Bones, i'd like to see more pics of your truck out in the sun... or atleast out of the shade

Here's all I have right now. I plan to do some retakes later after I replace the wheels and get a tonneau...Maybe I'll do a reshoot this weekend.

Congrats and welcome to the club... Just to clarify do you mean 4.8 and not 4.3 L V6? I didn't think the Silvy's came with a 4.3 L. If so that was the same engine I had in my Blazer. Good engine, a real workhorse.

Yeah. All of the 6cyls are 4.6's. My buddy has one in his EXtremely long bed 2000 silverado work truck.

4.3?

Yeah,....that one

The little 4.3L is ok in a regular cab sportside. I don't know if it is just tuned with less torque management or what but when I first got mine it would lay rubber for a good 50 feet and chirp the tires from 30mph. I think I need a new timing chain because it won't do it anymore.

Oh my God, you mean you FINALLY committed! It's a miracle. Someone call the POPE!

But seriously....glad you picked a GOOD truck, not just one that looks good. I hope you like it, and don't worry. 4.3 L V6's are a peppy and suprisingly powerful engine!

im confused is mine the 4.3 or 4.6 the ad said it was just a 6cyl

If it's the 6 cylinder its a 4.3L. Rated at 200 hp and 260 lbs of torque I believe.

you bought a truck and dont know what motor it is?? i thought they quit the 4.3 back in 98 or 99 and went to the 4.8. the 4.3 went to 4.8 and the 5.7 went to 5.3.

negative sportin, the 4.3L V6 is still around. The 4.8 is a V8.

oic thats news to me. i just thought they did away with the v6 in the fullsize trucks. i have never seen a 4.3 in a 99 or newer truck. i looked at 20 or 30 when i bought mine. and never saw one. 90% of them i saw had the 5.3 and thats what i got.

after this man said this at that point I became confused however I still belive its a 4.3

If it's a 6 cyl., its a 4.3 v6. GM has not started using the Atlas 4.6 I-6 in the full size truck yet. Check either on top of you airfilter box or on the plastic cover that is surrounding the hood catch on the truck, and there should be a sticker that says CATALYST on it, and that will have your engine size printed on it

what is the best way to post pix

Add them to your galary. Copy the hyperlink to your clip board. Then when you post in a thread you just insert the hyperlink....
