The sad thing is, I drive with my running lights on all the time with my Ford Ranger, I did the same thing with my 2002 and 2003 Sport Trac's, and NEVER had one bulb burn out. That is after 20-30k miles on each vehicle. (Flawless miles I might add, unlike my uncle's S-10 that left him stranded and was in the shop several times within his first year of ownership) I like to drive with them on because here around Michigan people CANNOT drive, and almost all of them have cellphones to their ear, so if I can prevent someone from hitting me because they notice the lights (yellow grabs attention better than white), it will prevent a lot of trouble. So basically I drive my truck like Chevy/GM makes their customers drive, and I do not have these burn out problems.
Ford to the rescue once again!
Oh and I notice the problem on all years, I have seen 2000-2004's. Our neighbor has a 2003 Suburban, it has had more electrical issues than any vehicle I have heard of. They replace the front running lights semi-annually. That is unacceptable in my opinion.

BTW: If you think about it(I know thats hard for you, but try) chevy would make more money with a shorter warranty so obviously they care about the consumer. Actually I dont know why Chevy has warranties, they never have any problems
J/k

2. Fords can tow more
3. The majority of heavy duty work trucks are Ford for a reason.
There's a few, but I can go on if you wish.

I was once a chevy guy but i'm now all FORD. So take your crappy ideas somewhere else. Got rid of the Nova as well. Wouldn't want to have both Chevy and FORD. My opinions are not negative. I've have nothing but negative expierences with CHEVY......i got chevies cuz people had so much hype. Nothing to brag about. FORD is better. PERIOD. IF i'm a troll that makes you a p.o.s

hey, why you getting mad a me F-deuce. I am on you side. I have the Nova because it is lighter than any of the other muscle cars, and you can throw pretty much anthing you want in the big engine bay. Not to bash the Mustangs , but I really dont like the early years for them, just not my style.
