1998 Chevrolet K3500 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1998 Chevrolet K3500 covers a two-trim truck — Cheyenne and Silverado — offered in five body configurations and with three engines: the turbocharged 6.5L diesel V8 of 395 cubic inches, the 7.4L gasoline V8 of 454, and the 5.7L gasoline V8 of 350. Because the same chassis appears as a finished pickup and as a bare cab and chassis, the frame, body and electrical sections carry material for both, while the engine sections stand apart from whichever body was ordered.

Known issues on the 1998 K3500. No recall and no owner complaint stands on the federal record for the 1998 K3500. The manual's contribution is procedural: how to test and adjust each system, what each fastener should be torqued to, what the specifications are for the diesel's fuel and turbocharging hardware and for the gasoline engines' ignition and fuel systems, how the transmission and axles come apart, and how the wiring diagrams are read when a circuit fails intermittently.
