who has a truck with a 4.3

im waiting on pedro to sell me his sonoma... *hint hint*

when i had the 4.3 in Penny (my 99 sierra 5 speed) i got a best of 22 hwy (avg 19 hwy) & averaged 16 in town. that was with 31.5" tires, AIRAID filter, tune, & 87 octane

Eh if it has the 2.2 that will be good to putt around in, doesnt really have that much power but it still goes. The 2.2 gets way better then the 4.3

But 2.2s dont last as long as the 4.3s.....Junk IMO

personal preference puts the 4.3 over the 2.2 i doubt the 2.2 get much better gas mileage than the 4.3, atleast if driven the same. you have to rape a 2.2 for it to move out of its own weight. how much you willing to spend?

130k on the 2.2 and still pumpin lol

I've know people who have had a RCSS 2.2L 5 speed and they are dogs. The gas mileage isn't great because you have to floor it everywhere you go just to move with the speed of traffic.

my friend has a mid-90s RCSB 4x4 s10 with the 4.3/auto and she still gets a little better than my truck did. that's with mid-100k miles & she drives kinda fast
