2009 Chevrolet T6500 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 Chevrolet T6500 works from one engine and two builds: a turbocharged 7.8L diesel inline-six of 475 cubic inches, in a straight truck with a low tilt cab offered as F6B042 or T6F042. A range this settled favors the technician, because a single set of engine specifications, wear limits and torque values covers all of it, and the chassis, cab and electrical procedures apply to both builds without exception.

Known issues on the 2009 T6500. A truck of this class earns its keep through uptime, and the material here is aimed squarely at that: diagnostic routines that isolate a fuel, air or charging fault before parts are pulled, engine procedures with the clearances and service limits that decide whether a component is reused, torque values quoted where each fastener is installed, and wiring diagrams complete enough to follow a circuit through the cab and chassis.
