Im curious what you think about your ZZ-4, I cant wait to drive mine, I have heard a lot of good things about it but dont personally know anyone who has one. Looks like you have 2 so Im thinking you must be happy with them.
Yes, they work great in all kinds of traffic, and I drive them every day and "night".

They were the greatest thing since slice bread........... but then I discovered the LS platform!!

The ZZ 4 work at any RPM I can drive around in 5th gear at 30 MPH and it does not lug with the 3:73 rear gear, That engine is good at all speeds You will Love it

With the 4L60E the computer tells the engine what gear to be in and that one works the best in the city where I do most of my driving.

They both work great at freeway speeds and get fair gas mileage.

Keep spending time and money on these old trucks and they will last for another 50 years !!
