2002 Chevrolet W4500 Tiltmaster Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2002 Chevrolet W4500 Tiltmaster covers two cab arrangements — a low crew cab and a low tilt cab, both on the straight truck chassis — under the single W4S042 code. The engines are the naturally aspirated 5.7L OHV V8 of 350 cubic inches on gasoline and the turbocharged 4.8L inline-four of 290 cubic inches on diesel. Where the two cabs differ, the body and interior procedures differ with them; the engine, driveline and chassis material is shared.
