I am already gathering a list of mods that I want to do to my truck. But, unlike my S-10 or Silverado, when I go get chrome wheels for my truck, it will cost me a whopping $8 bucks!!! :lol: Then you'll need new tires, which are $40 from Tower Hobbies. Since those will be slighly larger, you'll need...

When I towed with my S-10, I always used 3rd gear. But the brakes are what I always worried about. They will heat up VERY quick! I could smell mine burning on several occasions when some idiot would pull out in front of me or when I was the idiot and didn't allow plenty of stopping distance. :!: All...

I finally got my truck in the mail and played with it for a little while. It's pretty cool! I would recommend it to anyone wanting to start out in the hobby. It is pretty fast right out of the box but has a ton of hop ups that can be done. At just a 1:18 scale, it's not the largest truck out there, ...

That's the kind that I have. They are called modulars. As far as I know, they are safe. Only, you have to watch how the font portion locks down. Some are made cheaply and may come open on impact. I don't open mine in traffic though. Just flip the sheild up. But you will appreciate this F9K9, one of ...

I just got a full face modular helmet last month. I like it pretty well. Although it is a bit heavier and hotter than my 1/2 helmet, I just "feel" so much safer and more confident about surviving a spill. And it cuts down on the wind noise a bunch when I'm traveling at higher speeds. I know that thi...

I'd like to get into modding my bike but at 250cc, I think it's probably a moot idea!

I've always just used some Mean Green or Simple Green in a spray bottle. Spray it on while the engine is warm but not hot, let it sit for a couple minutes, take a scrub brush to the stubborn spots and then start the vehicle and spray the engine off with clean water. Of course you have to be careful ...

Back To Black is a pretty good product. Just be sure to really buff off the excess as per Mother's instructions. It can leave streaks down the paint after a rain if used on the door handles and such.

:clap: And yet ANOTHER goes full size! Don't get me wrong, though!!! I still have an eye for the S-10 Crew Cab. I have very fond memories of mine and admittedly get kinda "gitty" when I see it on the road. But I wouldn't go back to one after now owning a full size crew. Cool truck, Jeggers! Congrats!

I think they could have gone with a more aggresive design like they have in the '06 (mine

Follow your owners manual recommendations. Tow/haul mode increases pressure and raises the shift points. Much the same as what the HPPIII does.

Hey. Quick trailering question with this truck. I have a button for trailering. When it's engaged, the tranny stays in 1st & 2nd gears ALOT longer. Do I still need to be in "3" when I'm towing?????? I know this is an S-10/Sonoma site but I thought someone might have some idea.

And another reason to buy chrome? Somehow they don't seem to collect as much brake dust as other wheels. But maybe that's just my imagination???
