1987 GMC V2500 Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 GMC V2500 covers the three-quarter-ton two-door standard cab pickup with three naturally aspirated engines on its list: the 6.2L overhead-valve V8 diesel, the 4.8L overhead-valve inline-six of 292 cubic inches and the 5.7L V8, the last two running on gasoline. Base, High Sierra and Sierra Classic trims were offered. An inline-six alongside two V8s means genuinely different accessory drives, cooling arrangements and tune-up figures, and each engine's procedures and torque values are given separately.

Known issues on the 1987 V2500. One owner complaint is logged with NHTSA against this model year, and it concerns the steering. That is a single data point rather than a trend, but steering on a heavy four-wheel-drive pickup is worth taking seriously, since wear in the box, the linkage joints or the front axle assembly all present as the same vague wander at the wheel. The manual works through that systematically, with inspection procedures, published specifications, torque values and alignment figures.
