Truck keeps breaking down
every few months somthing goes wrong on my truck. When i first bought it i drove it home and when i got up in the morning i drove a 100 ft then the engine seized up. i took it back to the dealer and they gave me a new truck. They have replaced my truck 3 times! these trucks are just to week and cant handle anything but daily driving. Why not just have a car. About 6 months ago i got a Chevy Silverado 3500. it has ben great. Already got 50,000 miles on it. i use it to hall vehicles. It is twice the vehicle as the ford. i grew up loving ford but they have just let me down.

Did he join FTE just to tell us how much he dislikes Ford trucks? 
Yet his profile states that he owns a 2008 F350... Hum.

Assuming he drove that Chevy every day for 6 months, on average he was putting about 280 miles on it per day. At legal speeds, that is more than 4.5 hours in the seat per day. Seems a bit of a pita, but possible if he is always doing long hauls.
Not impossible but very unusual.
3 Ford lemons in a row seems a bit much. I would think the dealer would give a reason for why a truck with 100 miles siezes up. Would have to be something catastrophic like un torqued rods, NO oil, loose parts in the block. Unusual to say the least.
Me smells a bit of muck raking going on. Tthe tone is a bit whiney to start. And, the user name is suspicious, kind of like "sit on it?" Hmmm.
Ah well, at least he is happy with his chebby. he should join their group and tell them the delights of his chebby.

Sorry Charlie no one's buying your bull shiiii%%%%. Go back to your Chevy forums and play with your Japanese buddies that build your engines. Might as well call your duramax a rice burner.byby Troll......
