You guys remember elementary school math with the < and > where the alligator eats the better one? At least that's how it was explained to me, anywho!

S-10 4.3 > Ranger 4.0
S-10 4.3 < Dakota 3.9 and up
Dakota R/T < Ford Lightning

I don't like the lightning thing anymore than you guys but let's face it, facts are facts.

I don't want to say it but all thing being equal.

Dak 3.9 < 4.3 S10

The 3.9 Dak is heavier and produces 175HP. The S-10 is lighter and produces 180-190HP. They can be quick.

However

S-10 < Dak 4.7,5.2,5.9.

Speaking of that darn 4.3, be careful of those guys with it and not being the extreme. X-whatever is nothing but an exterior pkg anyway. My buddy just bought a 98 GMC ext cab 3.43, 4.3, open rear, and it can more quite quickly. If it wasn't for the fact that my truck weights 4500 and sits a lot taller than his, I'd give him good kick in the arce.

extreme = extreme waste of money! I traded my 98 s-10 for the 01 dak 4.7
my only competition is my pesky brother-in-laws toyota S-runner!

raced the other day and dak 4.7 = S-runner 3.9!

(lightning is excluded from the equation cause dakota is not a fullsize pickup!)

Those S runners are damn quick. A 3.9 wILL NOT touch a 4.3 S10. A 4.3 reg cab 2wd S10 with 3.42 rear is a quick truck, quick enough to hold their own with CC V8 Daks.I have a 01 S10 4.3 reg cab with exhaust and traction bars. The S runner is as quick as a RC RT...15.1 at 91 1/4 mile!A 4.0 ranger wont touch a 4.3 S10. A 5.3 Silverado would be close for a v8 Dak. Just my opinions

Brian D, are you saying a 2wd s-10 with 3.42 rear can hold its own against a cc dak that is 2wd and v8? If so, well...........lets just say your either uninformed or havent driven both. I have a 93 4x4 dakota with a tired motor and auto tranny and raced a 2wd s-10 tuesday night. I was speeding and he came flying past me so I caught up and we were next to each other at the next light. He had exhaust and it was dropped. I must admit it sounded good so I assume it was the 4.3 so I said what the heck. I killed him off the line and he never caught up.

dude a 4.3 rc s-10 w/ 3.42 gears is a dog! My
brother smoked one in his s-runner, and I was
in the truck with him, adding another 200lbs.

There are about 6 punk kids that live close to
me with slammed 4.3 s-10's, compared to my
dak, they arent sh!t. I traded in my 98 s-10 for
my dak for one reason and one reason
only...POWER!

As soon as the s-10's are offered with the new
i6 4.2, then there might be some comp, still,
the 4.2 lacks in the torque department in a
major way.

Dude you got to do more than just a K&N to make that S-10 run 13.9. To me that sounds like a load of crap.

Let me inform you on some stuff. What are your specs? It seems like you have just a 3.9 V6, lmfao. If he is running with a programmer, 2 chips, exhaust, intake, throttle body spacer, electric fan/thermostat, and a short belt with no juice compared to yours which seems to be a basically stock 318 the way you talk, he will beat your ass, lol. But, then again if you have a 318, it will be interesting. An s10 extreme or an s10 with a 4.3 will beat any freaking dakota with a 3.9. I have an s10 with a 2.2 and I have beat plenty of 3.9's :)

I think your all full of Shi@. A 4.3 liter S-10 stock will blow the doors off of a stock V-6 Dakota.I know because I had a S-10 v-6 before I bought my Dakota & I beat pleany of V-6 Dakota's. As a matter of fact I'm gettin rid of my V-6 Dakota in the Spring of 2003 & gettin a disiel because the V-6 Dakota doesn't have any balls. Plus it eats gas like a V-8. And a disiel has a hell of alot more torque & you can do a heck of alot more mods to a disiel.

Whoever said the 4.2I Chevy lacks in the torque department needs to have their bolts tightened. Check the numbers on that engine again. (I'm talking to D I suppose).

HP=275
TQ=275

Sure that's low compared to a 4.7L or a 5.9L Mopar, but it's missing two cylinders dude...

wow, you were slow to catch that one...
december of 2001, why bring up old posts?
whats your point? the 180HP 4.3 puts out
almost 250 ft/lbs torque, and that has 6
cylinders.

I only brought it up and looked at the date after I posted. Didn't expect someone to bring up a million year old post (OK, only 1 year).
