Well put!!  

well 2 days a go a guy on east coast just hit 1 million miles on his chevy silvado.he said he went through 5 trany's,3 fuel tanks,3 radiators, and has never done a overdrive!!This was on the radio over here in oregon.  

i have a 98 ford 1/2ton thats has seen every mountain in UT hunting camping and so on and it has 250,000plus miles on it I say plus becase i dident have a speedo for six months i had to replace gears but thats it never lets me down. 4.6 in it has no power but it gets the job done as for ford over chevy i have blue blood but own a 89 s10 blazer that is a beater and keeps going.one day ill have $$ to bild it up  

i would say the chevy personally i have an 03 2500hd with the 8.1 and it is definatly a good truck and havent had any problems with it.  

The only problem with the 8.1liter chevy's is the frames are to low in factory form. Had a service truck and had no problems with it, loved the tranny set up for heavy hauling. I Ran a 7.3 diesel and made lots of money working in wyoming, hardly no down time. 6.0 ford diesel can kiss my a--. Too much down time. Ran 2003/ 2004/2005/2006 and they all died. failed engines due to injectors problems and dead torque converters/tranny's. Now run a cummins service truck and it runs good and love the braking system. Had a v-10 and it was a good truck but lacked the power compared to a 460 ford. All these trucks weighed over 10,000lbs to 12,000lbs.  

Friends dont let friends drive Fords. Push a Chevy rather than drive a Ford your money ahead. LOL  

Na just foolin around the Ford is tough but I personally like the Chevy or better yet the GMC. Their heavier duty.
