2003 Chevrolet C6500 Kodiak Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2003 Chevrolet C6500 Kodiak covers a year with more configurations than most: two codes, C6C042 and C6V042, a two-door conventional cab and chassis and a crew cab chassis, and three engines. Two are turbocharged inline-six diesels, of 7.2 and 7.8 liters; the third is the naturally aspirated 8.1L overhead-valve gasoline V8 of 496 cubic inches. The crew cab adds doors, seating and wiring the two-door does not have, and the body sections account for both.
