Re: Chevy S10 Baja Discovery

It sounds like a nice truck. The bad thing is the 2.8L V6. It's a good engine, but it's not a truck engine. I had an '86 Jeep Comanche pickup with the 2.8L/ M5 combo and it was gutless. It drove like a sports car compared to my old '69 Firebird but put any kind of weight in it and hit some grades and I had to wind it out in third gear at 45-50 mph. I think the 4.3L V6 that was later installed made all the difference in those trucks. I traded the '86 Jeep Comanche in on my '89 Chev K1500 EC which I still own and post about.
