1983 light ivory/palomino 300d turbo
for the record. ford is better than chevy. a lot better. and for the record 70% ofthe dodge pickups wouldn't be sold if they didn't have cummins under the hood. can you immagine some of the mechanical work under the hood of some of these dodge pickups? they come with vnt but immagine the paperclips and bubblegum? Chrysler makes the worst vehicles on earth and I'm ashamed for Mercedes for ever getting involved with them. iI'm sorry dodge pickup, but It's not normal for a rear end to wear out after five years. or could be the radiator. my radiator never went but it was 27 years old and I just replaced it on principle.

I really don't mean to insult anyones vehicle here. I know all about impractical love for crap after a vespa and a few air cooled volkswagens. Sometimes vehicles are so intreaguing they deserve more than average loving care. I got into Mercedes because I was so sick of fixing things that just get unfixed again. Aside from the air intake to the turbo in my 300D which can be frustrating to service, things stay fixed on this car. It's really startling at first.

So true about modern International Harvester diesel engines. I talk to a lot of tradesmen all the time and inevitably there is a horror story once a month about a 40k$ American pickup or van spending weeks at the dealer or mystery problems causing thousands of dollars in repairs. We switched to Mitsubishi Fuso 10 years ago and never looked back. It's just simple economics.

and i have worked/driven a lot.
I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead this can get long and I'm sleepy. It's so funnn to battle like this, especially on a AWESOME small forum such as this one...

1983 light ivory/palomino 300d turbo
GM has style, Ford is for work. At least until the end of the 90's. My father had the most beautiful 1968 blue 4wd K10. The engineerig was questionable but if you look closely the bed actually had fins. That was such pretty truck and didn't really get stuck. It had the small rear window. I learned to drive on it because it had low range and all I needed was clutch. We switched to Toyota right after that for work pickups my brother drives I think #7 and my dad #8 Toyota. For tool carriers before the Mitsubishi Fuso came along in 98 my father always bought used Ford vans from Ryder. I remember them being difficult to work on and my father often saying thing like "typical corporate bullshit" while trying to get at a sparkplug. When I go to choose any product I always go with what the professionals use and it seems that most of the NYC taxicabs are Fords. Power company buys fords. Cable company drives fords. The old carpenters drive fords. This is quickly being taken over by Asian vehicles of course but that's off subject. How's that?

I have had the truck in my sig for 7 years now and would not hesitate to drive around the world. Sure there are problems with each, but I have not had many. It is a blast to do 0-60 in 6 secs and leave cars in the dust, err I mean a puff of smoke
My bro owns a Dodge with a Cummins, nice motor, but they put a million mile motor in 50K mile truck. It has power and I can't knock it for that - hell if money was no problem I would own one of each.

I like both but prefer GM. the distributor in the front is weird
GM has used the same bell housing since the first SBC and is is the same on the big block. Ford uses all sorts of different bell housing bolt patterns between big and small block with different separator plates to go with... Why would you bolt the starter to the trans!?! that means you can start the engine without a trans bolted to it... weird again plus you have the water pump as part of the timing cover... not cool.
But I have driven a 2001 Mustang with a procharger on it and that car was fuckin quick until I blew it up. It was a total sleeper and I would smoke that shit out of anyone who was dumb enough to challenge me.

But they did go have to go through bankruptcy and don't have to pay back their old loans, make everybody who owned stock see their shares worth zero, had an upper hand in labor negotiations and killed most of the supplier contracts. They pretty much did it to themselves with an old business model.

Thats because nascar uses cookie-cutter sticker engineered cars that are intentionally choked with ancient technology.
Nascar hasn't been an actual race event since the early 60's. Since then its just a high speed traffic jam where only driver/crew errors determine the outcome and accidents are the only attraction to stand watching it.

07-12-2010, 01:01 AM #12The Part where the motors make 875hp @ well over 9000rpm for 3-4 hours straight is still very impressive. If they made any more power they would just have to use smaller restrictor plates to bring the speed down.

Well that's what Larry McReynolds said @ Daytona the other week when he was at the Camry cutaway car talking about restrictor plates.... He said without them the motors make between 850 and 875. I was surprised too.

How do you compare an aviation engine to a NASCAR motor? That's like apples and oranges. Those Merline V engines never spun anthing near the RPM of NASCAR... Small modifications were made to the engines which were now capable of generating 1,310 horsepower (877 kW) at 9,000 ft (2,700 m) while running at 3,000 revolutions per minute...

It might be more of a catch 22 than anything that keeps the old technology in play.
I once toured a Sunfish or Sailfish production factory where they were making the little sailboats, and the guy running it was really candid about how much he hated that the international boat racing leagues that those little boats are used for has tremendous control over the application of new technology.
He was showing us that he is forced to build all new sailboats using practices and materials come up with in the 50s and 60s, because if he were to upgrade, his new, lighter boat would invalidate all the hundreds of thousands of boats still out there. His new boats have to be identical weight and design to boats built in the Eisenhower era so they can all participate in the same leagues.
Basically, he could not change the way to build them, because if he did, he could not sell them to people who wanted to race them in regattas, which was his entire market. He was telling us that he could shave a couple hundred lbs off one of those boats, and make one that was nearly twice as fast if he had his way, but to do that he would have to basically started another racing league.
It was interesting to hear. I would imagine that the stock car racing circuit has all kinds of restrictions like that, and it can prevent some new innovation. I agree with you, I find stock car racing to be pretty boring. Its not really "stock" cars anymore. It would be one thing if it were still like the old days and I could drive my car from the showroom floor out onto the track, but those days are gone. Thats why I am so excited by the "24 hours of lemons" racing phenomena thats taking place. WAY more fun to watch.

(07-12-2010, 12:37 PM)dropnosky Thats why I am so excited by the "24 hours of lemons" racing phenomena thats taking place. WAY more fun to watch.I agree very much with that. Unfortunately the diesels are doing so damn well that they are making rules specifically for them to choke performance and make the other teams "competitive". They already have a minimum weight limit, very small restrictor bells, reduced the fuel capacity limit (several times) and limit boost pressure.
The difference between 1-3rd place this year was 3 laps, 4th place was 25 laps behind. Thats after several years of new rules attempting to cut off Audi's and Peugeots' balls. But thats the difference between nascar and Le Mans, manufacturers still have enough freedom to come up with new ideas and technology. The only way a nascar team can make their car better is to bend the rules or outright cheat without getting caught.
The other manufacturers would be screaming rape if Audi didn't have major boost, fuel and airflow restrictions.

Sorry about that
Back on subject, I am more comfortable with ford vehicles just cause I always had them like others who have posted. I felt the base model vehicles were easier to repair on the ford brand versus the chevy brand back when all the money I had was stuffed down one of my socks, so I stuck with fords. No strong opinions really though, I do admit that is pretty hard to beat the turning radius on some of the chevy products though. I like a lot of chrysler products as well, always had a soft spot for jeeps, even after being absorbed by chrysler.
And of course, the 96 chrysler minivan thats been in the family is well above 220,000 miles with no signs of tiring, so can't complain about how great a vehicle thats turned out to be.
