Question:
I was driving about 80 miles an hour and my truck back fired bad, then every thing went dead. It won't restart and my step dad said its the timing belt. that it skiped time or lost time or did something with time. It's a 91 chevy blazer 4.3 liter, 4wheel drive. every place I call they quote me like $500.00 is there any other thing that could be wrong that will be cheaper? or is there a cheper way of getting this timing thing fixed?
