My new truck.

4.3 is a good thing , same bore and stroke as a SBC (small block chevy)
A lot more power !!

I never understood why GM put such a underpowered 2.8 in some , almost the same power as the 4cyl. .LOL

im so happy drool

i didnt think i had the 2.8, cause when i rev it in park the whole truck rocks. and from what i hear. the 2.8 is puny and wouldnt do such a thing.


havnt tried out 4wd yet. i dotn knwo much about it. liek can i use it for long distances or is only liek a get stuck throw it 4x4 kinda thing?

i dont mean liek long long travels but i mean when thers snow on the ground can i use it to get around?

Drive it anywhere !!!!

I just bought one right before Halloween , it has a automatic 4WD mode , or 4Hi,4Lo,2HI modes.

or 4Hi,4Lo,2HI modes.

thats what mine has. so 4wd high would be all the gears and low is the lower gears?

[packrat427]

Yes 4wd-HI is the same gear ratio as 2wd , 4wd-LO cuts the ratio in more than half .
Never use the 4wd on dry pavement , very hard on the drivetrain .
4wd-LO is for really extreme conditions , like deep snow ,mud, or maybe pulling someone out , but not a good idea to drive for a extended period in that gear , you will see when you use it .
It takes about 75 feet to reach top speed ..LOL
