Sorry to see the 1st gen go, but at least you snagged the holy grail of 12v trucks--hope it treats you well.

You'll like that truck a lot. Make sure you take care of the KDP and the 5th gear nut. And put a DSS on it before the steering box wears out.

I got the 98 for $11k.

I already like the truck a lot and plan on getting the kdp fixed asap. The 5th gear nut will have to wait till i pull the tranny to put in a new clutch. What is DSS? O and i now know why the first mod should be a 3k or 4k gsk.

Keep all discussion of selling/buying the '92 in the classifieds or the PM system.

Yeah, the GSK's really wake 'em up. A lot less nervous factor involved in the install than on a 1st gen IMO.

Before you spend the money on a GSK, do a little poking around for info on the poorboy GSK - you just add a couple flat washers and it acts like a 3k kit on most of the pumps. I did it to a kid's truck and it worked great.
