2009 Chevrolet C7500 Kodiak Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet C7500 Kodiak takes in three bodies — a cutaway, a four-door crew cab straight truck and a medium conventional straight truck — and three engines behind them: turbocharged diesel inline-sixes of 7.2 and 7.8 liters, 441 and 475 cubic inches, and a naturally aspirated overhead-valve 8.1L gasoline V8 of 496. C7C042, C7E042 and C7V042 are the configurations listed. Three bodies on one chassis mean the frame, driveline and wiring sections carry more of the weight here than the sheet metal ones.
