2008 Chevrolet Chevy Express G2500, Van Cargo, 6.6 6SECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The following conditions must be met in order to engage stationary PTO:

  • The engine must be running.
  • The vehicle cannot be moving and the parking brake must be set.
  • The shift lever must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
  • The brake pedal must not be pressed.

In-cab PTO operation: Press and release the 1 position on the PTO switch. The PTO LED will flash fast until the PTO load becomes engaged. When the load becomes engaged, the LED will stop flashing and stay illuminated. The SET - and RES + switch positions can then be used to establish the desired PTO operating speed.

Remote PTO operation: Press and release the remote PTO arming switch, then within five seconds, move the PTO enabled switch from OFF to ON. The remote LED will illuminate when the PTO load is engaged. The PTO remote SET switch can then be used to establish the desired PTO operating speed. These switches are accessed through the PTO upfitter connector, located under the passenger side door.
