Naturally I like it! I think you will find the GMC V-6 makes a great off road engine. Loads of torque at low r.p.m.'s. Correct on the 2 leaf tapered rear springs. The right valve cover does come very close to the firewall. In fact, the shop manual says to put the #6 cylinder on the exhaust stroke before you try to remove it. There is a 'sweet spot', when you find it the valve cover comes right off.

If you don't already know, here is the greatest collection of GMC V-6 experts known to man:

Great truck, good luck with it.
