[Mike 92S10]

Yeah, you just gotta love them old trucks. They are so easy to work on.

[lowriderbowtie]

They are so easy to work on.

isnt that the truth!! its all strait forward and basic...especially with mine being carbureated and no computers.
i love em

First gens kick A$$

[blazen]

easy to work on as long as you get past the rust and the rot. but i still love them

and mines not so easy to work on with the 4.3 everything is computer controled it can be a pain in the ass but i get over it everytime i hit the gas and it goes

[crazy91s10]

i'd take a beat to **** first gen (witha 2.8) that has potential over a sweet second gen. theres just somethin about em that i just LOVE

[blazen]

^^^^agreed to a point^^^^

[lowriderbowtie]

I think GM should bring back the 1st gen s-trucks again! just imagin...a 2005 first gen S10!! that would be sweeet...have it come stock with an Ls1 and 6 speed, 3.73 gears, posi, and LOWERED!! i think im onto something guys...hahaha
i could go all day about the '05 1st gen

[Mike 92S10]

Yaeh, sounds great. GM will never go for it though.

[Minitrucker4lyfe]

Great idea Lowriderbowtie. I would be on the waiting list for that one.

Hey this is great. Yea I agree the 1st Gens have some classic lines. Maybe no 63
Impala SS or split window vette, but most anyone who knows anything about GM
trucks knows what one is. The OBDI system is pretty easy to deal with once you
understand how it works. I'm most always doing something to mine, be it routine
maint or simple upgrades. I had to do a freeze plug behind the starter this last week
and DO NOT want to do one of those again. I'd never had found the very small
leak I had if I wasn't in the process of updating the battery cables and charge
line to free flowing 4 gage wire. Have to drop the starter to get to the cable.

Got nailed on the mug with a fat drop of coolant when I pulled the starter. Truly
a PITA to do but alls well in my old ST..Glad I'm not the only one posting here.
We're an endangered species.

1st gens look and are the BEST!!!

[lower90xcab]

First gens kick A$$

i agree with that!

[<-~Jo~->]

1st gen does kick ass but the 2005 model should comme with an ls2 and an optional supsension power package with a ls7 under the hood 325's out back 265 up front and the optional awd from the Syclone !!!!
