General Comments:

This has been a very reliable truck with no complaints whatsoever. It still pulls down good fuel mileage...20-21mpg during more predominantly highway driving with a top of 24mpg on long trips. Everything still works and the truck is tight. I'm planning a suspension upgrade with a v8 transplant this fall... I hope I'm not jinxing myself and this great vehicle!

Faults:

New water pump.

General Comments:

Great work truck. I have the 2500 and it runs and pulls great. I tow a 2700 lb trailer about two times a month with no problems at all. I would recommend this truck to any one that needs a good reliable work rig.

Faults:

The Power Steering pump went out a couple of times. The Universal Joints wear fairly fast and must be replaced.

General Comments:

The truck is very reliable. I have over 330,000 miles on the original engine and it still fires very easily every morning. I got 320,000 miles out of the original transmission. Overall it has been a very good truck.

Faults:

The brake gasket for the lid of the container tends to fold in. It did not leak, but I replaced it anyways at about 62000 miles.

There is a slight vibration when I stop at stop lights behind the cab. I still haven't figured out what it is, but I believe it is one of the muffler brackets.

I have replaced the light bulb under the dash on the passenger side about 3 times. And the one on the drivers side 1 time.

I also replaced the brake light on the driver side at about 58000 miles.

General Comments:

The engine is very powerful, I have pulled logs, stumps, trailers weighing just under 3 and a half tons, and 8 cars and 1 Ford truck out of the ditch.

I have driven in all weather conditions including 2 ice storms and never had a problem.

I don't believe there is a finer truck made in America. I have done just about everything with this truck and it hasn't failed me yet.

The only down fall about a full size truck is the steering is not as maneuverable as a smaller car. So it can be hard to get into small areas with ease.

Faults:

My 87, town car is stronger! The alternator went after two weeks of the purchase and the passenger side door handle broke the day of the purchase! a seatbealt clip was broken when I bought it and the back window is missing the lock! Seats have terrible wear and tear and the radiator is starting to go. I personally suggest f-series or sierra.

General Comments:

A good loading truck. won't haul for nothing!

Faults:

I have had to replace the water pump, heater core, and radiator due to rust buildup in the cooling system. Since then, I've had no problems, but, I believe this was caused by an additive that I put in. So, I can't really fault the manufacturer.

Otherwise, I have only had to replace normal wear items like the alternator, batteries, tires, brakes, service items, etc.

General Comments:

This truck has held up well and I still get a lot of comments on it's condition. People ask me what year it is and when I tell them, they say it looks like new.

The ride is very comfortable and the cab is roomy and good looking.

I have hauled horse trailers and cargo trailers without any problems. It does not have a noticeable effect on power or handling.

I installed a Gibson cat-back exhaust system, hypertech chip, and K&N air filter. The performance is excellent.
