Chevy was a lemon. I dated the warranty clerk for Chevrolet, she saved me a bundle.
But I traded it in after 3 years when the warranty ended.
Bought the Ford 7.3L diesel and had it for 12 years so far.
Never kept any truck more than 3 or 4 years, except for this one.
I did have an F-350 with a 460 CI gas engine back in the mid 80's. Good truck,
pulled good, terrible mileage.

Hold on to that truck! 7.3 IS the best diesel ever built. My uncle is a hotshot driver and has over 500,000 miles on his with no mayjor problems.
