Technical Specifications and Reference

Workshop professionals and DIY enthusiasts rely on accurate baseline data before starting any diagnostic work. This publication houses essential technical specifications for the 1996 F-body platform. Mechanics get immediate access to critical limits, such as the 12.5-quart coolant volume and the 15.5-gallon fuel tank capacity. Engine-specific data highlights important thresholds for the 3.8L V6 and 5.7L V8 LT1, including the factory coolant thermostat activation at 180°F (82°C) and the required wheel nut torque rating of 100 lb-ft (140 N·m). For vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, the documentation includes optimized shift speed tables tailored to the 3800 L36 and LT1 powerplants. Please note that while this manual provides exact factory specifications, it serves as an operational reference document rather than a step-by-step repair guide. Always observe standard shop safety practices and verify procedures with proper diagnostic tools when servicing these systems.
