In my quest to keep the Alero on life support, I count on two very valuable online forums.
Aleromod.com is a once-proud site that is slowly dying. Contributions are falling off. Only a few hardcore members still post regularly. Still, it's a very useful forum.
Grandamgt.com, on the other hand, is thriving. The Grand Am has always been the used performance car of choice. Even though it is nearly identical to the Alero, the Grand Am draws a more committed car owner. These people are passionate about their rides and are constantly working on them. DIY info is broad and deep. Best of all, when a repair is beyond the reach of a skilled backyard mechanic, the forum willingly advises caution.
There are a few others. N-body.net is basically dead. Grand Am Owners Club is as active as GrandAmGT but I tend not to use it, mostly because the GT owners seem to take more risks.
With the help of these sites I have never used a Chilton manual, or the Alero's service manual. Basically everything is available online, and with useful commentary.
