1995 GMC K3500 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1995 GMC K3500 documents three engines, one turbocharged 6.5L diesel V8 and two naturally aspirated gasoline V8s of 7.4 and 5.7 liters, across five body configurations that range from a two-door cab & chassis to a four-door crew cab pickup. The three trims are Sierra SL, Sierra SLE and Sierra SLT. Because only the diesel is force-fed, its injection and turbocharger specifications are given their own place away from the gasoline engines' data.

Known issues on the 1995 K3500. Two recalls are attached to this year, and both concern replacement filters sold for these trucks: one that can seal badly on the fuel line and leak fuel near an ignition source, and one that can seal badly on the oil circuit and let the engine run dry. Three owner complaints are logged with NHTSA, every one of them against the power train. Transmission, driveline and engine procedures, with their specifications, torque values and diagnostics, are the sections that speak to those reports.
