94 z71 opinions

#1

looking at buying a 1994 z71 with a 305 engine, 4x4, body in excellent
shape, 122,000 kms, forgive me if any of those are redundant for a z71, i
dont know what it stands for, does anyone have an opinion on this truck, bad
tranny, motor too small vs the 350, etc, tia wally

13,555 Km's per year I would be scheptical, seems like an unusually low
number, unless of course you are sure of the mileage.

I had a 94 and a 95, both with the 350. Could not tell you about the
difference with the 305 but the 350 was getting _almost_ the same
mileage than my previous S15 with a 4.3l

I know about something though, the '95, for some obscure reason did not
have the locking rear diff (posi-traction) and it made a hell of a
difference in snow driving, traction AND braking was poorer so I suggest
that you check if it has this option. I don't remember the RPO code as
it appears in the glove compartment but make a search on that, it is
worth it.

Good trucks by the way, but then again, I'm biased ¦¬D

G80 should be the code you are looking for in the glove box for the limited
slip rear.
