I'm not a big EV fan, but the S10 is a special vehicle; 1 of 5 running, one of forty in existence is top-tier rare, and it's running gear just makes it even more special. Any actual car enthusiast can appreciate how cool that little truck is. So glad to see that all it needed was a ton of charging to get everything to wake up. Can't wait for the lithium cell upgrade.
the crazy part is that electric vehicles were bigger than petrol cars when cars first started out. had EVs not been actively blocked by oil and rubber companies over 100 years ago, can you imagine what kind of EVs we'd have? in terms of development, a modern EV would be the age equivalent of a petrol car from the 1940s. so, put a tesla plaid against ANYTHING petrol burning from the 40s. literally, that's how little development has been able to be done on large scale. when capitalism actually slows progress. it's an odd thing to think about.
You guys had a lot of fun with this one. Great to see Travis on the channel again. You’ve got the best friends Jared. Keep up with the Questionable choices.👍
Man everyone is having too much fun in this video! Just a couple of (extremely knowledgeable) dudes, chillin’ and hanging out captured on camera with yet another stellar editing by our favorite editor. Finally stoked to see a piece of automotive history revived with that S10. Such a super cool little truck to have, especially for quick runs to home depot and autozone. That 1UZ came out amazing with that paintjob too.
After seeing the full episode the constant jokes after your Lemans start was hilarious. Also having a bunch of other dudes helping wrench on projects is a such a vibe! You’ve surrounded yourself with knowledge and legends with these guys! Also I’m super stoked the S-10 after a charge has decided to behave itself! Awesome video and even more awesome people!
Thanks for this content, Jared! My dad worked at GM and was part of the EV1 project, i had all the new car booklets they provided and key chains etc...of course, i was a kid in the 90s, and all that good stuff is gone. This brings some nostalgia to me and I'm sending your video to him to check it out!
Not sure which was funnier, the actual LeMans start, or the recreation. As a fellow 40-ish year old bigger guy this made me realize it has been longer than I would like to admit since I ran anywhere, so I doubt I could do any better than either of you.
I'm a mechanic for GM. After your last video on this truck I got curious and went to look on Service Information to see what information is available. There is nothing on there. It's like they have tried to erase the fact that it existed...
Another great episode of mechanical insanity mixed with unique characters and "Questionable" automotive choices. It is pretty cool that the S-10 did come to life and reached it's "normal state of charge". The engine swap was typical as you always find things that you need to modify while you are doing the swap. Part 2 will hopefully get the swap done. The adventure of driving the Electric S-10 for distance should be interesting. I am still anticipating the Drift Car's next installment and looking forward to it's progress. This channel has lots of exciting content coming. Thanks for keeping it real and interesting.
If your Tech II wigs out on you, try moving the power connector from the OBD connector to the hand piece or vice versa. I've seen several of them be fussy!
I didn’t know there were that many chargers left in existence tbh😅 I can’t believe how tight that 1uz is. I did an LS into my ‘86 S10 and thought that was tight.
I laughed pretty hard watching the intro! Just starting the episode but this is sure to be another banger! I’m excited to see the “trucktorossa” come out to play and see the improvements you’ve made on the S-10! Keep up the amazing work Jared! Thanks for all the great content!
That looked like fun. Glad to see the limo finally coming back too. Got some serious rust issues of my own to deal with. Need a little schooling Jared.
Glad to hear that the S10 is going. The Ferrari should be fun when it gets done. Man I could have used a team and shop like that this week. Doing a V8 into a Ranger. Started Saturday. Was hpoing to have the donor stripped out by Monday and starting to strip the Ranger, and everything beck together by next Sunday. Just got the donor stripped out today, can;t work on it tomorrow, and it isn't looking promising for finishing by Sunday. My questionable choice: The Ranger has a perfectly good running V6 that I just put in two years ago, but I want a V8 Ranger so under the knife it goes.
