General Motors released the Chevrolet K2500 to the market from 1988 to 2002 by advancing Chevrolet C/K series platforms using updated engine and transmission platforms. Chevrolet K2500 customers have the choice of two engines which include a base V6 engine with 200 horsepower while the optional V8 engine provides 230 horsepower and torque production. Select the 5.7L V8 engine since it provides both maximum horsepower production at 255 units and torque output at 330 lb-ft. Every model features 16-valve designs. The current Chevrolet K2500 trucks produce 290 horsepower at 4600 RPM when their 6.0L V8 engine starts working and create 430 lb-ft of torque soon after shifting to 4000 RPM. The four-wheel-drive system of the Chevrolet K2500 model receives its power from a 5-speed automatic transmission in the "K2500" model that belongs to the "K" series. Both the front and rear suspension systems of the Chevrolet K2500 include short-long arm design in front and leaf springs in rear to provide improved driving performance together with better load management. The Chevrolet K2500 lineup gained driver safety by including 4-wheel ABS brakes as standard and reinforced side-beam protection. OEM Chevy K2500 parts create strong components that stay reliable and perform well through built-in performance standards.
