However, the horsepower output varied depending on the specific model and year.
Here's what you need to know to find the horsepower for your 1985 GMC:
1. Identify your specific model: GMC made various trucks, so it's important to know if you have a Sierra, C1500, etc.
2. Check your VIN: Your Vehicle Identification Number will reveal the engine code, helping you pinpoint the exact engine used.
3. Consult a reliable source: Once you know the engine code, use resources like:
* The Haynes Repair Manual for your specific truck: They provide detailed information, including engine specs.
* Websites like GM Heritage: They offer historical data on vehicles, including engine horsepower.
* Your local GMC dealership: They can access information based on your VIN.
General Information:
The 5.0L V8 engines in 1985 GMC trucks typically produced around 150-170 horsepower, but again, this can vary.
