No. I just try to check other sources online or with the local dealer for info. Some of the vendors have outlines with info like Pelican.

Note: as far as procedure outlines the Bentley is an okay source. I don't mean to scare anyone away from using it. I use it. Just keep in mind there may be some info there that should be double checked. I like to use two sources. I've started writing notes in the manual if I find conflicting information.

So far I love it and have learned an incredible amount just skimming through it. The only thing that I wish it included more of is "tips". For example, don't drain your manual transmission fluid until you have opened the fill plug. That way, if it is seized you will know that before draining all of the fluid.

Any notes you could share RE timing?

Ive seen the LT trim update in about 15 to 20 seconds in closed loop mode. Be aware though that if you clear any ECU error codes the LT trim is zeroed out.

The timing is a pretty good section. I don't think I made any comments, but I'll look.
