Q: in here as they say if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... ....its probably tbones mouth flappin in the breeze. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author tbone wrote in order to call it a lie you need to prove me wrong and you have yet to do that but dont worry ill wait while you dance. you first have to prove yourself right or at least give some credible evidence of such. instead all you offer is your one single puny personal results. it was not just my personal results but for the metal lines to fail in less than 8 years shows some real second rate materials being used and with the rear bearing problems and delamination problems that many have posted about in here as they say if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... then claim youre right about making generalized claims about an entire company or brand for a given year. lol. some funny stuff right there! it is what it is miles even if you dont want to hear it. you have no credibility tbone so making a bonehead statement and then demanding to be proven wrong is absurd. i really hate to burst your bubble there miles but you really fair no better in the credibility department. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

ive had the truck going on 5 yrs. never had great heat but its getting worse. now it practically has no heat. what little there is comes when it is idling. start down the road and its cold air. symptoms no heat very very little anyway when moving. some when idling. what ive done in the last 6 months + new radiator + new water pump + new thermostat + new heater core addl info both heater hoses are hot once the truck is warmed up. a bit warmer air when you turn it to recirculate. im wondering if its a vacumm leak somewhere. is the heater control/blend door vacuum operated truck has 290000 miles. never been to a dealer since ive owned it but im throwing in the towel. have an appt next tuesday but if yall could help me before then id appreciate it! thanks! .

tbone wrote again i never said anything different. i have just noticed it more in the end of chrysler and early dc products. i havent. lol please miles you change every fluid just about daily. with the maintanence level you keep up with a yugo would probably last for years. i also question your quickfire predictable reason that its always some rich bastards greed that causes product problems. because in many cases that is exactly what it is even though you try and make it seem like it never happens. sure any company tries to cut costs. thats business. no unless you are losing money or cleaning up wasteful spending thats greed. sometimes they make bad designs and when they do they pay the price. lol no it is usally the customer that pays the price. usually the errors are corrected. when theyre not sales take a nose dive and the company goes belly up. this is complete bs when it comes to things like vehicles. they still have a significant brand loyalty which is obvious by the reactions in here when anyone says anything bad about one. i did notice that you said usually but as with ford and the pinto money always comes first. when will you learn the vast majority of business owners are not rich greedy bastards i cannot learn what simply isnt true. the days of the fair and honest businessman is sadly over. to succeed now you pretty much either have to have a product that nobody else has and cant get or you need to be a greedy bastard willing to screw anyone and many are the latter but what you need to do is to stop equating the common business owner with the assholes that are on the board of these major public corporations because they are not business owners. they just work for these companies and their primary concern is was and always will be themselves. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