Had a massive panic moment because the title read like you were 1UZ swapping the S10, I'm very happy to see that I was mistaken. Two ridiculously cool trucks in one video is pretty awesome
Just a thought, swap out those headlights for some LED Units. That will cut down on the power drain. UNLESS, that thing has some sort of CANBUS System like VWs have that will cause an error if you don't have an incandescent, or a resistor in line with it.
I did a 327SBC swap on a '81 2WD Toyota SR5 Diesel Pick-up Truck (#1 rod came out to see the world) and got a swap kit from Hooker. The kit was for a 4WD, nobody made a 2WD kit. So, the headers didn't fit, the oil pan didn't fit and all 3 motor mounts didn't fit. I had to re-make all of those parts. The biggest laugh of the swap directions from Hooker was where it said to "remove windshield, stand on the dash and with a sledge hammer, beat the firewall in 5" for trans bell housing clearance".
My aunt had one of those built on a mitsubishi minitruck. Bought it from Jerry Hunt motor company between 98-05 Lexington NC. No motor work just body kit.
Best Episode Ever! Thank you for creating content. Please bring it to the next Octane Event at Town Center Mall! Would love to see the finished product!!!!
thats an 84 pickup, and a rare one at that. only some 84 pickups were available with the early style 22re. the later ones had a different valve cover with a electronic advanced distributor, the early ones were vacuum advance. It is also the only 84 pickup I have ever seen with factory cruise control, its a very rare truck in stock form.
Jared add 1 more electric S-10 to the count of people who own 1. I have a friend who has one in his private collection of vehicles. He has a company making lipo batteries for his and they are making the cases to look like original batteries and will fit into original battery box
I remember seeing one of those 1st gen chargers at library when i was growing up! I never knew what it was and now i recognize it. Thanks for the video!
It's weird, but I find sometimes electronics just need to sit a while to warm up or something, and then things just randomly work again. I have no explanation.
I'm fascinated by the S10! More videos on it please. Even stupid little things I would love to see all the small steps in the journey. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Great episode Jared. I’m happy to have been a small part of this. Thanks for being my friend!
Appreciate you tackling the ‘fun’ of testing all the chargers! Questionable s10 road trip next?
I’m prepared for all 33 miles of it!
I have to ask how many of the chargers worked?

The lithium upgrade is what I am interested in seeing
I can't believe having it charged over night didn't cause a fire and it actually worked.
I heard music... Nitzer Ebb/Join in the Chant.
Travis looks like one of those guys that would be cool to know. Attitude and knowledge.. Almost as cool as meeting Jared!!
Travis is an amazing friend and a blast to hang out with
He is literally one of the best people ever
I once had a brief email conversation with him.
He was just as you would expect from what you see. Just a really nice guy.
his car stories are some of the best out there. dude has experienced a lot of incredible stuff

It is nuts how little is out there for it! The aftermarket parts houses have more info it seems.
0:00 Jared did a money shift 😂😂
instantly over-revving! hah

Work boots wrong choice! 😂🤣😂🤣 There's a shirt in there somewhere
something about every fail being perfect for some sort of merch. why do we love that so much haha
A great line, "A cherry on a cow pie!" I'm stealing this line and using it when appropriate. Thank You!
Please do!
1UZ is such an underrated motor. Loved my SC400 and that subtle rumble
the aussies love that engine. cheap power, easy to get parts, and if you throw a little boost at it, it really goes like stink
16:58 Nice timing of the stop sign and the beat drop. Yay, Duane!
Love the drum and bass at 26:00 editor Dwayne, tip of the hat sir
If your Tech II wigs out on you, try moving the power connector from the OBD connector to the hand piece or vice versa. I've seen several of them be fussy!
GEDDY LEE! 21:53 Jared? How the heck did you get Geddy Lee to work in the shop with you?!?! I know they call you the workin’ man, but, wow!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
I didn’t know there were that many chargers left in existence tbh😅 I can’t believe how tight that 1uz is. I did an LS into my ‘86 S10 and thought that was tight.
