I'll start off by saying fix or repair daily!  Fords suck by the way... |
I'll start then by asking you why they arent making the fbodies anymore? It couldnt have anything to do with they were selling more stangs than cameros and firecluckers combined would it? THE CHEVY MUSCLE CAR IS DEAD

Even after the crap I went thru today working on my truck... I still vote FORD. But there are a few Ford engineers I would like to see flogged, keel hauled, drawn and quartered, then hung by there entrails. "Ford, we have a better Idea" ( but we won't use it. ) I try to buy U.S. - but next time I may have to go Toyota And yes if I didn't live here in CO where snow can be a factor year round I would likely be on a bike. |

You chevy fans tell me this: if chevys are superior to fords than why are they going to cut 25000 jobs in the next couple of years? And why are they losing $2,300 per vehicle sold this year (according to a news report)? The only chevys I like are the H2's and the new corvettes. At least hey got that right. Ford  shivy

Actually GM retooled the f body plant in Quebec to make trucks because their truck sales were increasing. I'm a BowTie fan but I'll also be the first to say that if GM doesn't get off their corporate nuts and start putting quality and new fresh idea's on the street...they are going to be in worse shape then they are now. They should take a page from Chryslers book in regards to new pushing the envelope designs and returning to their roots ideas. |

As companies none of them is any better than the rest. Sure Ford had the exploding pintos but Chevy single handedly killed the passenger car diesel market with the 350N engine. Mopar has defined the market at times (minivans and the "peterbilt" pick up truck look) but has made some spectacular flops too. (K-cars etc.) I have had fords, chevies and dodges. I just pick what I want with out regard to manufacturer. However I will only buy from the traditional american companies, I.E. Ford, Chevy, or Mopar. |
Fu*ker Only Runs Downhill There's nothing better sounding than a 350 Chevy with straightpipes and Cherry Bombs. Thats what redneck dreams are made of  And on the 350 Diesel note, GM took a Buick (or was it Olds) 350 GAS motor and converted it to a diesel. They should have known that there was gonna be problems. Gas motors, no matter how HD they are, AREN'T cut out for diesel compression. WIZZO (Fullsize Chevy Blazer 4x4 guy) |

Have a Ford and owned two Chevies before. Ford interiors have a really cheap feel to them. I liked my Chevy better in that regard. Beyond that they both run as good as can be expected from a US made car... they last as long as the warranty and then turn to shit. |
Ehhh, if you're gonna go for 1 ton, you go for dually at the same time. If not, all you have is an HD 3/4 ton  WIZZO |

Proof I'm not completely FOS. HERE  "Silverado 3500 LS Single-Rear Wheel 4x4 Crew Cab in Black with available Duramax Diesel V8 engine, Allison transmission and other features. Price as shown $44,533*"  WIZZO |
There you have it. Must be new for '06, though. They haven't offered one of those for a while. |
Apparently, Chevy thought so too for '06.  WIZZO |
