Known issues on the 1982 C30. The manual's usefulness lies in its specifications, which are the clearances and torque values for five different engines, from the inline-sixes to the 7.4L V8 and the diesel; driveline and axle overhaul; hydraulic brake procedures; steering and front suspension alignment figures; and body, frame and wiring information covering all four configurations, including the cab-and-chassis versions that leave the factory unfinished behind the cab.
