I have subscribed to All Data. It gives all of the following info:
Diagnostic Trouble Codes, Tech Service Bulletins, all of the vehicles specifications, Safety Info and recalls.
All diagrams and a section that gives locations of all the vehicles parts pieces including grommets, splices, connections etc.
If you go to the site: alldata.com you can get a free sample of the info available. Now most of this stuff covers all Auroras but their maybe year specific items as well. There are about 300 tech bulletins alone. It would take a long time to go thru everything. I would love to be able to download everything and burn it to CD’s.
For those of you who don’t yet know, a tech service bulletin tells the dealers and mechanics specific areas of concern for the vehicle and possible cures. It can be very helpful when trying to diagnose. Also for preventive maintenance that unless you are either factory trained or have experience with an issue, then you wouldn’t normally think of the issue in the first place.
EMAIL ME FOR MORE INFO...
A good example is that unless you know to check the battery box, by the time it’s an issue, the corrosion has done it’s nasty deed.
The cost per vehicle is $24.95. If you are a garage, they charge $135 per month and get all vehicles, not a bad deal.
Now I would love to get all of this info so that it is at the fingertips of anyone who wants it WHEN THEY NEED IT.
I do have the ability to set up my own website, its part of my DSL package. I just haven’t had the time. Any suggestions?

Don't put too much pressure on yourself... even being able to ask you about certain TSB's or recall info (vs. always having it available on a website) is a great help! ;D Plus, you don't want to get in any copyright trouble, posting everything you have. The sad thing is that Alldata USED to be a free access site.

you can get these bulletins for FREE on the NHTSA website (National Highway and Traffic Safety Admin.) i pulled off an entire list of technical service bulletins specific to my year Aurora. why pay for them if you can get them for nothing???

How did you get the stuff free? I tried and they wanted me to pay per page and thru snail mail. Let me know so I can check out and make sure that all of the info is there. I can cancel Alldata if it's just duplicated info that's already available elsewhere...
