2013年6月3日 · The 3.0L Vulcan also saw duty in the Ranger, and has had an industrial use variant since 1995. The GM 4.3L is a great engine, but some versions like the 1992-1995 CPI version had a weird poor-man’s pseudo multi-port fuel injection setup, that wasn’t as reliable as the earlier TBI or later MPFI variants.
