General comments?
This vehicle is a piece of garbage. I still can't belive the amount of money I have sunk in repair costs. The thing is sitting in my backyard now, while I decide if I want to replace the water pump or not. It is amazing to think that this truck with it's beautiful exterior is a worthless piece of garbage. It's to the point that I can't sell this to anyone in good conscience, so I guess it's between getting the freaking thing fixed for the 10th time, or donating it to charity.
I hate to say it, but this is the last US made vehicle I will own. I just bought a Honda, and plan to keep buying Honda's until Americne car manufacturers get it together.
