This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 Chevrolet Express 3500 works across four engines rather than three, since a 4.3L V6 of 262 cubic inches sits alongside the turbocharged 6.5L diesel V8, the 454-cubic-inch 7.4L and the 5.7L, all of them overhead-valve. The body list runs to five: cargo and passenger vans in standard and extended lengths, each with three doors, and a two-door cutaway for upfitters. Base and LS are the two trim levels, so equipment differences stay narrow and the wiring coverage stays manageable.

Known issues on the 1997 Express 3500. Owner complaints here number just two, one on the electrical system and one on the suspension, too few to mark out a pattern. What the manual gives instead is depth: ignition, fuel delivery and emissions routines written separately for the diesel, for each gasoline V8 and for the V6, torque values for the leaf-sprung rear axle and its mountings, wiring diagrams that trace lighting, charging and body circuits through both the standard and extended shells, and the diagnostic sequences that turn a symptom into a tested cause.

The 1997 Chevrolet Express 3500 has no recalls on file with NHTSA.

I SEEM TO BE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT KIND OF IGNITION SWITCH MALFUNCTION THAT HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF THE MASSIVE GM RECALL THIS YEAR. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT THE RECALL DOESN'T SEEM
