1996 Chevrolet C35 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1996 Chevrolet C35 covers the standard cab pickup in Base, Cheyenne and Tipico trim, all of them powered by the same 5.7L overhead-valve V8. One engine across three trims means the engine chapters read identically for every truck, and what separates one from another shows up in the interior and wiring sections, where equipment differs. Everything from the clutch or converter back is common ground across the range.

Engines covered

• 5.7L V8 (350 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

• 2-door standard cab pickup

Trims covered

Known issues on the 1996 C35. Three owner complaints were logged for this model year, one each on the service brakes, on the engine and its cooling, and on the steering. Too few to form a pattern, but each names a system with real consequences when neglected. Brake hydraulic testing, bleeding and adjustment; cooling system pressure testing, thermostat and water pump service with the specifications for each; and steering gear inspection, linkage checks and front end alignment figures are all given here.
