I was a GM master tech for 20 years. When I quit GM, the LS engines had just come out. They have always had problems of one kind or another. Transmissions were a biggie. Sorry interior quality was another... Ditto for the peeling paint. By the time I quit them, I was ashamed of the product.
My new caddy is disappointing in the mpg area I expected it to be a lot better than the boosted 5.7 but todays 80 mile run only avg.22 on a v6
Damn that's not great for a V6,i can pull down over 30 with the wifes 6.4 Challenger on a trip.
When the parameters are at such extremes, it makes me wonder just where the person is trying to land, realistically. 8 grand as opposed to 75 grand makes for a wide chasm, but leaves a HUGE gap where a decent truck CAN be had somewhere in that gap. I can buy a whole tanker of gas for 67 thousand dollars (the amount between 8 g's and 75 g's). It also leaves a bunch of repair dollars latitude for a cheaper, older truck.
Yeah the $8000 truck was only supposed to be for a year or so. But she says she will be keeping this one 10 years. We will see. She is 29 and is hoping to 'retire' in a few years and just run her properties. But she does like her 'toys' so not overly surprised she went this route.When the parameters are at such extremes, it makes me wonder just where the person is trying to land, realistically. 8 grand as opposed to 75 grand makes for a wide chasm, but leaves a HUGE gap where a decent truck CAN be had somewhere in that gap.

That said, the limited amount of mileage/gas consumption alluded to by the close proximities of the properties make a lesser truck more practical, in my own viewpoint.
But, things being what they are, I truly hope she gets a lot of good utility from the new truck! Peace!
Thrust bearing mains keep on exploding
Great days! Now it's "hook the computer up to it"! LOL
and roll your own windows.
But that was the trick...It didn't have to roll much. You need to think differently with it...Start rolling BEFORE you start turning. I passed my driving test with a manual/manual...Parallel parking wasn't easy, but doable.
Took my driving test in a 78 nova. Power steering pump was shot, left the passenger window down so the evaluator could close the doot since the handle inside was broken off and the only points I got was when I parked I didn't set the e-brake. Didn't tell him it was because the release handle broke off so I couldn't. He almost didn't let me take the test as it was because the car didn't seem safe. Lol that was my stepdads car. Mine was way worse, which was why I borrowed his.
Holy crapola Batman U made a lot of $$$ mowing lawns. My 67 396 SS Impala had 3 on tree. We cut a hole in center hub, also pulled the trans and put in a 4 speed Saginaw with Hurst. We just put a piece of carpet over the exposed hole areas. We did put on hush thrush (the birds) and such but not much more. We were poor Boirds lol.
