I'm just poking fun. But seriously a lot of the first gen bashing is undeserved. What do people expect from an old truck with high miles? You're gonna have to fix things. The thing is once you fix the issues you got the know how and it's far cheaper and easier to fix compared to a new truck. I'd take a square truck over the new trucks any day. At least you didn't put that 12V in a Chevy. To each their own.

My axle wrapping problems as a result of high horsepower levels.

I LOVE the stance of my 1st Gen.
I LOVE the glow off the red dash lights.
I LOVE how it roals coal when i lay into it around a corner.
I LOVE the way i get offered 10G`s for it
The way it growls to life in the morning.
AND I LOVE HOW ITS LIKE A DARN TANK

I love the fact that after over 400,000 miles its still the most reliable vehicle i own and gets 22mpg, but the best part is the fact that my dad bought it brand new in 92 and i know its complete history. (both mechanically and how it helped support my family all those years)

I love how I can click the key and it starts right up everytime, it sounds smooth, I can push that pedal to the floor and beat almost everyone that tries to race me, my truck tows incredible, just all around a bad *** good old pick up truck.

Glad my father didn't adopt that philosophy.
