I love that its really the only thing I would have spent that much money on, just for a project truck. I love that first gear is a granny gear, and that I just cannot get the hang of driving it like that, haha.

But, the thing I like most about is the shake that it does when I turn it off.

how much was the cobalt turbo is it a good replacment what about a sti turbo id like to do a turbo upgrade on mine to try to cut down on the smoke and ofcoarse more power:c:

Say what? The Cobalt and STi turbos are MUCH too small for the truck. My other car is a Cobalt SS turbo (not sure if you were looking at my sig?). If you want a good cheap replacement, the HE351 is a good replacement, or the HX40, or if you have some money to spend, a 62/65/12 would be a good one too. Look around in the forums here, and you will pick up on what is a good turbo for your needs.

1993firstgennewbie 04-01-2010 04:30 PM

o lol i thought you said you put a 2008 ss turbo on lol:c:

mkriebs 04-01-2010 04:32 PM

Haha, no no! That turbo is teeny tiny!!

1993firstgennewbie 04-01-2010 04:59 PM

cant say ive ever seen one but these 1st gen turbos seem pretty tiny to

mkriebs 04-01-2010 05:02 PM

Well, the first gen turbo is something like a 54mm, I believe, and when i had the BIG turbo (not stock) on the Cobalt, it was a 55mm. I think the stock one is like a 40 something mm. Only flows up to like 38lbs/min.

redwood logger 04-01-2010 06:09 PM

I luv the fact that the guys driving by in their 50,000 dollar trucks are rubber necking at my old 93 and I luv not having that big payment they make every month!

The early non-intercooled 1st Gens had the baby H1c w/54mm compressor. 91.5-93 came with a 56mm impeller, stock. It's well matched to the stock setup, no more.

Of course that's the way they designed it - perfectly suited to run well as advertised, right off the assembly line. :w2:

1stGen1990 04-01-2010 09:33 PM

I love how tough they are and simple to work on

hickracetruck 04-01-2010 10:37 PM

I may have just got mine sunday, but i love how i TOUCH the ignition it starts, with no key of course, I love how it has 650,000km on it and still runs like a champ, I love how i pop the hood to my ricer cousin and he said "wheres the wiring? How the f*ck does it run?", I love how the whole truck shakes on shutdown, I love how it looks, I love how its paid for and my dad is still making payments on his cummins, I Love how i can smoke out any lowered ricer i can find :yeah:, I love how it sounds when your shiftin gears, Throttle on!, I Love that fact that the motor is the only thing under the hood, I love how simple the truck is, I will love everyones look when i start driving it to school rollin the coal :101010:, I will love how all the girls will want rides in the "big truck", I love how i can make 100hp for so little money and run faster than a car 1/3 of my trucks weight, I love how it chugs along and bounces and rattles. I think that does it for me.

boomerjosh 04-27-2010 11:04 AM

TTipsword 05-06-2010 03:55 PM

mkriebs 05-06-2010 07:44 PM

I like the fact that I am pretty much building mine from the ground up right now.

93cumminsmule 07-02-2010 02:25 AM

we have 3 cummins trucks. mine a 93 2wd 250 10ft flatbed, dads 04 3500 edge 6spd 4x4 grandpas 77 250 4x4 cummins, all 93 cept the body and frame minus the hood...77hood wouldnt clear. the ride sucks in the first gens but with enough weight they ride fine haha. they pull anything you hook to em, the smoke from my "custom" 8in stack when i take off loaded from a stop sign, the abilaty to start at 20 below without cranking and cranking, the never ending reliabilaty, the looks everyone gives ya, the sound....everything is great about them..not one bad thing...the best part is the 250mph power windows hahaha:choochoo:

BIGREDGOAT 07-02-2010 01:17 PM

i love how anyone can work on it, there isnt much computer bull shit, how day in and day out, it still starts and runs better than other trucks, how it doesnt mind cold weather, how fun they are to work on, oh and finally how hot my girlfriend looks driving it =) :tu:

hemislave 07-02-2010 09:17 PM

spoolinaround 07-05-2010 01:44 PM

I like how you can keep a spare gallon of coolant and a quart of brake fluid, power steering fluid and trans fluid in the fenderwell next to the battery and still have room to put more spare stuff:jump:

itsjustalittleole6cylynde 07-10-2010 07:35 PM

KD93 07-13-2010 07:00 AM

What isn't to love? :D

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

So, I've been thinking about this and thought my previous reply ^^^^ needed something else, a little more meat if you will. So here's what I love about my truck.
i. It's paid for.
ii. It's easy to work on.
iii. I don't need a computer or EST in order to diagnose... or to fix.
iv. There's loads of space for extra junk in my engine bay!:jump:
v. There is nothing like it on the road down here. In other parts of the country there may be a good smattering, but not here. So, it's unique.
vi. It's reliable. It's never once let me down. Some things have broken, but not without warning first.
vii. It's mine! :tu:

SFC Diesel 07-13-2010 09:12 AM

FIRST GEN. JAKE 07-15-2010 01:31 PM

5. i spend all my money on it with the statisfaction that it will never leave me like a girlfriend will.:argh:

bnorth 07-25-2010 03:51 PM

I have always loved the looks of the IC trucks. But more than anything I love the looks on the guys faces with newer trucks when you pass them or take them for a rip in the ol buckboard. Best quote yet "This thing just fucks right off eh"

unixcowboy 07-26-2010 02:09 PM

Tire thumpers are somewhat of a discourager -

But you should see 'em run when I pull out a solid oak axe handle - 39" of 'ouch' :rocking:
