I checked the Helm site that was referenced on post #2, but it does not show the Service Manual available for 2017. Is that coming, or do we need to buy the 2016 version? and ... I once again want to display my ignorance to all things automotive.

I think it really sucks that you pay $50K to buy a product and the manufacturer wants $300 for the manual. OK, I get it when it was printed books; as there are cost associated with printing, stocking, warehousing. But in these Internet times, when all documents are electronic, this is ridiculous. I was able to download the service manual for my $500 Samsung washing machine for free. Why do I need to pay $300 to buy a manual that tells me what each of the fuses in my car do, or for that matter to connect to the cars' computer and download data?

Ok, I feel better now that I ranted.

I don't believe Helm has released the 2017 shop manual yet, but it shouldn't be long now. IIRC it has been around October each year.

Got it.

I am just a little confused. I figured that service manuals would be made available when the cars started to be sold. By now the model year run is 2/3 sold out, and the was that shipping delay coming from the land down under.

Thanks.
