1988 Chevrolet P60 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1988 Chevrolet P60 covers both the straight truck and the bare chassis version of a cab-forward commercial vehicle, in P6T042 and P6T042 Stripped trim. Four V8s are documented — gasoline engines of 5.7, 6.0 and 7.0 liters and an 8.2L diesel — and their differences are substantial enough that the engine chapters do not pool their specifications. Torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic sequences follow for the systems beneath them.
