Known issues on the 1996 K1500. The federal record shows this model year clean in both columns, with no recall action and nothing entered by owners. The manual therefore stands on what it documents. Diagnostics, wiring diagrams, torque values and specifications cover the three gasoline engines and the turbocharged 6.5L diesel, and the chassis chapters take in the brakes, steering, suspension and driveline. The three cab structures each get their own body and electrical coverage, which is what a technician needs when a rear door and its wiring are part of the repair.
