Re: My version of the s10 swap

Thanks all! We did have a fantastic time. Total miles were right around 3000 for the week, truck ran great and averaged about 22mpg with no issues. Oil is still clean and right at the top of the marks (which is better than my DOD 5.3 in the suburban that uses oil like a MOFO when it drops cylinders). Kiddos had a great time, and when asked the best part of the trip was the hotel pools. Definitely a good event and a great adventure!

Kansas speedway, the end of the "official" tour and only 3 hours from home.


I did underestimate the work involved in keeping whitewalls white:
