I had the local Napa chain engine rebuild shop do a complete rebuild of the 4.3L. Over size pistons, new cam, lifters, new valves, new valve springs, new everything. Do the job right. 1st engine, siezed. They used to long a bolt in the oil pump and pushed the main bearing into the crank. 2nd engine.Noisy and full of filings. They used the ne wstyle cam bearing in the old style block = no lubrication for the balancer shaft. 3rd engine. They missed installing the bushing in the cam timing gear. Turns out the cam was at least 15 degrees adavnced.Spent a lot of time looking for that phantom. Transmission needed a rebuild as it was loosing oil at the torque seal anyways. Plus all the normal stuff like batterys, rad, starter,alternator, brakes everything, exhaust system. My full optioned 2003 Sierra 4x4 has cost 2/3 of the repair money put into last 30,000 miles of that Jimmy. I did a pile of the work myself so shop labour bills are not a majority of the bills.
