Greetings from St. Louis

Honestly, aside from a new paint job (love the idea of a black blazer), a nice set of bigger all terrains, and maybe new wheels (same stock size though), I'd love to just leave it as is. I've seen friends and family drive this same model for-e-v-e-r. My uncle in South Dakota has a K10 that he bought brand new, and has had it ever since. 340k miles and it's only ever needed real minimal stuff done along the way (belts, ball joints, etc..) transmission, 4wheel, and engine all still run like a top. But he's always taken real good care of it.
Thanks a lot!
Gah.. Don't get me started on this thing lol.. It slides and tilts no problem... nothing wrong with the gears, tracks, they're all actually pretty immaculate, but I think my truck has some...... electrical quirks. I remember one week here in StL a month or so ago, it was raining pretty nonstop for like... freaking three days or something.. The night of the third day I was out taking my cousin up to his pool league, and came back. Went to bed, woke up the next morning and was standing there smoking a cigarette, and notice the damn thing wide open. Jaw dropped, I walk out there, prepared for flooded floorboards, and I notice that it's not really wet at all.. a little damp but.. It had just stopped raining like... a few hours before I woke up.. and it wasn't even wet enough in there for that.. I dunno..
I think the auto-close feature got tripped somehow after I had locked it.. I' may never no
Anywho, sorry for the novel, but I've only had it a couple months and I can tell you all the little quirks I've noticed

Thanks for all the welcomes!
Here are some quirks that I've noticed..
1.) Passenger Wiper will literally "hover" at highway speeds. I can get a video later.
2.) (i've read on the forum about this one.. apparently it's fairly common) My gas gauge when it gets to 1/4 tank acts nuts! It jumps like crazy! I have a video of it that I can post later.
3.) The CD player doesn't always work right away when starting the car. Have to wait for a while.. It will just throw an "err" and spit out the CD.. also will randomly cut out one side of the truck. So far only front speakers have been working. This is an easy-ish fix though. I already plan on a new head unit and speakers. I'll check wiring when I do that.
I can list more, but I feel maybe I'm stretching this welcome thread a bit..