Jared has a corner on the market.
Next time on the Questionable Garage; Jared epoxy coats his shop floor! 🤣
Excellent editing on this one, good time lapses and sound track!
This video was a lot of fun to watch!! V8 in that little truck is awesome
So awesome to see Geddy Lee is into cars too!
I was just about to post the same thing.....so funny
It’s not!? Awww man! I’m not going to be able to get “Working Man” out of my head no matter what anyone says!
Yes! It may be his long-lost brother!
Yes Iam his lost brother I looked him up I do look like him lol
@@kickasspowdercoatingI guess if he ever needed a stunt double you can get a pretty cool side gig!
This is awesome, Jared being a Toyota guy just makes it all that much cooler
Thanks Travis for speaking to the camera, really made your presence feel personal!
Honda Rousey is on the lift!!! *excited*
I laughed pretty hard watching the intro! Just starting the episode but this is sure to be another banger! I’m excited to see the “trucktorossa” come out to play and see the improvements you’ve made on the S-10! Keep up the amazing work Jared! Thanks for all the great content!
Putting my body on the line for great stingers !
6 Million Dollar man Sounds!
Love it!
Great episode, can’t wait to see some upgrades on your prototype EV truck 👍🏾
That truck deserves a full clean!!!!
I'm glad you both made it to your vehicles. Most questionable choice by far! Thanks Jared! Dave J
Hello again, Jared and Crew
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 You got them running 🏃♂️ And you had some fun too😊 Again thank you
10:25 88 mph That was funny.....😆 You guys are doing great. I'd only mess with my RadioShack rc car
You guys are real friends, so good to see.
We need a full video on the ToyotaRossa. I understand the rarity of this S-10 but the rarity and uniqueness of the SR5 Ferrari. Enough said!
I'm a simple man, I see a new questionable video, I immediately hit like and start having a better day
You can see how Jared detects the tumble and carries his momentum into we call a "ninja roll", leaving him essentially unfazed.
I did a few Spartan races when I was less dad bod, and was very athletic back in the day, knowing how to fall is as important as not falling!
That had to be the lamist drag race I've ever seen.
I love it!
That looked like fun. Glad to see the limo finally coming back too. Got some serious rust issues of my own to deal with. Need a little schooling Jared.
Glad to hear that the S10 is going. The Ferrari should be fun when it gets done.

There are 4 of my favorite people in this video!
Also Happy Birthday Travis!
Go Jared!!
I see Honda Rousey on the lift! 😁 And I love the special tires on Earl!
Had a massive panic moment because the title read like you were 1UZ swapping the S10, I'm very happy to see that I was mistaken. Two ridiculously cool trucks in one video is pretty awesome
Have to occasionally pretend to be a youtuber are get clicks!
That's sooo Cool, seeing this dinosaur eletric truck and I have to say YES ITS COOLER THEN A CYBERTRUCK
I know of a school in Metro Atlanta that still has an EV1 sitting in the garage of a house wasting away
Might that be Georgia Tech? I remember one sitting out there, although I don't really want to say how long ago that was :)
Guys... that UZ looks siiiick! Super powder coat choice. 👏
NO FREAKIN WAAAAY! That truck put down that much power! How many squirrels had sacrificed to build that pyramid of power ?
Just a thought, swap out those headlights for some LED Units. That will cut down on the power drain. UNLESS, that thing has some sort of CANBUS System like VWs have that will cause an error if you don't have an incandescent, or a resistor in line with it.
It’s not quite that smart! Itll also make it look way better
Jared with the dad joke in the bloopers. Nice

First of all, congratulations on getting the electric truck going, and I didn't know Geddy Lee worked on cars. 😂
I am serious when I say I laugh, Jared!! You're really funny!!😂😂 I'm glad I get to know you! I like your friends, too!
