wow, a little remark about some lights can really stir things up. i have nothing at all against chevys, i actually thought about buying one before i bought my ford (I make the right choices don't I 
) i admit that i have worked on my friends 2000 chevy silverado more than i have worked on mine. i like the chevy trucks but since i have never had any real problems with my fords i am going to stick with them. by the way i just went to the gas station and a tahoe pulled in with a light out, i chuckled and happily got in my ford.

I've noticed that ALMOST EVERY Chevy I see driving...one of its little running lights is out. DRL or not...its always got one out. Ford and Dodge don't have tht problem (though I've seen a few Dodges too that have a light out). It's amazing...

Vulnox just said it as strongly as it can be logically stated. They've been good to me, I like them, I'm going to continue to purchase them.
Now, how 'bout those Running Lites??
I've seen a ton of em. Yet, my g/f's last vehicle, never popped one. Her father's truck, never popped one. Weird, inexplicable. Nothing is more frustrating than electrical gremlins, to me anyway..

You won't hear very many Chevy owners complain here about their crappy customer service, see, they post at the Chevy website. I don't think arguing for or against the 350 is worth even doing, they don't even put it in trucks anymore, do they? In any event, I liked the 351 better, it good decent mileage and had decent power and would, in my experience, last a heck of a lot longer than a 350 in a comparable CHevy truck without a rebuild. Chevrolet got out of the truck market, though, they don't make a heavy duty 4x4 anymore, at least not one with a solid front axle that could actually hold up to bigger tires and constant driver abuse.

they both have their pros and cons, and i belive alot of people here believe as i do, that FoMoCo makes quality trucks that are dependable, long lasting, strong, and never back down. this is a ford site people, please take your pro-chevy stuff elsewhere. no offense, but do you expect a warm welcome for chevys at ford site? itll only rouse large dragging arguments about whos right or wrong. that gets us nowhere and thats not what this site is all about. if yall chevy men cant take a little joking and poking fun then u dont need to be here, cause thats whats gonna happen. this is a ford site, what do you expect? if you want to make fun of fords, then go to some chevy forum or something. but dont bring it here please. this was merely about runnin lights on chevy trucks, lets keep it that way shall we? i jes thought id put in my 2 cents, thx
