Get under the engine bay and uses a flashlight to find the VIN. The VIN stamp will vary from vehicle to vehicle, but will be mounted somewhere on the engine block. Some older vehicles will contain a serial number instead of a VIN. Match up the VIN from the engine block to the VIN on the vehicle. If the engine block has a serial number instead of a VIN then contact the manufacture dealer to see what serial number the original engine block had.

I want to know the engine size of my gmc sierra pickup?

The GMC Sierra light truck has been in production for many years. It has been produced in many engine and transmission trims. If the vehicle is original, there are multiple means to figure out the engine type. The first method involved opening the hood and looking for an emissions label. If this fails the vehicle's VIN number can be recorded and consulted with a GM dealer. These two methods work if the vehicle has an original or specified engine (has not been replaced with a different or custom motor).
