1988 GMC C1500 Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual for the 1988 GMC C1500 arrives with the truck offered in two cab lengths, standard and extended, and three trims named Sierra, Sierra SLE and Sierra SLX. The engine bay could hold the 4.3L V6, the 5.0L or 5.7L gasoline V8, or the 6.2L diesel V8, all overhead-valve and naturally aspirated. Extended cab bodies bring their own sheet metal, glass and interior procedures, so body work is called out separately from the mechanical sections that both cabs share.

Known issues on the 1988 C1500. One recall stands against this model year.

Transmission cooling and fluid checks, brake hydraulic service and the steering and wiring diagnostics are therefore the sections of this manual most likely to earn their keep.
UNANTICIPATED HEAT IN THE TRANSMISSION CAN FORCE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OUT OF THE VENT TUBE.
Consequence
THE VENTED TRANSMISSION FLUID CAN CATCH FIRE IF EXPOSEDTO A SOURCE OF IGNITION.
Remedy
