[QUOTE="Squatch, post: 425212, member: 18599"] Just wanted to throw this out there. I never had any interest in a 4.3, as I'm not really a GM man. However, I picked up a one owner 2000 S10 Blazer 2wd 2-door with 70,000 original miles on it last December. The 94 year old owner had passed away, and I was offered the ultra clean rig for $300 (which I just couldn't do without feeling guilty, so I gave them $1,000 and still slept well that night). Anyways, I drove it on a 450 mile road trip, and got just under 23 mpg (at 70 mph). Not wicked powerful, but enough so that I will say that I'm impressed with the little engines. There's a kajillion of these things out there, and they can still be found at decent prices, which is the point of my long-winded post. I think your choice of drivetrains is a solid one. (y) [/QUOTE]
