2001 GMC Savana 2500 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2001 GMC Savana 2500 records a small but real change in the range: the 5.7L V8 is now listed as running gasoline or as a bi-fuel gasoline and LPG unit, and it sits beside the 4.3L V6, the 5.0L V8 and the turbocharged 6.5L V8 diesel. The van itself keeps its four 3-door bodies, cargo and passenger in standard and extended lengths, while the trim pair reads Base and SLT. Fuel-system specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics follow each engine.

Known issues on the 2001 Savana 2500. Owners logged 20 complaints against this model year with NHTSA. They spread fairly evenly rather than pointing at a single fault: the electrical system and the power train draw the most, with air bags behind them. That mix is a fair map of where a working van of this age asks for attention, and it lines up with the manual's wiring diagrams and circuit diagnostics, its transmission and driveline procedures with their torque specifications, and the supplemental restraint system service instructions and warnings.
