Sorry guys, I think I'm having power withdrawals. My dodge had way more power and I think I'm beginning to miss it (not the dodge, just the power). After hearing about people having multiple head gaskets blow, I feel like I'm driving on borrowed time. I'd really hate to spend $3+G's on a motor that I don't like. I don't feel like I have the mechanical know-how to tackle a project that big so I'd have to pay someone to do it.
Because of reliability and ease to work on, I'm thinking about trying to pick up a 1st gen (22re 5 sp.) once my 4runner is paid off. Then I would spend some money on it to make the power a little better. It seems that my vehicles are getting older and older ('95 then my '93 and maybe a 1st gen). I'm really not sure what I'm going to do. I've had a truck payment since I was 16. I'd really love to not have a payment anymore and be able to carry liability insurance. That way I could save a little money. If I did that, I may even have enough for a down payment on a house once I graduate.
Guys, I think I may be beginning to stray. I was talking to my friend who has a Lightning and he was telling me about how he had to get somewhere really fast. I remembered the days when I could just smash the pedal to the floor and be at 100 in no time. I'll admit it, the thought of buying another domestic crossed my mine. I miss the power really bad. :cry:
I'm still undecided as of right now on what I'm going to do. In my previous post I was just stating my opinion just like the rest of you can do. My rig has never ran the same since that horrible head gasket job because of the stupid recall. I know that's not the 3.slow's fault. But because of the recall, it is now like it is.

easy there AG, lets not go about saying things we cannot take back.

I'll stand by everything that I say. This is how I feel about it. It seems that some people are having to replace their motors in the mid 100K miles while others seem to go forever. It seems like a toss-up to me.
Don't get me wrong, I like everything about my truck except for the power and the motor. It's built well, drives well, and looks great.
Alright, that's enough out of my mouth.
