2008 Chevrolet W3500 Tiltmaster Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2008 Chevrolet W3500 Tiltmaster describes a low-tilt straight truck on the W3S042 specification with a choice of two engines: a naturally aspirated 6.0L overhead-valve V8 of 364 cubic inches running gasoline, and a turbocharged 5.2L inline-four diesel of 317 cubic inches. The difference between them is not a variant of one procedure but two procedures, and the manual is written that way, with separate fuel, air, lubrication and overhaul specifications for the diesel and for the V8.
