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.

Known issues on the 2001 T6500. The federal record for this model year is empty on both counts, holding no recalls and no owner complaints. That leaves the manual to do the job it was written for. It sets out the engine mechanical procedures with the specifications that go beside them, the fuel injection and air induction diagnostics that a turbocharged diesel needs when it loses power or smokes, the cooling and lubrication requirements, the torque values for cab and chassis fasteners, and the wiring diagrams for every circuit on the vehicle.
