2001 Chevrolet T6500 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2001 Chevrolet T6500 is a diesel-only book for a diesel-only year. The F6B042 straight truck, low tilt cab, takes either a turbocharged 7.2L overhead-valve inline-six of 441 cubic inches or a turbocharged 7.8L inline-six of 475 cubic inches. Two displacements mean two sets of clearances and torque values, and those are kept apart throughout, while the driveline, cab and electrical material applies to the truck with either engine installed.
