If it helps any besides foxit reader you can also use a screen capture app to save images to print later.

I use https://getgreenshot.org/

Can be a bit tedious but likely less so than fighting with the usb.

WOW! That's significantly more pages than my '00 Camaro set (3 books) or '09 Outlook set (4 books).

About 15". Wow.
My previous record was for a Saturn "S" FSM at roughly 11" including the hard cover binders.
It weighed probably 25 pounds.
$275 for the set 20 years ago as I recall.
But they were very, very detailed (and were needed very, very often unfortunately).
The set went with the car when I sold it and probably added about 25% to the net value of the car at the time.

The buyer was extremely happy to get it.

I was unable to get my 17 Camaro USB to work. Someone on CorvetteForum posted to update the driver and that fixed the problem. The driver can be found here https://www.truscont.com/drivers

this solved everything. unfortunately i cant download this new driver to the GM USB so ill need to keep it on a different usb. The driver you poster here must be the man program you put on the computer. then the program that comes on the disk opens the manual file. Befor i would have to install the usb manual open to see files. then click the unlock file. that askes for permission to run the unlocker. that would close then i would have to go back to the files and open the manual. It would say corrupted and I would have to try and open it again until it finally opened. now i put the disk in it automatically asks for permission to unlock the pdf i click it and the manual automatically opens up. It now will do everything too. I can save pdfs of the manual and print. THANK YOU
