It was Friday night heading east from North Platte, Neb. Was making 80 mph. It was dark, so didn't get a good look at it.

If the s10 was a 4.3, it'll pull quite a bit. Of course wether I clain Mississippi or my original home of Pennsylvania, we all have crazy folks that do things like that. I have see much worse combos (even some that I didn't have nothing to do with

)

Geez, I used my '90 S-15 4.3l today for a dump run, had a little over 500 kgs on the trailer (approx. 1,100 lbs.) and that was enough of a load for it. Lots of power just short in the braking, suspension dept.

Chevrolet4x4s · 03-27-2006, 10:38 PM

Or it could have been like the black s-10 around here with the Corvette 350
Shane

....It Is West Virginia after all

northcountry67 · 03-27-2006, 10:49 PM

Maybe the S-10 was a 3/4 ton with a V8, lol

chevymad · 03-28-2006, 12:40 AM

I once saw a chrysler minivan pulling a 3 axle equipment trailer(like my dad's weighs 3500lbs) with an 84 or so ford F250 4x4 diesel on top of it. The whole mess was heading south on I5.. Scared the hell outa me..

edmonton72 · 03-28-2006, 02:59 AM

my dad had a 1997 cheyenne 1500 with a 4.3, 5-speed, 3.42 rear end and it towed a 30ft trailer that weighed 4000-5000lbs pretty good. those 4.3s are pretty good motors, just a 350 with 2 cylinders chopped off. My dad sold that truck to my cousin and im going to be driving that truck this summer, YEAH!
