1985 Chevrolet P30 Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual for the 1985 Chevrolet P30 keeps four engines in view at once, and the differences between them shape most of the mechanical sections: a 292-cubic-inch inline-six, a 350 and a 454 gasoline V8, and a 6.2L diesel V8. The same running gear appears under a two-door van and under a bare chassis, in Base Stripped and Step-Van Delivery form. Specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are given for each of those arrangements rather than averaged into one.

Known issues on the 1985 P30. Six recalls sit on the federal record for this year. One covers a cooling fan blade that can fatigue and break away at the hub with the engine running, striking anyone near the open hood. Another involves a wheel cracking between disc and rim until the rim separates from the disc. A third concerns a left lower control arm that cracks and lets the ball joint pull out of it, taking steering with it. Two owner complaints are recorded, one on tires and one on suspension — the wheel, axle and front end work this manual specifies.
