Yea, the 4.3 in these years was a Hi Output engine raised the HP to around 190. My brother in law is ONLY GMC. He has owned the 4.3 he has had good luck with them. I have had a Ranger 4x4 with auto hubs and electric shift, It worked great. We had an 04 Chevy Trailblazer with electric 4x4 that worked great. So I have never had any problems with them so far. I gathered up my money & Thursday morning I'm headed to Prescott if it checks out then I will drive it home & they will own my Dodge. That will update our fleet of trucks. The 1986 F250 4x4 we own is staying with us. In 3 years it will be 25 years old and if smog comes it will be exempt as I read the info Bill W gave. It is for towing our trailer if need be, but we aren't going anywhere for sometime. My wife is resigning with the Bullhead City School District for next year. She will transfer into the Special Ed dept as it looks right now. So Kingman is home I hope for sometime. We both really like it here. We live in a really nice RV park in old town Kingman.

Bart I'm PM ing you in a few minutes.
