A friend of mine since I have known him has owned 3 Ch*vy trucks.

89(?) S10 reg cab v6
93 1500 ext. cab step side 350
97 4wd suburban tow pack. 454

His s10's valves springs start going bad around 50,000 and he once drove
out to my ranch with a wicked rattle coming from the one of the heads.
We opened up the valve cover and one of the springs had broken in half.

He traded in the S10 for a full size truck, and guess what... ...ever
since he started pulling a boat, his truck is always in the shop for some
kinda valve or head work.

So what does he do now? He goes and buys a 97 suburban (for his wife, so
he claims) with 4wd and a towing package to pull his boat. 1 month after
he bought this thing its leaking oil, and has been back in the shop 2
more times for oil leaks.

There are other people with GM products that I could name and write about
too, but the point is that I have seen more GM cars and trucks start to
fail in a short amount of time than I have seen Fords fail.

Quick note: the worst GM that I have seen is the Geo Metro. This thing
looks like the whole car was snaped togeather like a some toy.
