This factory service and repair manual for the 1986 Chevrolet C60 has an unusual spread for one chassis. Alongside the gasoline units, a 4.8L inline-six of 292 cubic inches, a 5.7L V8 and the overhead-valve 6.0L V8, sit an 8.2L naturally aspirated diesel V8 and a turbocharged 14.0L inline-six of 855 cubic inches. One body, the two-door conventional cab and chassis, and one code, C6D042, carried all of them, so the engine chapters do the dividing that the chassis chapters do not.

Known issues on the 1986 C60. Owners have filed no complaints against the 1986 C60, and no recall has been issued for it, which is a clean federal record by both measures. The practical reading is that this year raises service questions rather than defect questions, and the manual answers those with specifications and torque values for the gasoline V8s and the inline-six, fuel and cooling procedures for the 8.2L and the turbocharged 14.0L diesels, and diagnostics and wiring diagrams for the chassis around them.
