Now back to normal maintenance intervals
my wife and I have driven nothing but ford for 25 years and we run them high miles (my truck has 179k, wife’s Explorer 175k, daughters f150 185k ) never have I had a transmission issue on one ford
Now my buddy owns a fleet biz, over 250 fleet trucks and he said he can’t keep a transmission in a Chevy
I hear they are still having issues even with the collaborative transmission which tells me Chevy has other engineering issues

I have said it many times but I don’t trust my truck and every time I get into it I’m just knowing something is going to happen with either the motor or tranny. I did good on my purchase as far as paying under invoice but I’m going to watch the market this year and try to get into another diesel 3/4 ton truck. I’ll take a hit but I can not stay in this vehicle! I don’t know how all of these General Motors loving nuts still support them. Sorry nuts

Originally posted by jjaimes View PostNever change it! We’ve changed if on 2 trucks and within 3 months both Transmissions went out. I spoke to a good friend who’s used to work in a used car dealership and he warned against this. He said it never failed every time they changed it within months they brought them back with transmission problems. I wouldn’t do it.
