1997 GMC C1500 Suburban Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
This factory service and repair manual for the 1997 GMC C1500 Suburban documents the four-door sport utility in Base, SLE and SLT trim with a choice of two engines: the 5.7L gasoline V8, naturally aspirated, and the turbocharged 6.5L diesel V8. Both are overhead-valve designs. What separates them in service is fuel handling and cooling load, and the manual gives each its own specifications, clearances and torque values while treating the driveline, chassis and body work as common ground between them.

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