2005 Chevrolet Uplander Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2005 Chevrolet Uplander covers the van in its first year, with one engine — a naturally aspirated 3.5L OHV V6 of 213 cubic inches — and two body configurations, a four-door and a five-door mini passenger van, across Base, LS and LT trims. The pushrod V6 is straightforward to work on and the manual treats it that way, with valvetrain, timing, fuel and cooling procedures given as sequences and the torque values called out in place.

Known issues on the 2005 Uplander. Four recalls sit on the federal record. One involves a replacement steering knuckle that can break at the hub and take steering control with it. Another involves second-row seat latches that can release early in a side impact, so the seat no longer holds the person in it. A third involves a parking brake that may not hold the van on a steep grade, allowing unintended movement. Complaints total 196, led by the electrical system at 42, structure at 34 and latches and linkages at 30.
