Lol .. nice


I seem to remember that there is a Ford engine with a timing chain in the rear of the engine. #1 son had one (a Ranger IIRC) that he purchased with the extended warranty. Three chains later he traded it off. He is definitely NOT a gearhead but it got to the point he could hear it when the chain needed replacement.


Glad I didn't buy that truck now! What's the flat rate on that belt change?

The guy I spoke to said about $5500, also said he'd trade it before then. LOL

You did post on a Mopar site, so what did you expect? Yeah, its horrendously ugly, WHO CARES? If they are covering the cost of everything, its really simple--continue to be greatful. I dislike my work truck, but I LOVE not paying for anything that goes with it, and its pretty much always got the job done. As far as quitting your job instead of being seen driving around in it as another poster replied, only something an absolute phucktard would say.

It sounds like a company truck.........why would the driver care? That stuff is a company issue. I'm not a GM guy but if my boss gives me a brand new anything to drive...I'm smiling!!! If it fails...their issue, not mine!

Edit: I've been in a 19 GM diesel 1/2 ton......amazingly quiet! Not sure I'd own one but not a bad ride!

No Phucktard, that's something someone with pride and decency would say. Have you ever looked into the history of Blunder Motors or are you just some kind of Wannabe Mo' Fart? Do you know that they bent the Taxpayer over for 11.9 Billion dollars?

Obviously, you can't say schitt to your boss if your mouth was full of it because you'd be too busy on your hands and knees for a paycheck. At the bottom of the ladder at your job cleaning urinals?

I don't have to do that. wink Good People in any company can call shots on something as trivial as vehicle brand that they have to drive. twocents

Run along with your mop and pail, Goofball: I hear your Boss coming around the corner. spank

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
