99 extreme 4 cyclinder .. any know problems with them .. do they hold up fairly well?
motor has 92k ..
i have no clue when it come to these trucks ...
any feed back would be great...

 

It's a Chevy . . . . . .









JFWY None that I know of, kinda hihg mileage for that year truck though.

 

i know you said jfwy . but are chevys bad?
i owned one for a month .. a blazer.. it was ok ... very slow .... didnt really get my hands in the engine bay so i have no idea when it come to these motors etc..

 

Nah Chey's are just fine. I've owned two Chevy cars that were POS's in my view. Grandpa had a '98 1500 with well over 200k on the odometer and never had a single issue. My cousin has a new Trailblazer and it is an awesoem ride. I'm just a die hard Ford guy and liek to stick to what I know.

 

my s10 blazer has 160k on it

but dont get the 2.2 it is dog slow. the 4.3 is much much much better

 

so stay away from the 2.2s those are the 4 cyclinder right ?

 

naw, i would personally go with the 2.2, you'll save more gas and there isent really much of a differece between the 6 and 4 anyways... is it a 5 spd? the 5spd are much quicker but if you own a truck are you really lookin for speed? the 2.2 will last you forever. i know of couple of people who has over 150k alost 200k with no problems still runin strong. those lil s10's will run for ever and you can make them look real good. my 2 cents

 

120hp/140tq for the 4 cyl

190/250 for the 4.3

yeah you wont notice the differance

and my 4.3 is on 160k and I hydrolocked it already once!

 

buddy of mine has a 6 and can only get me by a truck and a half... for all the gas you waste in the 6 for that extra truck and a half i would still go with the 4. my truck has 147k and im still runnin problem free....... BUMP FOR THE 2.2 4 CLYL

 

i have a 99 chevy extreme... im new to the site and area. i have the 2.2 w/97 miles and havent had any problems yet. and with gas prices now a days mostly all trucks are gas hoggs but not s10's . i would personally go with the 4cyln from a fellow extreme owner.....
