Known issues on the 1983 K20. The 1983 K20 has a clean federal record, with no recall against it and no complaint from an owner. The manual is therefore worth describing by what it holds. It gives procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics for the inline-six, the gasoline V8 and the diesel V8, and it documents the frame, driveline, brakes, steering and suspension that the pickup and the cab and chassis share. For anyone repairing a chassis-cab, that shared material is the part that gets used most.
