1987 Chevrolet R20 Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Chevrolet R20 has six engines to account for and three bodies to put them in. The engines are a 4.3L V6 of 262 cubic inches, a 4.8L inline-six of 292, gasoline V8s of 305, 350 and 454 cubic inches, and a 6.2L diesel V8 of 379 — all overhead-valve, none turbocharged. The bodies run from a two-door standard cab pickup to a bare cab and chassis to a four-door crew cab, in Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale or Silverado trim. Picking the right specification is the first step in any job here.

Known issues on the 1987 R20. One recall touches these trucks, and it reaches them through the parts shelf rather than the assembly line: certain replacement oil filters sold for this application can fail to seal properly, letting the engine lose its oil, with a fire the possible result. Owner complaints amount to a single entry, about tires. That is a thin record for a truck this old, so the manual carries the real guidance — lubrication specifications and engine mechanical procedures for all six engines, along with the wheel, brake and chassis service that a loaded work truck goes through.
