1982 GMC C7000 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1982 GMC C7000 has to account for eight engines, which is what makes this year's coverage unusually wide. Two are gasoline V8s, the 6.0L OHV unit and the 7.0L, and six are diesels: a turbocharged 6.1L inline-six, turbocharged 9.1L and 8.2L V8s, a naturally aspirated 8.2L, and the 10.4L V8 offered both turbocharged and naturally aspirated. The chassis itself was bodied as a medium conventional tractor, a medium conventional straight truck or a conventional cab and chassis, under three designations.

Known issues on the 1982 C7000. The federal record for this truck is clean: no recalls and no owner complaints are logged with NHTSA. That leaves the manual to serve as the reference rather than a defect list, and there is a great deal for it to reference. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are broken out by system for all eight engines, so a shop can look up the gasoline 6.0L V8 and the turbocharged 10.4L diesel from the same book without hunting for a second title.
