2004 express van ???
Hello, I don't post often but I am looking at getting an 04 express van with a 4.3L v6 the van has 150kms on it (about 80K miles)
Just wondering what to look out for.
It will be used for a shop truck light duty deliveries.
Thanks in advance.

The distributor gear does wear out on 4.3's. DO NOT buy the cheapie replacement at discount auto stores. I opted for a replacement distributor as the top of the distributor was a little sloppy too. It's a known issue and if yours has not been replaced yet you may be about due. No big deal really.
If you do encounter this issue and don't address it you could get a misfire condition, and left unaddressed it could wreak havoc with the catalytic convertor. (extreme, but it can happen).
Overall, I am quite happy with my V6.
