Frank's new ride

[fstroupe]

Well, new to me anyway...my dad pretty much didn't drive it anymore and gave it to me.

1993 S-10, 117,xxx miles, 4-banger, auto, A/C. Needs a little work, but nothing I can't handle.

Looks like it's in great shape! Like the two-tone.

nice nice, 4-cyl should help save a bit on gas too 8)

Actually, it has never gotten very good mileage. Not enough engine for an automatic transmission.

I guess it gets in the low 20's hwy. Hell, my V6 minivan gets better.

My Nissan is the 4 banger with the manual. Trucks never get good gas mileage because they are geared to tow stuff, even the I-4s. I get around 24 city\ 26 hwy thanks to the manual. My V8 mustang got that though, I saw as high as 27 on the highway, lets here it for performance mods.

Excellent looking truck. Looks like it was taken care of.

Yeah, it was pretty much taken care of...a few dings in the paint, a scratch here and there...the clearcoat is kind of dull (I doubt if it had ever been waxed, and probably hadn't been washed in years...needs some interior work (seatcovers and a paint touchup on the glove compartment door)...but thats about it.

Only real repair needed is there is a pretty bad exhaust manifold leak, probably due to the cat converter being stopped up for about 10,000 miles. I can't tell if it is gasket or crack...though I suspect crack. The manifold is effectively hidden by the A/C compressor...and I am scared to screw with it much...hate to lose some of that liquid gold R-12. :lol:

This is my second S-10. Now...once again...starts the dreams of a V8. :twisted:

hehe yeah just drop a 350 in there, no worries.
