I do agree, the 4.3L is problematic, however if done proper it can be a star!!! Just like any engine I guess!!! But whynot go that extra mile and get something proven to be faithful and relaible? The 4.3 is not even a gas effiecent vehicle!! I had an 05' blazer and went through an engine and when we traded it in was begining to tick! I do admit I am hard on my vehicles!! lol..But with a Toyota your options are alot more open!!!
