Hi folks,
My family has recently purchased a 96 and 97 S-10 Blazer, and a 97 Jimmy. I've noticed that both the 97 Blazer and 97 Jimmy accelerate faster than the 96 (all have the same engine size--4.3, and rear--3.42). I had assumed that there was a problem with our particular 96, so I test drove several other 96's and 97's (all w/ 3.42) at the Chevy dealer and came to the same conclusion--the 97's seem to be faster.
Has anyone else found this to be true?
Can anyone tell me what improvements were made to the 97's to give them a little more 'punch.'
Thanks,
Joe.
