2002 Chevrolet W5500 Tiltmaster Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2002 Chevrolet W5500 Tiltmaster spans two cab styles on the straight truck chassis, a low tilt cab and a low crew cab, across the W5R042, W5S042 and W5T042 codes. Power comes from either a turbocharged 4.8L inline-four of 290 cubic inches or a turbocharged 7.8L inline-six of 475 cubic inches, both diesel.

Known issues on the 2002 W5500 Tiltmaster. Neither a recall nor an owner complaint is recorded against this model year on the federal record.
