1989 GMC Safari Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual for the 1989 GMC Safari serves a van offered as a three-door standard cargo van and a three-door standard passenger van, in Base, SLE, SLT and SLX trim. Buyers took either the 4.3L V6 of 262 cubic inches or the 2.5L inline-four of 151, both naturally aspirated overhead-valve gasoline engines. Torque values, specifications, procedures, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are organized system by system, so a shop that sees both engine families can work from one reference instead of two.

Known issues on the 1989 Safari. Four recalls are on the federal record for this model year. A rear seat belt anchorage bar could not carry the loads the federal restraint standard requires. Two-piece brake rotors can corrode at the joint from road salt until the sections separate and braking at that wheel is lost. Replacement fuel filters may seal badly and leak fuel near an ignition source. Seat recliner bolts clamped over trapped foam lose torque, fatigue and break. The 21 owner complaints follow the same themes, with seven on the steering, three on the seat belts and two on the body structure.
SEVERE CORROSION DUE TO ROAD SALT AT THE JOINT OF THE STAMPED STEEL CENTER SECTION AND THE CAST OUTER SECTION CAN CAUSE THE SECTIONS TO SEPARATE.
