Re: Any of guys ever see a 4.3 V6 in our years trucks??
I had one in a 97 Blazer and I have one now in an 08 Silverado. In the blazer I loved it but in the Silverado I can't hardly stand it. I would get 20+mpg out of the blazer but I'm lucky to get 18 out of the Silverado. All in all I would say its a great motor especially if you plan to just drive it and not for performance or pulling, at least in a stock form. Throw a turbo on it and then, as stated above, performance enters a whole new level.
I plan to build a 50 GMC on an S10 and I'm planning to run the S10's 4.3 but I do want a manual trans over the auto. But again, I know what the truck is for and it ain't pullin' or chasing lights!
