The first automatic I drove was the first day of drivers education. I got in to drive and coach Vroman got in the passenger seat. I said "how the hell do I drive this thing". He shook his head and laughed.
This is what I quoted from you Chevy....ugh etc. just wondering why the hate for Chevy for a kid that has had a dead reliable Chevy and a junker Ford he never got to drive why he should hate Chevy is all. I am going to stop cluttering up the swap meet thred now sorry all
I did not say hate but heck who knows some do not see humor
That was a very clapped out 96 or 97 7.3 powerstroke that needed more work than I was told and I traded it and pretty much broke even and also gained some fun and knowledge along the way.
That's what everyone tells me... I've never gotten fully comfortable with manuals, only ever drove our 1995 Toyota pickup in the yard, although the DX series deutz tractors have somewhat similar setups and I've gotten comfortable with those.
I know what a manual trans is, lol.
My Chevy has definitely been reliable for what it is. And actually I did get to drive the Ford twice if that counts
How about Manual, the tranny?
Not certain
That’s a drag…
ZF6's are kinda "meh" in my book. Massive, close shift pattern, and fairly rough in my opinion. The auto that came with a 7.3, built right, will last a minimum of 100k moving a 10,000lb truck and a trailer/tractor that are another 10k up and down mountain roads. If you don't change the oil/filter for far too long, the in-line add on filter implodes, and your ATF no longer circulates through coolers, etc that built transmission will blow at 100k. If you keep up on maintenance, it should go longer. Stock, I dunno. I think the stock one blew at 80k, but that was hauling those same weights for a few years. On flat ground or without hauling 13k over the truck's weight I'd say it should do just fine for a long while.
Logan has shipped saws to me and it has been fine.
Same here
I've shipped dozens of saws including bigger ones like the homelite c series. I know a few of the things I post in this thread like trucks and snowblowers can not be shipped reasonably, but there are several other Wisconsinites on here and I've actually made several local sales and deals thru this forum. I also just recently finally got an account set up with pirate ship.
