If the motor mounts are wearing out, you'll get a slight shake like this.

An interesting post, as it reveals the essential truth about the 4.3L V-6. It is an extremely durable engine, but it is about as unsmooth as it is durable.quote:

Seriously, most V-6's shake unless they have a split-journal even-fire crank (78+ GM 3.8) or balance shafts. A V-8 with a 90* block will fire evenly but a V-6 needs a 60* block. Most V-6's are 3/4 of a V-8, including the GM 4.3.
