2009 GMC Savana 3500 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 GMC Savana 3500 has five trims to account for, Base, LS, LT, SL and SLE, and seven body configurations, running from cargo vans in three-door standard, three-door extended and four-door standard form to the matching passenger vans and the two-door cutaway. Three overhead-valve V8s power them: a turbocharged 6.6L diesel of 403 cubic inches and naturally aspirated 6.0L and 4.8L gasoline units. Specifications and torque values are separated by engine so the correct figures are quick to find.

Known issues on the 2009 Savana 3500. The federal record for this model year is clean: no recalls and no owner complaints logged with NHTSA. That leaves the manual to do ordinary shop work, which on a van offered in five trims and seven bodies is plenty. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics cover the turbocharged 6.6L diesel V8 and both gasoline V8s, and they carry through the cargo, passenger and cutaway configurations rather than stopping at one variant.
