Basically, i just purchased a silverado has like 28,000 miles on it but idk if this is normal 1-4 gears have great horsepower and get up and go but once i go into 5th gear theres no power, in order to accelerate i have to floor it and even then the rpms hardly move and the speedometer moves very slow.
Let me know if this is normal or maybe a sign of the clutch wearing.
engine is a 4.3 liter v6 btw
Yes it's the smallest engine there is for the truck but it's also the smallest model,
Standard cab, short box.
I am not complaining i just want to know if i should be worried?
In addition to the other comments I'll mention that your truck might have been ordered with a lower than standard rear end. It seems likely since someone who bought a V6 was probably more concerned about mileage than performance. The VIN will tell you. I believe 3.7 was standard but 3.4 and 3.2 were optional
Can you please elaborate on what this means? and how i can look up what came with the truck with the vin number?
Thanks
