How many miles does a GM 8.1 workhorse engine run?
The mechanical portion of the 8.1 was built to run 300,000 miles if all service intervals are met and the rpm’s are not pushed. Deliver companies do run engines hard and long! These engines are built for torque not high RPM numbers They are not warranted for 300,000 miles though!!!
What kind of engine does a Chevy workhorse have?
I am looking at a 2010 with Chevy Workhorse engine /Allison transmission. I need some feed back should I or should not. I just heard the same back fire noise in my 2003 pace arrow, 22000 miles, at the time I heard the noise I was pushing it pretty hard, steep hill, 4300rpms, air conditioning going full blast.
What’s the name of the Chevy workhorse RV chassis?
It is called W-15. It is possible that their new W-88 is put on some motorhomes but the details are sketchy at best. The W-88 is based on their old P series RV chassis but again, their website seems to be silent about that chassis use on RVs.
What kind of horsepower does a GM 8.1L V8 have?
The 8.1L Vortec V8 is far from lacking in the horsepower and torque departments, although fuel mileage might not be much to write home about. On that note, this might be one of those engines you’ll only want to start when you really need to.
