During the production period from 1979 to 1999 the GMC P3500 became a crucial milestone for GMC because it featured powerful engineering alongside various functional uses. The standard GMC P3500 wheelbase model supports detailed cargo operations along with transportation duties and these functions apply to larger requirements through the extension wheelbase option. GMC P3500 vehicles from production time featured a fuel option between 5.7L gasoline V8 or 6.2L/6.5L diesel V8 and transmission options included 3-speed or 4-speed automatic to deliver stable torque for business functions. The engine with a turbocharged two-cylinder diesel 2.8-liter four-cylinder model produces 181 horsepower at 369 lb-ft of torque through transmission power delivered by an eight-speed automatic transmission. Each GMC P3500 engine serves to improve the vehicle's driving response so it operates dependably when pulling cargo of different weights. Safety and convenience features such as parking sensors are included with the vehicle together with forward collision warning and lane departure alerts systems. GMC provides genuine parts for P3500 models which satisfy manufacturer quality requirements to maintain reliable vehicle performance and integrity. Engine cooling components among OEM parts from GMC demonstrate seamless integration because GMC dedicates itself to delivering quality products that satisfy their customers.
