2008 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2008 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 covers the LS and the LT, both built as four-door sport utilities and both carrying the same 6.0L overhead-valve V8 — 364 cubic inches, naturally aspirated, gasoline. One engine and one body across the range means no working out which variant a procedure belongs to before the wrench comes out. Coverage runs from engine mechanical and the driveline through the chassis to the body electrical circuits, with the torque figures, clearances, wiring diagrams and diagnostic steps that factory shop material carries.

Known issues on the 2008 Suburban 2500. The federal record carries four recalls for this model year. A pair of them cover a passenger air bag inflator that can burst as it deploys and send metal fragments toward the people in the seats. The other pair trace back to the heated washer fluid module: a shorted circuit board that can make other electrical features misbehave and produce smoke or an odor, and the same module igniting into a fire. Owners logged 314 complaints, 133 of them on the air bags, 36 on the structure and 29 on the electrical system, which the restraint and wiring sections here cover.
