yeah other than that they are pretty solid motors.

 

Absolutely. These motors are bulletproof. I just totaled my 97 s-10 a month ago, with 205,000 miles on the 4.3 ... it never had one problem. And this motor is just as wonderful so far, after i fixed everything that wasn't maintained. keep me up to date man. id love to know what the problem actually is!

 

ill keep it posted up on here. this is actually the 3rd blazer i have owned. i owned an 89 with the 4.3 and the reason why it stopped running was because a tree came down across it. then i took the motor out of that and am waiting for the motor in the 2.8L i have now to go out so i can swap it out. and then i recently bought this one. which is low mileage.
