2009 GMC W5500 Forward Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2009 GMC W5500 Forward covers the model year in both of its cab forms, the low tilt straight truck and the low crew cab straight truck, with a single trim code, W5S042, and a single engine: the turbocharged 5.2L inline-four of 317 cubic inches. Where the two bodies diverge, the procedures and wiring diagrams follow each separately; where they share hardware, one set of specifications and torque values does for both.
