2000 Chevrolet Sonora Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2000 Chevrolet Sonora covers a four-door sport utility built around one engine, the naturally aspirated 5.7L OHV V8 of 350 cubic inches on gasoline, and sold in three equipment levels: Base, LS and LT. A single displacement means one set of fuel, ignition, cooling and emissions specifications applies to every vehicle, while the differences between the trims turn up in the body and electrical sections rather than in the mechanical ones. Torque values accompany the engine, driveline and chassis procedures.

Known issues on the 2000 Sonora. The manual is used the ordinary way: valve train and short-block specifications for the 5.7L V8, fuel delivery and ignition testing, cooling system pressure and thermostat procedures, brake and suspension overhaul with their torque values, and wiring diagrams for the charging, starting and lighting circuits. Diagnostic routines run alongside each of those systems rather than being kept apart from them.
