Re: Why Did GMC Abandon the V6?
Couldn't read the whole article as a block kept popping up wanting me to click onto it, but what the GMC Dealer told me back around '74 or '75 was that the engine with all it's torque was great on the East Coast with all the hills it has but not good on all the flat roads of the West.
Plus, in my opinion, we all know that as great as they are, they are known to be hard on gas and with the gas price hikes in the fall of '73 made it more unpopular to order one.
