I heard that Chevy builds most dependable, longest lasting trucks on the road and that they are built "like a Rock".  I don't remember who told me those things, but they are primary reasons I one today.

Well, I pulled my Ford powered Elim. with two different Chevy's.  Just sold the last one.  Either truck has pros and cons.  I'm going diesel this time for the mileage, longevity and both the PSD and the D/A seem up to the task.  If I was towing over 10k regularly, I'd be biased towards the GM Allison tranny but for price on used market (01-02) Ford is best right now.  I am curious about the longevity of an aluminum block diesel such as the Duramax.  It seems contrary to be able to handle the heat over long periods such as towing grades in 100+ heat.  Time will tell though.  The best thing: there is truly an old fashioned "HP/Torque war" going on with the big 3 in the diesel arena.  All us consumers are the winners.  After researching Ford and Chevy (I won't go Dodge due to the short cab syndrome they have)
Following problems with Chevy:
Fuel filtering/ may need to ad a second
Injectors/ starting to read about failures

Fords:
Weak auto trannys with heavy loads towed
Oil leaks at rear of engine and near turbo.

I've always liked Chevy's but:
This piston slapping problem with the 6.0's is ridiculous.  I really like the 1500HD's but won't buy one as too many are having this problem.  GM is starting to replace motors and extend warranties on an individual basis.  It's really a shame they don't just do a recall.  

But to bicker is stupid/ as stated earlier:  Chevy's always are designed to ride nicer, have nicer interiors/ Ford's are always sturdier and easier to lift.  
To each his own.
Now, if I could only sell this Ford boat...LOL

I forgot about this thread.  Had to chuckle reading it all again though.  Oh yeah, I should have another Duramax any day now.  That would be 2 in the driveway now...   :good  :D

All that he did to bend his tailgate, was ride his didrt bike into the back of the truck.As he went up the ramp, the bike kicked the ramp out from under it.

Here is a pic of my truck and my brothers.
