New Horse Hauler

I worked at Chevy from the begining's of Computer Command Control carbs up through the use of Multi-port injection in the trucks. The 90's trucks were awesome with the throttle body system and almost no hoses or wires. I used to hate working on the Ford tuck trade ins. The valve cover  that sat under that stupid giant manifold always leaked. :no:  :violence-blades:  :roll:

I hated working on Ford's. What leak, I don't see no leak! As far as my least favorite GM motors to work on it was the Quad 4 (headgasket no fun) and the Olds 307 gutless wonder boat anchor...

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.  This is my 3rd new fleet truck.  I bought a new 1986 Ford F-150 with the 300 straight 6 back in 1986.  Had over 100,000 and was still running great, but you could see through it. That was a great truck.  Then I bought the 2000 GMC Sierra with the V-6.  This was a great truck also...just over 96,000 and rotting out under the doors.  It's going to be a good truck for someone.  And now comes the 2014...I am really liking this truck already.  For 1 thing...it is quiet as a mouse...2nd...the gearing gives it some real spunk.  I'm still breaking it in, but I have a feeling the top end is really good also.  She feels like she really likes to cruise in the 70's and it is a very nice ride.

I don't even want to talk about the day the Chevy dealer bought out a local AMC/Jeep/ Renault dealer and we had to work on those too!  :banghead:  You haven't lived until you worked on those toilets!  :handgestures-thumbdown:  :angry-nono:  :violence-blades:
