1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 covers a truck sold in three distinct cab configurations — an extended cab with a third door, a bare cab and chassis for body upfitters, and a two-door standard cab — with two overhead-valve gasoline V8s under the hood, the 6.0L of 364 cubic inches and the 5.3L of 325. Base, LS and LT trim levels sit on top of that hardware, and the procedures, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are written to the equipment each one carries.

Known issues on the 1999 Silverado 2500. Two recalls appear on the federal record for this year, and both come from replacement service parts rather than the truck as built. One covers oil filters that can seal poorly and let the engine lose its oil, with fire the consequence if that oil reaches something hot. The other covers fuel filters whose connection may not seal, allowing fuel to escape and ignite. Owners have logged 83 complaints, 46 of them on the service brakes, with 9 on tires and 6 on the fuel system — brake hydraulics and fuel delivery both have their own specifications and diagnostic routines here.
