Hey numb nuts; where do you suppose Ford gets their truck diesel from? Where do you suppose GM gets their truck transmissions from?
"good value," now there's something you wouldn't want to look for...
Like who? Ford? Can't be, they use a third party diesel engine in their trucks. GM? Can't be, they use third party diesel engines and transmissions in their trucks.
Damn, there's that "good value" thing again.
Yeah, all those buzz box ignition and gravity feed wick carburetors.
You should tell that to my ten year old Dakota, you know, Dodge's mid sized pick up truck with way more room in it than a Ford Ranger or Chevy S-10. For some damn reason, it just isn't rusting away in chunks like my F-150 did and the damn thing just doesn't drink gasoline like the Ford did either.
Did lots and lots of head gaskets on Fords, did lots and lots of head gaskets on GMs. Of course, GM transmissions are so good, they had to go to Allison for their transmissions to attract customers.
Saturn is an import? Sheesh, what a dolt. Tell me something genius; where does Pontiac source the GTO from?
I guess if you totally ignore the fact that Chevrolet is building engines for the North American market in China....
I want an engine from the country that squished it's citizens with military tanks! Now -that- is status!
