[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 4369670, member: 34578"] 350 TBI in the 92 and 94, 305 Vortec in the 96 pickup, and 350 Vortec in the rest. The 92 has the 700R4 trans and the rest are all 4l60e. All trans have been rebuilt at least once over the years. (The 88 was bought for parts and has no trans and an engine block full of rain waiter.) The TBI engines are a bit easier to work on, but the Vortec has more HP. The 94 had holes in 2 valves and was only getting compression on 6 cylinders. Still used it to tow the 98 suburban on a dolly just over 100 miles without a problem. Then just recently got the whole block and heads rebuilt for about $3K. The 96 pickup had the MFI "web" melt due to a bad "slinging" unit. It was still running, just dumping the fuel down the block channels..... $1500 fix. It's currently getting the front end replaced with parts off the 98 suburban due to the Ex rear ending someone. Cheap fixes considering the amount of the engine that needed to be torn down in each case. On a newer engine those repairs could easily run $10K or more. And they both just keep running because there was no master computer to complain and tell it it couldn't do it. The 94 K2500 is my favorite out of the lot. And the one I personally drive the most. Edit: Made a correction on the 96 engine size. [/QUOTE]
