The only problem I had was a vacum leak. 5.99$ for a new gas cap fixed the problem.
This truck has a very good performance stock, but with a flow master exhaust system, K&N cold air intake and a good J&J throttle body spacer, this truck is great. I have the Z72 on road package and it handles like a charm. Others complain about the governor, I went out and bought the HypertechIII programmer which eliminates the governor and I can also adjust the speedometer to my new 3:73 Detroit locker rear-end (3:08 stock). All together, about 1200$ of modifications and a 13.5 sec. quarter mile with a 4.3 liter vortec. The interior is good, the seats are very comfortable, but the next one I buy will be automatic because the clutch is stiff causing pain in traffic.
Hey I just read your review of a GMC Sonoma. I'm 16 and thinking about getting a Sonoma myself. I want to try to get it in the twelves under $2000. On drag radials. Do you know of some more after-market parts to get more HP and TQ without going to turbo, supercharger, and engine rebuild or swap.
