They are probably trying to prevent a rock from getting kicked up and busting a hole in the cheap butt oil filter.........

JMObservation
Toyota= High price and horrible fuel economy
Dodge = Horrible electrics - junk paint but good diesel motors but Dodge don’t manufacture em
I own a dodge Dakota 1997 stays in shop just an e tea vehicle, 80% of the paint peeled , have to replace head light switch once a year , I keep one in the glove box , I owned a Toyota SR-5 was a great little truck but that was before they think they are made of gold and they did get good fuel economy so I’ve owned them ALL
this is is a nobody wins debate but fun to talk aboutLast edited by Jay Smith; 01-06-2019 at 11:48 AM.

I have an '08 Suburban, this will be the last Chevy I own. I always buy my vehicles a couple years old (let the depreciation hit) and I didn't do my homework on this one. It is the first gen 5.3 with the AFM. Had to replace the cam and lifters at 100K and decided to do the AFM delete. If I weren't a mechanic, I would have been looking at a minimum repair bill of $5K. Who would put $5K into a 10 year old truck with a value of only $13K? Dealer wants $8K plus labor for a new long block. Next time this thing fails, it's going to the scrap yard. It's a shame too because otherwise it's in great shape.

When I was just starting out and didn't know any better I went to work @ a F.O.R.D. dealership as a mechanic ... Talk about "Job Security"

Yeah like removing the whole cab to work on diesel motor...6.0 diesel
Last 20 some years use Dodge pickups because of Cummins motors, a water pump that took 1/2 hour to replace as far as the motor goes. in over 20 years, have 189,000 on my 09
GM has a new six diesel for 2019 going to wait and see how they run, talking about 30mpg in a full-size truck.
Fords two F750s with Cummins one F800 Cummins T340 Crane 8.3 Cummins see a pattern
Also three 6.6 Duramax , I've spent more on my 2003 C5500 than all the others combined bad heads.Last edited by CUDA; 01-06-2019 at 05:36 PM.
