I love owning a truck

Friday night I got my baby (99 Chevy Blazer LS) back from the shop. She is alive kicking and now fully (we hope) repaired. After months of fighting with a P0300 repair code that is a misc cylinder misfire, with attempted repairs including o2 sensors, 2 sets of plugs and wires and the list goes on.. she is home from a 2 day diagnostic. I now know that she was operating on the factory fuel filter.

You know there are just things you can do in a truck that you would never do in a car...

Take for example yesterday at the Big E homecoming... parking was AWFUL! As I was trying to leave traffic was not moving, not one inch. But across from me there was a field type area with large mud puddles, rocks, and grass... this 'field' then connected to the road.... I sat and pondered for a moment and at last decided I should drive thru it, and drive thru I did. Bumpy yes, would I do this in a car, no. But what a sense of accomplishment and freedom that I got. I went off roading on base. I love my truck!
