Replying to: coontie57 (Feb 25, 2007 5:27 pm) lived in NC for a while. i don't think you get the snow that we do in new york. plus they use a lot of salt up here on t he roads in the winter time. morgan Replies to this message: jreagan (Feb 25, 2007 6:05 pm) morganv (Feb 25, 2007 6:17 pm) jreagan (Feb 25, 2007 6:30 pm) dustyk (Feb 25, 2007 6:43 pm) and 13 more... coontie57 (Feb 27, 2007 5:45 am)

Replying to: kcram (Feb 25, 2007 4:43 pm) My mistake. I think I was confusing those who put 6 quarts of Amsoil in their Duramax. Regardless it's a lot cheaper Rocky

Replying to: morganv (Feb 25, 2007 5:51 pm) I live in Minnesota. Land of 10,000 Salt trucks. My GM's have never had premature rust. My 1989 did not start showing any rust until about 2000 when I got my new one and my 2000 is still like brand new. Not a scratch, ding OR a single speck of rust. Of course, I take care of my stuff. Dodge's are the worst of the big 3 for rust, and Toyota is the worst of any vehicles. Come drive on our freeways and you will see for yourself.

Replying to: jreagan (Feb 25, 2007 6:05 pm) well, of course. i'm sure minnesota is going to be worse than new york for salt, but around here in my experience the GMs gett rusty sooner. And something tells me the anti dodge stories are going to be deeper than minnesota snow. morgan Replies to this message: jreagan (Feb 25, 2007 6:30 pm) dustyk (Feb 25, 2007 6:43 pm) jreagan (Feb 25, 2007 6:53 pm) rockylee (Feb 25, 2007 8:11 pm) dustyk (Feb 26, 2007 7:03 pm) and 9 more... redram1 (Feb 27, 2007 5:01 pm)
#162 of 206 Dad....... by rockylee Feb 25, 2007 (6:29 pm)
My father has a 1998' Silverado Z-71 with over 250K on it. He has Zero rust. I guess all vehicles will rus if one never washes them. Maybe the story's of the Chevy's rusting is one where the owner never washed it ? Obviously the Dodges are getting a few more baths but that won't help when the body's panels are falling off. J/K I did buy a 96' Dodge Ram a couple of summers ago. I think we've put 5-6K on it. I do like dodges but this truck sure has nickled and dime us to death. Hopefully once it gets all the way fixed I will not have to worry about fixing it again it for a long-time. Rocky

Replying to: morganv (Feb 25, 2007 6:17 pm) Morgan, Morgan, Morgan. How dare you see things differently than the self-perpetuated myth of GM superiority. You are not supposed to criticize GM products. It's heresy. It just can't be true that something else is as good or better. You know, if that company was as perfect as GM worshippers try to imply with their anecdota reports of perfect machinery, why are they in so much trouble? As Toyota keeps creeping forward, GM will have their hardcore buyers...for a while.

Replying to: dustyk (Feb 25, 2007 6:43 pm) GM perfect? Not by a long shot, but still light years ahead of Toyota. Toyota would LOVE to be where GM is at in the truck segment. But, it'll never happen, GM has gotten there "stuff" together and will keep getting better.

If this keeps up Hyundai and Nissan will make them 8th #1 GM #2 Toyota #3 Ford #4 Honda #5 DCX Rocky Replies to this message: dustyk (Feb 26, 2007 7:03 pm) coontie57 (Feb 26, 2007 8:28 pm) rockylee (Feb 26, 2007 8:51 pm) and 7 more... redram1 (Feb 27, 2007 5:01 pm)
