Seriously, it's like you can buy any 2008 for less than $35k. I get the vette back this week. I will be posting my truck for sale on E-bay after that and buying a new truck.

-The Fords have a MUCH better interior than any other truck, but I have heard from several people about the 6.4 having issues. Seriously, it has a better interior than my buddies E350 or his 996TT.

-The Dodge's have the Cumming's and they just look mean. I haven't heard any issues with them at all. I haven't been happy with the reliability of my 1500. It's a 2003 and I already had to replace the transmission Valve body, water pump, power steering pump, O2 sensors, shocks, 1 key fob, the driver seat motor, and finally 1 power window switch. Also my Dash is starting to crack:bang:. I would hate to buy a truck with a 1000000 mile drive train and I am dying to get rid of it at the 100k point because the interior is fucked.

-The Duramax will probably get my vote. I'm going to try to whore myself to Chevrolet dealers for some sponsorship money for racing. Also have the lowest ownership cost. I have been happy with the reliability of the vette:lmfao:. I rape it like a 14 year old girl at the Puerto Rican Day Parade, but at 33K I have gone through:
8 sets of tires
too many brake pads to count
6 sets of rotors
1 driver seat back
1 clutch slave cylinder
3 sets of rims
1 top end motor upgrade
1 complete new motor
2 cat back exhaust
1 tire pressure monitor failure
everything in the suspension except the A arms, bushings and rear sway bar.
1 front fender

The reality was that I was solid in 2nd place last year until the mechanical failures took me out last year.

It's what me mum has. There are no issues with them as they're basically an industrial application engine. Note however, they are LOUD, and I don't mean in a pretty way unless you like the sound of a big rig. Duramax is probably the best overall choice and like you said, maybe some sponsorship options. :huh:

This is where any good moderator would step in and remove an extraordinarily offensive post. Yes, that's what a good moderator would do.

Honestly, you could not go wrong with any of them. Style wise I think Ford is the best. Suspension = Ford. Engine probably Chevy, Tranny = Chevy. The only one I would not want is a Dodge personally, not sure I could bring myself to buy a Chevy though.

When you see a bare SBF next to a bare SBC, you'll lose some of your prejudice, like I did.

We don't really do anything well. We just "do"

Hopefully we get a little further than that. It's all about the scrilla.
