I have 366,000 miles plus on my Silverado, best vehicle I've ever owned, but my OP about unions still gives me pause to support those thugs, that's all I'm saying. Before the 2000 Silverado, I had a 97 F-150 with the small V* (4.6?), had some transmission issues at 80K so I traded for the Silverado. Here at work, lots of issues with new RAM trucks.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
