What engine do I have?

[goducks124]

I was doing some research and trying to decode my vin. Am I reading this correct and according to this chart, H for engine description in 1989?

I was under the impression I had a 1989 305 v8. Am I reading the chart wrong?

My vin 2GCEC14H8K1187529. Doesn’t show an H under section 6 for a 1989. But section 8 matches correctly with a K. What am I missing?

2GCEC14H8K1187529 shows as

Style / Body: Regular Cab 2DEngine: 5.0L V8 FI Country of Assembly: Canada

81-89 does not make sense, as gmt400 trucks were from 88 with some from 92

Yeah that's a chart likely meant for the R/V series trucks (squarebody)

8th digit H is indeed a 5.0 TBI engine for a GMT400

Shameless link to my own vin decoder card, pretty complete and I believe to be accurate, info culled from many trusted sources and direct experience:

Vin "H" is the LG4 305.

That chart is also missing plant code "E", which googling tells me is the Lindon, NJ plant. My truck's VIN is hard to read, but it's definitely an E in that position.

Also, found this. It's how I know for sure that's an "E". The check digit matches up.
