2000 Chevrolet K2500 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2000 Chevrolet K2500 sets three engines against three cab structures. The engines are a turbocharged 6.5L diesel V8 of 395 cubic inches and naturally aspirated gasoline V8s of 7.4L and 5.7L; the bodies are two-door extended cab, two-door standard cab and four-door crew cab pickups. Base and LS trucks are both covered, and the manual keeps the diesel material separate from the gasoline material rather than folding the two into one chapter.

Known issues on the 2000 K2500. Each engine is given its own procedures, specifications, torque values and diagnostics; the wiring diagrams follow the standard, extended and crew cab bodies; and the chassis chapters cover the brakes, steering, suspension and driveline. The manual is the reference the dealer's service department used, which is the reason it still holds up on a truck this age.
