2000 Chevrolet C3500 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2000 Chevrolet C3500 covers four body forms — extended cab pickup, two-door cab and chassis, standard cab pickup and four-door crew cab pickup — with Base and LS as the trim choices. Three engines were available: the turbocharged 6.5-liter diesel of 395 cubic inches, the 7.4-liter 454 and the naturally aspirated 5.7-liter 350, the last two burning gasoline. The manual treats the chassis as common and the engines separately, which is how the truck was built.

Known issues on the 2000 C3500. The manual functions as a shop reference for a one-ton truck that often outlives its paperwork: engine mechanical, fuel and emissions for both gasoline V8s and the turbodiesel; automatic and manual transmission procedures with driveline angles; axle, differential and wheel bearing service; hydraulic and parking brakes; steering gear and suspension alignment; heating and ventilation; and body, cab and frame repair, with wiring diagrams and torque values throughout.
