Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
its weird, this truck is supposed to have mpi but has the smpi fuel system, it was either a mid year change, or someone went to alot of time and money to upgrade the fuel system
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
stock 4.3, still had 180 psi compression on all 6. gets 23 highway mpg, 17 city. must be the 3.42 gearing.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
had 235-70-15 tires stock. had a extra set of wheels that were 15 x 6 and ive polished them up and put 225-70-15 tires on. overall outside diameter is the same as the oringinal configuration.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
homemade mud flaps made from one 36 x 24 semi-trailer mud flap. about $8.00
Future Modifications:
want to put the 3.73 ratio axles from my '95 parts blazer into this one.
