Well most of those Import vehicles you are harping on EMPLOY many North Americans!
And you will definitely be pushing your Chev as those "other" driver's are passing your vehicle on the side of the road! Happy motoring....Or should I say....Happy pushing!

I would seriously do some research on the 5.3L. There are some issues with some of the engines, but not all of them.

And while were at it why dont we take all the jobs that those POS car maker's give the good people of North American's.
I didnt see Toyota or Honda or any of the other Import automakers taking bail outs from Govt. Oh that's right.....They actually make GOOD cars and basically every car that comes off the line is already sold, unlike the endless football stadium sized fields of GMs and Chrysler that are brand new and will sit there and rust out, cause consumers are sick and tired of buying junk that you have to fix almost weekly/monthly.......While the owner's of those POS cars call every 3 months to get just an oil change....
You keep driving your Government owned vehicle....Your mechanic will love taking your hard earned money from you.

Toyota makes good cars? That has got to be the best joke of the year. Toyota is having the worst year in its history being drowned in recalls, unintended acceleration with no fix in sight. Seriously, I'm glad I don't own one of those things.
 
Talk about some serious devaluation.

i have a 2008 gmc sierra 4.8 1500 crew cab with 48,000 on it. the only problem i have had with it is now. the transmission is acting up a bit. of course i really treat it bad to. you know kinda like they do on the comercials except all the time. it is a work truck and as far as power wise the 4.8 isnt that much different than the 5.3. anyway the truck is the best i have ever owned . the stability system is awesome to especially if your drunk. you know im not a ford,toyota,chevy,dodge,or whatever kind of vehichle lover i just like what i like, all vehicles have their problems whether its transmision, frame rust or whatever
