I wish i had $500 laying around if the 5.3s are selling for that. My poor little Blazer would love to have one in it. hehehe

The truck sounds like a good deal if the price is right. Go for it, you wont be disapointed, especialy once you start moding it and get into a few stop light races.

Thanks, I did not think of that. What is the RPO for the 3.42 and 3.73 gears? What about the posi, or should I search already.

4x4 should either have gt4=3.73 or gt5=4.10. locking differential is g80. i'd recomend the gt5.

If the 5.3 is a good runner, 52k miles, what is it worth?
Also, with that mileage, 4.10's g80 should be around 17-18 at a dealer. A year ago, mine stickered for 19 with the above options and 41k miles.

It is an LS, GT5 G80 with buckets. Way less than 19k I like the depressed used car market around here.
