1998 Chevrolet C3500HD Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1998 Chevrolet C3500HD sets out two engines, the turbocharged 6.5-liter diesel of 395 cubic inches and the 7.4-liter 454 gasoline V8; two bodies, a two-door conventional cab and chassis and a four-door crew cab and chassis; and Base as the only trim. A truck like this is bought to work and kept a long time, so the specifications, clearances and torque values matter far more than the badge on the door, and they are given system by system.
