There was a previous thread, where service manuals were posted for download - based on that I had some questions.... the original post from Don S. is in bold, my questions are below

Best to buy the set, PN 7797288 and you will have all the manuals for your engine.
The manual for your drive, PN 7743008 is no longer available.

If you don't mind, I have several questions:
1) Regarding the manual entitled "7797353 EF Engine Manual 3.0-7.4 plus 8.2.pdf" - this manual refers to a 4.3 Gi model engine - my engine is a 4.3 GXi-J ---- is this manual the correct one for my engine (mine was manufactured in June 2010)

2) In this manual, page 1-15, for fuel injected models - it states the winter mix must consist of 5 gallons of fuel with 4 pints of fogging oil and 1/3 cup of stablizer... and run for 5 minutes... why 5 gallons - is it just because of the mixing ratios - wouldnt just a gallon with the correct mixture be sufficient ?

3) if the above manual is not correct, do you have one available like you show above for the other model - and what is the difference between a Gi and GXi-J

and also - thx for your valuable advice to those on this forum(and sorry for the attempted hijack on the other thread - I should have known better)

1. No, his engine is a 2000 model, completely different especially the ECM.
2. Use the service bulletin I gave you.
3. Sorry, nothing for engines newer than 06
