Lmao! I've had a '96 4.3 Vortech Sonoma and a 95 LT-1 Formula- Don't get me started on what pieces of crap they were! Neither one had 80k on them when they broke down.... seriously!
The Formula had a nuclear meltdown at 78k when the distributor block went out and blew every sensor under the hood! It wouldn't even change into 2nd, so I was mean and traded it in w/o saying anything!
The 4.3 Vortech was so screwed up from the Red Antifreeze that it couldn't be fixed... it was flushed 4 times and once flushed out of the bloody freakin' truck with no freez plugs and the radiator routed!
Never ever ever ever ever ever ever again! I have 2 friends with similar stories who had camaros.
Among the best cars I have owned were a 2000 civic and an 88 crx, and my new '05 4Runner. Hats off to the Japanese- until the stupid kids get ahold of the cars. Hats off to Ford for my '03 Ranger and my '89 Mustang!
