I don't know im a sucker for older looking trucks :humm:

Yes. I wish I had a five speed so bad.so much more fun

I would keep the second gen you already know what you have new truck = new can of worms

Or a new bag of goodies :jump:

Preference. I'd rather have a 1st gen than a 2nd. Fewer known issues with a 1st gen.

Either one needs constant tinkering, but the first gen is easier to tinker on.
Parts for the first gen are kind of a PITA to find, though. :w2:

Mark.

i like them both!!!!:tu:

If you can't choose between one or the other, how about a combination of the 2?
Maybe this little guy below with a P-7100 12 valve and say a 5 speed?
Or maybe a 6 speed and Common Rail?
