[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 263627, member: 2011"] Hmmmmmmmm, Three of my brothers worked in the steel industry. In 1984 I needed a new vehicle. To keep my brothers working I went with the latest and greatest.......Chevy Caprice Station Wagon (large family) with a 3.x Diesel. Paid $13000.00 for it, cash. Over the next year I had another $13K in it due to injector pumps, oil seals etc. Ran the thing till I was tired of it. Used it to haul my Catahoula Hounds around.:rolleyes: Fuel leaked from the fuel pump to the crankcase at about the same rate as oil leaked out of the seals. I knew it was time to put new oil in when I make a left hand turn and the oil light came on.:D Turns out diesel ain't a bad lubricant.:rolleyes: Went to the BBB for arbitration. Got screwed there too. From then on it was Mazda (1), Honda(1) and Suzuki(2 simultaneously) [B]When [/B][B]I buy a real truck it most probably will be a Chev. Silverado, 4 Door, 4x4, short bed, 3/4 ton.[/B] But no cars. PS: If it wouldn't have been for some dummy a lap back, a Toyota wooda won the Daytona. [/QUOTE]
