I agree. I have a '94 GMC Jimmy with a 4.3 Vortec, its been 99% reliable
i've only had 2 major problems over the 12 years I had it. I had to replace
the fuel pump and the spider fuel injectors twice. Never any transmission
problems with well over 200k on it. Love it like a first child despite getting
a MSRT8 Smiley
