1996 Chevrolet C2500 Suburban Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1996 Chevrolet C2500 Suburban keeps the same three-engine arrangement, 5.7L and 7.4L gasoline V8s and the turbocharged 6.5L diesel, and the same Base, LS and LT trims in one four-door sport utility body. Sameness across years is useful to a technician only if the specifications are stated rather than assumed, which is why the torque values, clearances, capacities and diagnostic procedures here are given in full for this model year instead of being cross-referenced to another.
