Default 08 Service Manual

Anyone have an update on the availability of the 08 Service Manual? I ordered and pre-paid for one 6 weeks ago. Dealer says they keep delaying them.

They must be having trouble getting the lead out of the color pictures or translating from chinese. This happens almost every year the service manual is delayed from one month to as much as six months.

Why question the dealer update & why pre-pay?

I was paying for some other stuff taht was in stock so I just added the manual. That's been somany weeksago I can't even remember where I put the reciept[:@][:@]I sure hope it's in the computer.
