1992 Chevrolet K1500 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1992 Chevrolet K1500 splits its engine coverage by fuel and displacement: gasoline V8s of 5.0L and 5.7L, a 4.3L gasoline V6, and a 6.2L diesel V8, each an overhead-valve design without forced induction. The body work covers two cabs, standard and extended, both two-door, and the equipment sections cover Cheyenne, Scottsdale, Silverado and WT trucks. Diagnostics are indexed by system, so the diesel and the gasoline trucks are never read from one page.

Known issues on the 1992 K1500. Two recalls are recorded federally for this year, both on replacement filters fitted at service time. One describes a fuel connection that may not seal, allowing gasoline to leak and, in the presence of an ignition source, ignite. The other describes an oil filter whose poor seal can drain engine oil and raise the same fire risk. Seventeen complaints have been logged, led by four on the service brakes, three on tires and two on seat belts. Brake hydraulics, wheel and tire specifications and restraint hardware each have their own procedures and torque values in this manual.
