It's been sub 20s here. Today is going to finally warm up. Congrats on the truck. What size motor did ya get? I know it's too late, but I vote for the 6.6 Duramax diesel. Congrats again

Um, dude.... they don't put a duramax in a mid-size truck. She said the got a Colorado... which was the replacement for the S-10. It has a 3.5l inline 5 cylinder.

I was gonna put the 4 cyl too, but since hers was the Z71 I figured they got the "BIG" motor :)

Sucks that its so cold down there. I was down in Brownwood / Austin for Thanksgiving and it was hotter than heck (80F). This PNW weather has really worn away my temperature tolerance. I guess that's what trips home to Connecticut and deployments to Iraq/Afghanistan are for.....

The 5-cyl is a good motor though...lots of power for it's size. When are you going to do the solid axle conversion, Kris? ;)

when i see pigs fly and they go MOOO!! :D

Cool. Those are cool little trucks. Not too bad priced either. I think the 5cyl is a little torque-less, but thats just me. Good score Kris.

[ladywolf]

its perfect for what i want. i now have my 4x4 truck thats actually affordable. plus its a blast to drive:)

[jmowens]

You'll love the 5 cyl. My wife has an H3 (based on the Colorado, with the same motor). It's not the fastest thing in the world, but really torquey, and strong throughout the powerband. It really seems to be a good compromise of power and fuel efficiency.

i know threads are worthless w/out pics, so here ya go:
