But the LS2 6.0L is the kickass new engine. 400 hp, 400 lb-ft torque.

It's the same 350cid small-block they've been using forever, they just changed the heads, metallurgy (Aluminum), and fuel delivery system... What's 'not true' about the LS series motors? |

4.3 V6 Chevy is one of the best engines made.
Its a 350 with 2 chambers chopped off, making it 262, biggest V6 on market and 260-270 ft. lbs of torque. It's funny when your 4.3 S-10 has almost the same towing ability as a V8 dodge Dakota and gets way better gas mileage. Enough about the gas engines, I don't even care anymore about gas engines in trucks, whoever makes the best Diesel truck gets my money next go around. In this threads case, I'd have to say Ford makes the best Diesel out of the 2. |

The 4.3 is a fantastic motor, aside form having to replace the $400 injector (MPFI) on the Vortec after it starts blowing black smoke at around 10 years old or 90k miles) I'm still waiting for my sister to get rid of her Blazer, I am going to keep the 4.3 for a future rock buggy project. |

LOL Had a '87 Silverado longbox with the 305. It's kinda lame for a truck motor IMHO. |

Personally I like Fords (my vote) but I don't hate Chevy's either.

This is at LEAST the second time you've said this. Is there a story behind it? (2001 Suburban with ALL lights working.) |

True, the 92-95 had this issue. The injectors been updated, since then and the update is much more reliable. Replacing the injector is REALLY easy, so that's a plus in all of that. BTW, you can find those injectors for not much more then $200 on Ebay. Also, more and more website are offering "worked over" injectors for $200-$300 that eliminate failure all together. GL on your project btw, that sounds like fun! Also, MPFI injection was on the Turbo syclone/typhoon engines, CPI injection is the type your looking for. |

I like Ford trucks. Would consider Chevy/GMC in the pre-vortec models. Would only have a Dodge if it were 3/4 or 1 ton w/ a Cummins. If Dodge would get off their idiot streak and build a real crew cab they would probably sell a whole lot more trucks.

Oops, yea, I just remembered that... good catch  The buggy project wont be fore a while yet.. I have too many things on the burner now.. My first project is going to be my Sonoma, as soon as a get something else to do all my highway driving. Nothing secial about it right now, just a 00 2wd ext cab with a 4banger.. but I have some neat plans for it. ( 6.5"lift, 30's, poly bushings & cab mounts,8.5" rear, locker, gears, zq8 stearing box, 4wheel disk brakes, fibreglass hood, and some day.. LS1/6sp swap  )

I voted Ford and I own three Chevy's. This is ridiculous, all happened before 60,000 miles 1999 Chevrolet Silverado: ABS broken passenger side window broken (electric) emergency brake (rear) gone out the infamous "Piston Slap" plagueing all trucks of these time frame etc. 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier: broken moonroof/sunroof rear speakers quit working fuel pump went out (500 MILES FROM HOME ON VACATION) etc. |

General Motors Corporation
 transit.metrokc.gov/am/vehicles/hy-diesel.html  In May 2004, Metro began taking delivery of 235 hybrid diesel-electric buses to replace the 236 Breda buses built in 1990-91 operating on routes using the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel – 213 are bring purchased by Metro and 22 by Sound Transit. The first two dozen hybrids went in service in South King County on June 5. All 235 will be on the road by the end of 2004. These are the first hybrid articulated buses in North America. They were made for Metro by New Flyer Industries, with a hybrid electric drive supplied by Allison Transmission, a division of General Motors. The Allison parallel system provides both a mechanical and an electrical path through the drive unit. As the bus accelerates from a stop, electric drive predominates. Mechanical gradually blends with electric until at highway speeds, the drive is purely mechanical. ___________________________________________________________ Same choice for my personal vehicles. GM products work best for me. For those of you with different preferences, as "W" says, 'I appreciate that...'
