Default Chevy sucks

well dang guys.. i messed up big time sellin my 04.. sold my old fx4 with 140,000 miles and for some stupid reason bought an 04 z71 that i was planning on using as a hunting truck.. hand over fist problems.. dash cluster was screwed front end problems out the A** tranny shifts hard as hell and thats probably gonna need to be replace.. needless to say im sellin this B**** and buyin another ford.. ill never own another chevy in my whole life..

not saying every chevy is bad but this one looks awesome but is a complete and total piece of shizzy... selling it and gettin myself into a new or slightly used f150 4x4..

Thought you were getting a new F-150?
How many miles on the Z71? Gauge cluster is common GM problem.

I used to be all agaisnt chevys untill I drove one. The 5.3 has a whole lot more get up and go than my 5.4 with an edge evolution on level 3. The 5.3 has electrical issues but doesn't have spark plug or cam phaser problems. My ford tows way better though and looks better.

What gears did the 5.3 have.......


I see you have 3.55's in your ford...... if the 5.3 had 3.73's then there is your get up and go.....

my pops has a 07.5 dmax and he loves it... As for the gas engines, I have no clue as to how they compare to our f150's. Sorry you had to go through that man
