Thats what I got under my hood 4.9:-X22

The 4.9 was a great motor...very torquey...too bad they couldn't get it to keep up with emissions regulations.

fire240 01-02-2013 04:08 PM

Yeah I liked trhe torque it made. Wasnt the fastest thing out there but it would get the job done when the others couldnt.

BIGKEN 01-02-2013 04:09 PM

Very reliable also.

Welcome to the short bus chapter. The driver Don, is the biggest special needs of all. LOL

That it was Ken. Never let me down. Did have a c clip in the tranny break once. Had to limp the truck home and call for a tow truck the next day to get it to the tranny shop. That was fun. EVery time I stopped I would have to shut the truck off to get it to go into first gear.

I took one in trade last fall...338K on the motor...customer claimed it had never been apart. It was a standard shift...he said on the 2nd clutch.
