2002 Chevrolet C3500HD Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2002 Chevrolet C3500HD has one trim, Base, two bodies and two engines to work through. The bodies are a two-door conventional cab and chassis and a four-door crew cab and chassis; the engines are the 8.1-liter naturally aspirated gasoline V8 of 496 cubic inches and the turbocharged 6.5-liter diesel of 395. Trucks of this kind are often still working two decades on, and the clearances, torque values and diagnostic charts here are what make that practical. Every procedure is written for the bare chassis as it left the plant.
