He didn’t say they were for him lol. Probably a side hustle delivering grocery’s to support his chrome budget.
You're a trusting soul, parking off by yourself like that. You're just daring some dipwad with a rusty old POS to pull in right beside you and swing a door full-force into the side of that nifty li'l truck.... Ask me how I know.
I can see why you are happy to have it back. My little truck choice was the early Dodge Dakotas. I've had several. I sold one a few years ago, I see its up for sale now. It didn't fare nearly as well as your S10 did, but it wasn't nearly as nice when I sold it either. I won't be buying my old Dakota back.
@Moriarity Is that Radar Blue? Had one that color, people asked me about the color all the time....that's a nice little truck you have.
yup, Radar blue. Thanks man, I love my S10.. People say they got rid of theirs because they weren't fast enough. Mine is a 4cl stick and it is slow but I don't care. It practically makes gasoline!!!
Nothing wrong with the 4 banger, I had a tough time with the under performing the 2.8 v6, it just didn't seem to have a sweet spot nowhere in the rpm range.
4.3 OBD 2 has plenty of power in a S10 / S15 , 1st one had over 250k original engine & auto trains , when sold crashed 2 months later,, when I punched had 100k , I changed oil every 5k Most reliable obd 2 I owned Pre 98 , One alternator change . I have a 4.3 2003 with 285 k auto Dash looks like Pin ball Machine on tilt, Black tape over 4 lights . My OBD1 81k 4.3 all original Garage kept since New ,25 mpg ,It lacks power need about 30-50 hp with L 60 's its getting a 141 roots or Pro charger setting up to have 2psi @ 1,800 rpms with a steady boost leak just to maintain No more then 3 psi to 3,000 rpms , Factory TBI .
Here's my 88. I've had it over 20 years. Was a 4cyl 4spd with AC. Blew up three 4cyl motors, V8 swapped it 700R4 still has AC. It now has a way to radical 350 in it. It's a blast to drive. It now has 5 spoke Americans with black tires.
