Want a TB....
any advice to give on getting a used TB? are the I-6 engines pretty peppy? i know they are aroung 275hp but didnt know how well it moved around the hefty TB body. are there many aftermarket parts available?

Re: Want a TB....
I have had my 04 for two trouble free years. 45k mile. The l-6 has plenty of power and runs smooth and quiet. 18mpg city / 23 highway

Re: Want a TB....
Smoothness, ease of basic maintenance and under-hood purdyness
 are the plusses of the 4.2L I6 IMO. Power feel and towing is good, but she's no tire smoker with GM's software and gearing. MPG wise? May as well get a V8. TB's are a great used buy. There's a zillion of them on the road.Joel
