2009 Chevrolet C8500 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet C8500 has just two engines to document, a turbocharged 7.8L diesel inline-six of 475 cubic inches and a naturally aspirated overhead-valve 8.1L gasoline V8 of 496, carried by two bodies: a medium conventional straight truck and a four-door crew cab straight truck. Three configurations are listed, C8C042, C8C064 and C8E042. With one diesel and one gasoline engine in the book, the fuel and air handling material divides cleanly in two instead of branching across several displacements.
