How much horsepower does a 96 Chevy Silverado have?

The horsepower of a 1996 Chevy Silverado varies greatly depending on the engine it was equipped with. Chevrolet offered several engine options for that year. You'll need to know the specific engine to determine the horsepower. For example:

* 4.3L V6: This engine typically produced around 160-190 horsepower, depending on the specific configuration.

* 5.0L V8: This engine produced around 190-230 horsepower, again depending on the specific configuration.

* 5.7L V8: This engine was more powerful, usually producing around 255 horsepower.

* 7.4L V8: This large-block V8 put out significantly more horsepower; around 230-255 horsepower, depending on the specific application.

To find the exact horsepower for your 1996 Chevy Silverado, check the vehicle's sticker (often located in the glove compartment or on the driver's side doorjamb) or the owner's manual. The engine displacement (e.g., 4.3L, 5.7L) will be clearly stated, and that will help you find the horsepower rating in a repair manual, online resources, or a vehicle specification database.
