Known issues on the 1982 G3500. Nothing is filed against this van at NHTSA — not a single recall, not one owner complaint. What the manual supplies instead is the service detail a one-ton van demands: specifications for the 4.1L inline-six and the 5.7L V8, torque values for the heavier axles, brakes and suspension these vans carry, and wiring diagrams for cargo, passenger and cutaway bodies alike. Diagnostics accompany each system, which matters most on the cutaway, where the chassis usually spends its life under someone else's bodywork.