My aunt had one of those built on a mitsubishi minitruck. Bought it from Jerry Hunt motor company between 98-05 Lexington NC. No motor work just body kit.
Such a fun few days you guys had, it didnt look like work at all. And you got two... ish working trucks out of it!
I think both Travis and Jared almost died during that LeMans start😂
That Toyota/Ferrari Ute should have a mid engine 1GZ-FE swap!
Great work guys.
Cheers Pat 🇦🇺
they have an Ev1 at my local community college up for display and it is so cool to see it everyday. its probably the nicest one in existence.
Best Episode Ever! Thank you for creating content. Please bring it to the next Octane Event at Town Center Mall! Would love to see the finished product!!!!
I nearly peed myself when your drag race started backwards. Lordy mercy that was funny!!
I hope you feel luved with all your buddies helping you.😅
Jared for the Olympics !!
The 50 foot fall, I’m your champion. I used to be pretty athletic but then I kept eating like I was that active
@@TheQuestionableGaragethe dad bod eventually comes to us all Jared
I am your fan, anyway !@@TheQuestionableGarage
Finally, someone working on mini trucks and making it entertaining
thats an 84 pickup, and a rare one at that. only some 84 pickups were available with the early style 22re. the later ones had a different valve cover with a electronic advanced distributor, the early ones were vacuum advance.

This is car guys screwing around with 'retro evs', love it
So happy to see the charger got you going!!!! Can’t wait to see Tesla batteries in it!!! That’s one rare bird back on the road! Congrats!! 🎉
I have been anxiously waiting for some truxaroasa content. Yes please and thank you.
I remember seeing one of those 1st gen chargers at library when i was growing up! I never knew what it was and now i recognize it. Thanks for the video!
That intro!
Love the Toyota truck
It's weird, but I find sometimes electronics just need to sit a while to warm up or something, and then things just randomly work again. I have no explanation.
Keep spreading the Pandemic of Positivity! Love seeing it
Great videos! Questionable choices on shop organization though... I remember when your shop was new, clean and nearly empty.
It’s slowly coming back around, recovering the the build thrash of Tri-hard has been slow
I'm fascinated by the S10! More videos on it please. Even stupid little things I would love to see all the small steps in the journey. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Loving the s10 videos they are such cool trucks for the money
You guys are having way too much fun!!
I would have loved to just be the cameraman for this, but my laughing at all of your buddy antics would ruin the video 🤣
Looks like you got another tech 2! So cool to see the s10 running again
That 22re will live a good life too!
The starter lives in the intake manifold??? I've never seen that before! I'm used to them being mounted under the car next to the bell housing.
As a die hard 1st gen s10 fan I’d love to drive that thing it’s so unique
Those two trucks are insane!!!
Got the same Toyota truck here in France from England, but 2wd with the 2Y engine and 78hps :)
It's great to see that Honda episode will be out sooner or later.
Looking forward to seeing the truck running on the Tesla battery pack. Keep up the good work.
Brand new exhaust all the way from the intake filter to the muffler tip. 😎
Loved it , Roberts mom❤
When you guys said "just two projects", you weren't counting properly and meant 4, right? 🤣
Is there a way to calculate the cost of a charge in electricity divided by the number of drivable miles?
Now to get Lazarus up and moving then Honda Rousy that poor pile of rust with some good steel in places
Would be cool to see a crown v12 under there. Maybe after the v8 😊
Throughly enjoyed this!
I felt that fall, hope it all heals up quickly.
EV1 replica build. You know it makes sense, Jared.
That engine looks epic!
Honda Rousey on the hoist?!?!?!?!?!?! Wooooohoooooo!!!
Travis is one of the coolest dudes!
There is an adapter to adapt paddle charging evs on j1772 and adapters to charging them directly on nema 14-50
You are working on Rhonda Housey or whatever her name is. Yes!
