Wish gm made pickups with this inline 6. After owning several v6's I just hate them. 2.8, 3.1 and 4.3 v6 all junk. Either head gasket problems or Engine rebuilt with 150,000 miles on it or like the 4.3 rod shooting through the oil pan. I'm done buying the v6. I'll buy a inline 4 or maybe a v8. But not a v6 anymore. That 4.2 looks like a good engine from it's specs. Should last longtime like a semi diesel engine.
florida, the car performs well but it does have some issues. the idler pully started squeaking and had to be replaced. the rear speakers only work some of the time; one went out. we also have the faulty instrument cluster. overall a good vehicle but if we ever got another one i would take care of these issues. get an aftermarket head unit and speakers. you can get the upgraded stepper motors to fix the instrument cluster for 28 bucks from ebay. all of this can be done if your a little handy.

Where in the U.S. do you live?
I'm thinking of getting this car sooner or later... has there been any problems with it?
