The 2002 S10 was 100% stock and had 2,700 miles on it when I purchased it off of Ebay in Febuary
of 2003. I drove it until I had purchased all of the components needed to actually get the engine and transmission
setting between the frame rails(engine,transmission,accessories,radiator,cooling fans). On May 20,2003, I backed
the truck into the garage under the power of the 4 cylinder engine for the last time . It had 9,048 miles on the odometer(still
under the factory warranty). It took a total of 4 months to complete the project . I could have completed in 2 months
but it took longer due to taking pictures and writing the manual along the way .On August 28th ,I drove it out of the
garage for the first time with an Ls1 under the hood. I had a few bugs to work out (which is usual) for the first couple of
days but they were soon worked out. I drove the truck everyday for 6 months until I sold it Febuary
of 2004. I never had the first problem out of the install and it got 26 mpg on the highway !!!!! Not bad for a
345hp truck !
Here are some of the things that made this truck unique.
