2001 GMC Sierra 1500 HD Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 HD narrows to a single engine and a single body: the 364-cubic-inch 6.0L V8, naturally aspirated with overhead valves and running gasoline, in a four-door crew cab pickup. Only SLE and SLT trims are listed. A heavy-duty truck built to one specification is a straightforward one to service, and everything here, from procedures and specifications through torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics, points at that configuration.

Known issues on the 2001 Sierra 1500 HD. Seven recalls have been issued for this truck. A crankshaft position sensor could operate intermittently or stop working, causing rough running and stalls, sometimes with no restart until the engine had cooled. Parking brake friction linings could wear until the brake would no longer hold a parked truck. Where road salt attacks the chassis, the antilock system could switch itself on when nobody asked it to, lengthening low-speed stops. Complaints stand at 591, with 299 aimed at the service brakes, 49 at engine and engine cooling and 35 at the fuel system.
