As time has gone by several things can be said about the Chevrolet C7500 Kodiak series: including the strong reaction most buyers have towards their medium duty. The 6-cylinder engine is at the core of the strong emotions, it is reliable for its class and delivers a huge amount of torque.

Performance

The C7500 Kodiak C7E042 is equipped with a Caterpillar 7.2 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 12 valves. The engine is mated to a N/A 4-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.

The 2007 C7500 Kodiak's normal fuel system runs on diesel. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected () style of design. The fuel tank holds 31.00 gallons.

The C7500 Kodiak uses drum-assisted brakes, with ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a -steering -style configuration. The medium duty uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
