-
     
  22. Gee a Manual in ENGLISH

    This sure looks like a selling point for Suzuki Carry vs another of the mini-trucks of equal quality.

    Selling point? Sounds like Suzuki owners have more of a need for a manual than owners of other makes!

    Sounds like Suzuki owners aren't the only ones that need a manual:sly:
     
  25. Ok guys, I got the Daihatsu draft in my hands from James for prof reading. James is actually a Daihatsu guy, but he got permision from Suzuki first. Dealing with the makers is not easy and took a long time to get this project going. Suzuki took over a year so I hope you guys get the picture. Now its down to Suzuki-Daihatsu-Subaru-Honda. They all gave the Ok. Mitsubishi still in the wings even though he has it. There is a manual for everybody so just hang in there, nobody has ever done this before and been lots of road blocks. Looks like next few days for the Daihatsu guys to start getting theirs!

    Suzuki Manual

    I ordered mine last Wednesday. How long should I expect for shipment to North Mississippi. No "Way back in the Sticks" or "Pony Express" jokes please.
    For the record, mine runs like a champ, but if you run anything everyday it's bound to give a problem sooner or later. Just want to be prepared.
     
  27. That's great news! I'll be getting every one of them when they come out. I want to have a good reference library for all my trucks if possible. Keep us posted when they become available.

    Ours took about 12 days to get way up North in Canada.

    We had ours sent by post office media (book) rate - about as slow (and cheap!!) as you can get and we are out in the sticks. In fact you can walk into our little post office a week or two before Christmas and you might be the only customer there :D

    It only took a week or two - I was very surprised at how fast 4th class was.

    One of my books is suppose to be delivered tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. I'm ordering a tune up kit and timing belt so I know for sure when these where changed and the book will help a bunch.
