well as some of you know i blew the motor in my "ugly lil truck" well i had planned on having to replace it anyway as i was the 3rd owner of the truck with the motor in it and one of the owners was a 16 year old. well it went out about 2 seasons before i really wanted it to(summer would of been much better its way to cold in winter). well i found one in a small town around here and thanks to an amazing christmas present from my family i got a very good engine with a very good warrinty well here are some of the pics of the replacement

Are you going to download them into the gallery? The pictures definitley help when your not 100% sure where things were. Expecially if there are long breaks between working on the truck.

About the Ford's...Be supportive. At least you have a Chevy to pick them up from the repair shop when their Fords break down.

Also a warning your wife will give you a hard time for having a s10, as you can ask anyone these thing are addicting and wives tend to get jealous. Just a fair warning lol
