This may just be me, and correct me if I'm mistaken... But I'm of the strong opinion that anything bearing the hummer badge should (but doesn't necessarily) come with some of the strongest, baddest components straight from the factory. With the reputation that hummers (used to) have, and their outrageous price, I'd say it's the least GM owes it's customers.

I have seen people have trouble with those GM tie rods on trucks with big tires and lift kits. Then again, seen a lot of Super Duty Fords with wasted plastic ball joints too.

In fairness you aren't really going to get the truth out of Ford man at heart either...
For the record I do believe when he traded his 03 Chevy in, he considered the 08 Ford (and in fact gave it a lot of praise when he tested it)
His purchase decision for the Chevy was his concern for the reliability of the 6.4, in comparison to his expectation of a very reliable Duramax (which I understand it has been thus far) as he experienced with his 03.
