Yeah. I think that 4.3 is GM's best engine, but I drove my sister's
4.3-powered Jimmy 4x4, the smaller version (it's a 94) the other day..
HATED IT! The gas pedal's mushy, the brake pedal goes halfway down before
doing anything, and it had _no_ power. all the time, I'm thinking, my
Dak'll smoke this thing with 400lbs in the bed. And that's with a 3.9 versus
a 4.3!
I'm telling you, my Dak is great. I'd almost me scared to drive a similarly
equipped truck with the 360..
The only thing I wish I had is the 5-speed.
No GM's for me!
Later,
Jon
