those things are a nightmare to work on, and past 100K #6 cyl will lose compression, the EGR passages will clog up and it will generaly run like a chevy CRAP

but your the one who drives it so if your happy then thats all that matters

[bikeboarder]

looking good. i think the new wheels will help the look of it a lot. and the 33s will defenatally make it look better then most of those S10.

 

[Arthur]

yeah the factory wheel offset makes it look horrible... the wheels i'm getting have a -30mm offset so it should help the look a lot

nice looking ride now my buddy just bought one yesterday me and him went to go pick it up there okay trucks

 

[seth247]

ok I'll admit

It OKAY

The big tires help alot. Those things look puny with the factory wheels.

make sure you buy ball joints and wheel bearings with every oil change, thats all im saying about the s-10s. other than that, a properly maintained 4.3 multi port is a very strong motor.

 

[freeridejunkie87]

those 4.3's are great engines, built the same as the 350 small blocks, its just missing 2 cylinders... they are pushrod engines, and theres lots of aftermarket support to build em up strong and powerful.

for a light trail truck i guess the blazer would be alright, has a nice full size truck trans in it...cant complain about that

for offroad though...you really cant beat a ford, or, dare i say it a... toyota if you want long travel and great offroad ability

haven't had ball joint or wheel baring problems at all... they are notorious for fuel pump issues, but I haven't had any problems... the control are bushings are the only thing I have had to replace more than once
