1987 Chevrolet R10 Suburban Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Chevrolet R10 Suburban takes a four-door sport utility body and three overhead-valve V8s: 5.0L and 5.7L gasoline units of 305 and 350 cubic inches, and the 6.2L 379-cubic-inch diesel. None is turbocharged, and the trim list runs Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale and Silverado. A body this size on a truck chassis asks for both kinds of service work, so the manual carries driveline and axle procedures alongside the body, glass and interior material a four-door wagon needs.

Known issues on the 1987 R10 Suburban. No recall has ever been issued against this year and no owner complaint sits on the federal record, which leaves the manual as the only reference worth consulting. It divides the work cleanly: engine mechanical, fuel and ignition specifications for the two gasoline V8s, separate diagnostics for the 6.2L diesel, then the transmission and axles, the brakes, the steering and suspension, and the wiring diagrams needed to trace a circuit through a body this long.
