1992 GMC K1500 Suburban Service and Repair Manual

Known issues on the 1992 K1500 Suburban. The federal record carries two recalls for this year. Replacement oil filters can seal imperfectly, letting the engine lose its oil onto hot surfaces with fire as the risk. The other concerns heat in the transmission beyond what the design allowed for, which can drive fluid out of the vent tube where an ignition source will light it. Five owner complaints are logged with NHTSA, three on the electrical system and one each on visibility and the service brakes. Transmission overhaul, lubrication service and the wiring diagrams cover the ground those describe.
