This factory service and repair manual for the 1989 Chevrolet C60 works from a narrow catalog: one body style, one code and three engines, those being the 5.7L gasoline V8, the 366-cubic-inch overhead-valve 6.0L gasoline V8 and the 501-cubic-inch 8.2L naturally aspirated diesel V8. A truck this plainly specified is straightforward to work on from the book, because a procedure written for the cab and chassis is the procedure for every 1989 C60, and only the engine sections branch.

Known issues on the 1989 C60. The 1989 C60 carries a clean federal record, with no recalls and no owner complaints. That absence is worth something on a working truck, because it means the manual gets used for scheduled work and wear rather than for chasing a known defect: valve and bearing clearances, fuel and cooling specifications for the two gasoline V8s and the 8.2L diesel, and torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic routines for the driveline, brakes, steering and cab.
