2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 works within a single build: chassis cab, Base trim, one gasoline V8. The 6.0L OHV V8 displaces 364 cubic inches and is naturally aspirated, and it sits in a two-door cab and chassis that carries whatever body its owner specified. Procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are grouped by system, so a fuel delivery fault and a body electrical fault are traced in separate sections rather than one general chapter.

Known issues on the 2016 Silverado 3500. Six recalls appear on the federal record. A brake pedal pivot nut that loosens until the pedal is slack or dead accounts for two of them. Two more involve front air bags and belt pretensioners that can stay dormant in a crash, and one a roof-rail air bag inflator whose end cap can separate or whose sidewall can rupture. The sixth is the dual-tank fuel level sensor sticking low, letting the front tank overfill and press against the driveshaft. Steering draws 18 of the 61 complaints, ahead of fuel and propulsion at 7 and the service brakes at 6.
