This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 carries one engine, one body and one trim: the 364-cubic-inch 6.0L OHV V8, naturally aspirated and running gasoline, in a two-door standard cab pickup sold as Base. That narrow specification is useful on the shop floor, since the clearances, torque values and diagnostic routines printed for this engine need no checking against another displacement, and the wiring diagrams describe a single cab structure with one level of equipment in it.

- 6.0L V8 (364 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 2009 Silverado 3500. The federal record holds six recalls. Three of them are the same mechanism repeated across separate populations: an air bag inflator that can explode as it deploys, sending sharp metal fragments toward the people it was meant to protect. An auxiliary battery fusible link can melt and damage the electrical center cover and the harness conduit next to it, and a heated washer module can ignite. The sixth covers a fire extinguisher that may not discharge when needed. Air bags lead the 86 complaints at 19, then the electrical system at 15.
