1982 GMC K2500 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1982 GMC K2500 covers a truck sold that year in two forms, a cab & chassis for outfitters and a standard cab pickup, with the same three overhead-valve engines behind either one. The 6.2L V8 is the diesel; the 4.8L inline-six and the 5.7L V8 burn gasoline, and none of the three is force-fed. Four trim levels are on the list, running from Base through High Sierra and Sierra Classic to Sierra Grande, so one book has to serve the plainest work truck and the best-dressed one alike.
