1982 GMC K1500 Suburban Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1982 GMC K1500 Suburban deals with a long 4-door sport utility body and three overhead-valve, naturally aspirated V8s: the 5.0L and 5.7L on gasoline and the 6.2L diesel. Four trims are listed, Base, High Sierra, Sierra Classic and Sierra Grande. Because a Suburban carries more body, glass and interior hardware than a pickup, the body and electrical chapters are as important here as the engine work, and all of them come with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics.

Known issues on the 1982 K1500 Suburban. Federal records hold nothing against this model year, neither a recall nor an owner complaint. The manual therefore stands on its regular content, which covers all three engines through mechanical overhaul, fuel, cooling and ignition service with their own specifications and torque values, then carries on into transmission and axle work, steering, brakes and heating, and closes with the body and electrical sections and the wiring diagrams a long wagon needs.
