2009 Chevrolet Equinox Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet Equinox spans four trims, LS, LT, LTZ and Sport, on a single four-door sport utility body, with two naturally aspirated V6 engines available: the 3.4L of 207 cubic inches with overhead valves and the 3.6L of 217 cubic inches with double overhead cams. A technician needs to know which is in the vehicle before opening the engine section, because the two carry different figures throughout, in clearances, torque values and diagnostic specifications alike.
