2 Sweet Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Quick search on s10forum didn't find me anything. Could you get a 2nd gen ('94+ ) S10 or Sonoma with the 4.3 Vortec AND a 5-speed? I've only seen a couple that had the V6 with a manual, and they were '94 or '95 with the 4.3 TBI, not the Vortec engine. I've been looking at some late 90's S10 and Sonomas, and everything with a 4.3 is an automatic. WHY? Shit pisses me off... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 614Streets Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yes they were made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Yes they were made. Good, although they gotta be pretty rare. I've been looking everywhere and have yet to come across one for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbird Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 People are ghey like thatttt! I've been looking for a early '00's Ranger with a 4.0 V6 4x4 and manual and it's like they almost didn't exist. You would think people wanting a truck would want manual...but noooo...or maybe I should stop drunk posting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 OK, I did more research, and they are indeed out there, just pretty rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 I've been looking for a early '00's Ranger with a 4.0 V6 4x4 and manual There's your first mistake. I wouldn't waste your money on a ranger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 try to stop on hill with a loaded trailer and a stick sometime and then ask yourself again why most trucks have an auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Sticks are very rare on the 4.3 vortec, I wanted one so bad. Got the auto anyway, and it was still a really nice truck. Had to give it up for the Camaro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd love to find an Xtreme or a ZQ8 with a 4.3 and 5-speed for a decent price locally, but theres virtually no chance of that happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Whats wrong with having a stick in a mini truck? If I had a fullsize truck that I used to haul shit then ok, but a little S10 with a manual is fun as hell. want to buy an 01 with 85K miles? Not really. If it's a ZQ8 with a 4.3 then I'd consider it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
