I am 39 and just getting into the game. I know its kind of late but maybe you young guys can teach an old guy some stuff. I hope.LOL.
I do hvac work (sheet metal).
I have an 01 s10 zq8 4.3 auto all stock besides better tires. I will post a pick when I figure out how. LOL.
My other toy is a 92 susuki lt 250r.
Most of my time the last couple years has been remodeling a house, well still have more to do but I figured I wanted to learn and do more with my truck. Kind of getting tired of the house thing.
I was going to get a new truck and start from scratch but as you know they dont make s10's anymore and I dont like the looks of any of the new trucks out right now. So here I am to learn from the kids.LOL, and maybe give you some of my wisdom I am pretty mechanicaly inclined. I do or used to work on cars(muscle cars) pre computer. I tinker with 2 stroke motors and quads and I gan weld and fab up a few things if I have to.
Looking forward to being on your site and learning what I can.
Thank you for letting me join.

Doug.

Welcome to the site. You could use photobucket or something similar to post pictures.

Welcome to the Planet!

There's a few of us "seasoned" guys here so make yourself at home.

Sparky says seasoned, I still say old. If you go to the gallery at the top of the page you can upload pictures directly from your computer. Whatever you want to know bout your ZQ8, you can pretty much pick it up here. There are a bunch of free and cheep mods that you can do to get better throttle response, and get better mileage. JUst be careful, it starts out cheep, then next thing you know you are balls deep in a 383 stroker build with a half painted truck wondering "how exactly did I get here?"
