What this manual has that the owner's manual does not

The owner's manual stops where the repair starts. The factory repair manual picks up from there:

• Owner's manual: controls, warning lights, maintenance schedule, fluid types
• Factory repair manual: removal and installation steps, torque specs, diagnostic trouble codes, wiring diagrams and component locations

Model year 2021 is part of the T1XX Silverado generation (2019–2026). Years of the same generation share most procedures; equipment and electrical details still change from year to year, so the manual follows your VIN.
