Performance
Typical Performance Gm Vortec V8:
Horsepower typically ranging from 280-325 HP and torque from 320-450 lb-ft, depending on specific engine displacement and tuning. Diesel variants would offer higher torque figures.
Fuel System
Fuel System Types:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for gasoline engines, Common Rail Diesel Injection (CRDI) for diesel engines. The manual covers fuel pump operation, injector testing, fuel filter replacement, and fuel system diagnostics.
Engine Codes
Common Engine Codes:
While not explicitly listed, common GM engine codes for this era like L31 (5.7L Vortec), LM7 (5.3L Vortec), LQ4/LQ9 (6.0L Vortec), and the LB7/LLY/LBZ/LMM for the 6.6L Duramax diesel are likely covered.
🔧 Transmission
Standard
