Anyone have any clue what changed between the 1996 silverado 1500 4.3L V6 vortec engine on upward to the one placed in the 2001 silverado 1500?
Curious because of hearing about oil pumps failing.

Just a refresh, they changed the intake, and gave it a bit more HP. Other than that not much changed.

Seemed like it. Looking to score a 2001 c1500 tomorrow for 7K. 90K miles with dual cab, 6ft bed, and everything is mint.

I wouldn't pay anymore than 5k for that truck desu famalam

Same truck in my area goes for 8K with 150,000 miles on it typically. Trucks are not cheap around Houston, especially ones that are in excellent condition and with little mileage on it. Nobody goes by KBB values anyhow.
Appreciate the concern, but I've done my research.

When I was doing Mechanical Failure Inspections I ran across a lot of them that had bad cam bearings that in turn caused low oil pressure due to excess clearances on those later model years. What was left of the cam bearings in the affected engines looked and felt like sharkskin.

Tell me about it. Houston is shit.
>>16140530
Wanted to know this since it would seem like a good idea to ahve an aftermarket pump installed.
