This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 GMC Transit Bus documents the cab forward transit coach in a single Base listing, with the vehicle record itemizing no engine displacement for this year. Coverage is organized around the chassis and body: running gear, brakes, steering and suspension, door and body hardware, and the coach electrical system. Each of those carries its own removal and installation procedures, published specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostic steps, written for people maintaining a bus rather than restoring one.
Body styles covered
- Bus (non school), cab forward
Trims covered
- Base
Known issues on the 1987 Transit Bus. No recalls stand on the federal record for the 1987 Transit Bus and no owner complaints are logged with NHTSA. Since the vehicles were maintained by transit agencies with their own defect reporting, that is what one would expect. It also means this manual carries the whole institutional knowledge of the coach: how the chassis and body systems come apart, what they specify, what they torque to, and how their circuits are traced.
