I had teh 4.3L in my '95 Jimmy.

http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/jimmy_sm.jpg

(That's the for sale picture I took.)

Except for the idiotic design on the fuel injectors in my particular year
(which were replaced three times in six years/150K miles), the engine was
rock solid. I don't remember the redline on it but I rarely needed to reach
there.

It was probably the most trouble-fee engine I've had (outside of the
injector spider). The only reason I got rid of it was because I wanted more
seating and ended up with a minivan.

So far, my 5.3L V8 on the Avalanche is also doing quite well. I've only got
40K miles in a little over two years, but it hasn't had one issue.

Of course, I learned from my mechanic grandfather to always change fluids at
a regular interval and to never have too many of the grain-based fluids
while doing said engine fluid changes. :P

Maybe you missed the part where I said it blew if the engine revved past
6,000 rpm. If you never wound your engine, no problem.

Isn't that why they put the little red line there - so you won't go past it?

IIRC, I did reach there a few times. Particularly when I got my injectors
fixed. I was supposed to blow out extra carbon deposits after pouring in
some SeaFoam.

No - he probably did not miss that part. More likely he chose to ignore it
because it is foolish - like everything else you've posted. There is no
need to take the engine above it's red-line, so your point is moot. Unlike
Japanese engines, GM engines build more torque at lower RPM's and there is
no need to rev that high.

Yeah, well, since the tach only went to 6,000 rpm, and there's this
big-assed red line from about 5500 rpm up, I'd say, "no." I did not go
past it.

Anyone who does deserves what they get.

Yeah, my Maxima wouldn't even come alive until about 4500 rpm. The Jimmy
rarely got above 3000 rpm, even when accelerating uphill onto the freeway.

IIRC, the Maxima redlined at 8000 rpm, and didn't even flinch until 6500
rpm. Of course it was a dual-overhead cam engine, compared to the
single-cam 4.3L.
