Default thinking about putting my truck back to stock

i love my truck the way it is but its too hard to keep a nice daily driver around here. between people bumping you in parking lots, rock chips and breaking stuff, i just about have myself convinced to put all of my stock stuff back on my truck. the only things i would have to buy would be shocks, intake tube, stock size tires and transmission lines.

i dont know what to do right now.....help me decide.

Keep it. I know you're discouraged by your tranny woes. It'll get better.

Just try to make it thru. I'm very patient I guess. I've waited a long time to do things as I scrap $ together. It's a long road, but I feel worth it in the end.

This year, by fall, I'll finally see the fruits of my labor.
I only work part time. It's taken me years to acquire some of my parts, along w/. payin it off. No, it's the fastest right now nor will it be.

It'll get from point A-B in a hurry soon, better than now. But it's mine, & long as I'm happy w/. it, that's all that matters.

I'm not into cookie cutters & belly buttons.


Ultimately it's your decision, but I wish u luck whatever way u go.

Are you talking about your '02? If so I don't see a mod list worth returning it back to stock There's nothing in your mod list that would make it a whole heck of a lot less reliable than a stocker. You won't get jack **** out of your parts selling them.

whichever road i choose i will keep my truck and it will still be my DD.

i was thinking if i put it back to stock i will start looking around for an s-10 blazer xtreme to do an ls swap and make it my toy so i dont have to worry about tearing up my DD. idk, this is a tough decision. i know what im thinking is probably the smartest decision though

I'm with HirdleJ, maybe aside from the 3/5 drop I really don't see anything on the mods listed that will make it more reliable. Unless you've got a lot of appearance mods that your worried about.

Ultimately its your decision, but give it lots of thought. I wish I had my heavily modded daily back most days, now I don't have the money to really do it all again. LOL.

Thats what I was thinking, just keep it how it is and throw in a stock 60e with a shift kit...

Stop whining and drive it! Look at my truck, its got dents and dings all over it and more scratches than I can count. It's a truck, it's supposed to have some character to it.
