Re: mods

i got a catalog the other day with some good ideas. LMC
truck. there is a throttlebody spacer that they say will improveperformance and fuel economy, by allowing the fuel to travel further improving fuel dispersion and atomization. it say that makes the fuel easier ignite and burn. said to increase throttle responce, 10-15% improvement in torque and gas milage increase by 8%.
easy bolt on. only for 4.3 with tbi 88 to 93. $70.
also for sound they have an exhaust that replases your stock muffer. it all hooks right on behind cat converter Ys out after the cat leading to two 31/2"
resonator tips that replase muffler. looks real good. $200. adds more houres with a little noise.

Re: mods

I believe that it can be either a 4.3L, or a 2.8L in 88. Not to mention the 4 banger.
It would really help us to know what motor you have since they are all so different.

Re: mods

A 5 speed with a 4.3L is a rare combo. That should be 1 fun truck when it's done
