How many horses?

I have an 89 F-150 supercab 4x4 with the 302 and auto tranny. Does anyone know what the factory horsepower and torque output ratings are? Thank you in advance. Scott

Thanks for the info. I've got a
modified Jeep that I like to tow to
4-wheel drive events on a tandem
axle trailor. I just bought this
truck this week and I wanted to
know what to expect from it as far
as pulling power goes. Thanks.
Scott

I sometimes pull a 16-ft car trailer behind my 89, and havent had any trouble. You wanna makesure that your transmission stays cool though, otherwise expect to be brokedown and spend a hunk of change down the road. Make sure you have a Transmission cooler.

My truck does have a tranny cooler. It looks like it's a factory item. The truck is originally from Minnesota but I live in Phoenix, Az so I was thinking of putting a bigger one in just to be on the safe side. Having just bought this truck, I have spent several hours pouring over this site trying to learn more about it. In doing so, I have seen your name all over the place. I recall seeing a post that said somewhere in this site there was a decoder to find out what all of the various ID numbers mean. Do you know where I can find this? Thanks. Scott
