1998 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1998 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban covers a year with a two-step trim list, Base and LS, and a broad mechanical menu: a turbocharged 6.5L diesel V8 of 395 cubic inches plus naturally aspirated 7.4L and 5.7L gasoline V8s, all overhead-valve, all in a four-door sport utility body. Fewer equipment levels simplify the interior wiring diagrams; the engine sections stay as long as ever, because three separate powerplants need three separate sets of specifications and tests.
