    Eh...I am not racing. Just asking for the power to be there and happen when I ask for it.

    S10 I have now does 0-60 in 7.6 sec, the i4 is in 9.2.

    Simple to work on it always a plus. Chevy seems to always try to keep that in mind.

    Dealer wants 11.9k for it. Crew cab, dark blue, low miles one owner and clean record...

    Anyways. Going to go test drive it today. My mechanic hates/loves Chevy trucks. He said they don't pay the bills like a Ford does. :p

    I think you'll be fine. The TechIV "Iron Duke" was 1950s technology anyways, throttle body fuel injection, etc. The newer engine should be more powerful.

    Fell through... It was beat to hell and back, dealer refused to work with me on price or fix anything.

    Engine rust, two door locks didn't work, one window, tires were barely legal, several non-nature made dents and bumps, previous owner missed his trailer ball and scraped up the bumper badly, trim was coming off and more.

    I saw the sign for that as I was heading up here.

    I thought I remembered correctly that this was a TravelPort. Guess I'm not so brain dead after all. :D

    @Cranky Yankee, we're taking about 130(total deadhead 246) miles of US and state roads to Buffalo, NY from Pennsylvania. Real proud of us ? Even though we're bobtail.....I'm proud of myself. :angel13:

    Got a room booked at the La Quinta. Will try to get a rental car to go visit Niagara Falls.
