1999 Chevrolet Silverado Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado runs to one engine and one body: the 5.7-liter overhead-valve V8 of 350 cubic inches, naturally aspirated on gasoline, in a two-door sport utility offered as LS and LT. The book is organized by system, so a technician chasing a driveability fault stays inside the fuel, ignition and emissions material, while a suspension or brake job draws on its own clearances, specifications and torque values without wading through the rest.

Known issues on the 1999 Silverado. Eight recalls attach to this model year. One is on the truck itself: braided steel tailgate support cables that corrode and then fracture under load, dropping the open tailgate onto the rear bumper and taking anyone sitting on it down with it. Most of the others cover replacement lamp assemblies, some built without the amber side reflectors that make a vehicle visible from the side, one throwing too much light in the wrong part of its beam. Complaints number 1,724 — 937 on the service brakes, 109 on the suspension, 86 on tires.
