103, 000 miles on the 6 banger.
Well the power steering started whining, found out power steering cooler $130 parts
unless some lines need replacing
Upper and lower rad hose along with thermostat $100 parts
Fuel tank filler tube $60 parts
Oil and filter $50
Air Filter $18
Labor with be at least double that
Plus the new to me painted hood from towing in March $ 0 parts
So I'll be a kept man until next Thursday without a vehicle since the next opening is Wednesday and I'm waiting on Amazon to deliver the Dorman and ACDelco parts

Nope, she was dropping off the cleaning lady while I was in the garden, saw my vehicle coming out, so it's here. I get to pick up her van and wash my truck.
We're both on SS of some sort.

Neither one of thought we'd be together, let alone with anybody.

Pennzoil has $25 rebate on 2 X 5qt synthetic oil. Wally world has it $24/5 qt .( So pay $23 +taxes for 10 quarts X 2) - $25 rebate = $23/10 qt.
That is $2.30/qt for the best oil.
I did same with Mobil 1 last fall, put the big 2 qt oil filter on my old V8 chevy ~ $20 USD with filter I did work.
I'm getting the peznzoil now, still < 3000 miles since last change.
Those 4.3L only take 4.5 quarts........

Is that like a I6-292? Those had forged pistons/crank. I had one in a C10 I stripped emissions off, put a 1-bbl off a 66 on w man choke, got > 20 mpg (12 bolt 3:73 and m20 muncie).
I won't by new $#!t!

This is a DOHC Forget what the 292 was.
GM should have turbo'ed it and put it a certain mid engine car
