Well the time has finally come for me to get my truck and there were like 10 different 4.8L RC I was thinking about but now they're all sold. The only thing I can find as of now is a bunch of 4.3L V6s. Should i get a 4.3L or wait for a 4.8L? If they had a 4.8L RC I could get it today.

 

wait! you'll be kicking yourself later if you don't

 

Abosolutely, positively go for the V8.... unless you already plan on pulling either motor.

 

Get the 4.8... or get a 5.3 if you want auto and if you can find it.

 

wait and get a v8. switching a v6 to a v8 is way to much work and $$,.

 

Definitely wait for the V8, any size.
Or, buy the V6 and swap out the drivetrain with your Dad's ride....6.0L would be nice!

 

go look at the used car lots , there has to be some , used car lots always have silverados for not that much, you can usually get a 99 just like mine for like 8k or sometimes even 6 or 7k, just search good and dsont go to the dealerships , they sell real expensive.

 

when it comes to the V6 in a full size, JUST SAY NO!!!!!!!

 

Funny, I was thinking about doing that. The only reason he won't let me is because it's to major of a project. I just need to wait until he goes out of town again.

 

I don't know where exactly you are in Austin, but I found several that I think are worth looking at on www.autotrader.com:

2000 Red GMC Sierra C/K1500 2WD Regular Cab

2000 Blue GMC Sierra C/K1500 2WD Regular Cab

Both of those are relatively low mileage...red one is a 5.3 (8th place in VIN is a "T",) blue one is a 4.8 (8th place is "V".)

And a Chevy...

2000 Chevrolet Silverado and other C/K1500 2WD Regular Cab
