Here in St. Louis I see a lot of the current generation GM trucks, Dodge trucks, but hardly any of the current generation F150's. I've seen a lot of the Ford Super Duty’s though more so than the GM HDs.

 

 

What trucks do you see in your area?

1. GM

2. Ford

3. Dodge

 

I had a really hard time with what I saw for vehicles driving around during my vacation to D.C. a few weeks ago. WAY too many asian vehicles in our nations capitol, imo. It was a rareity to see a domestic vehicle anywhere east and south of central PA. Made me sick to my stomach, to be honest.

it depends on what little town youre in around here. in jonesboro (pop 70k) it is a pretty even mix of gm and ford. every small town around seems to have a preferred brand tho. in my home town and county it is gm. a few towns down it is ford.

90% of the 1/2 and 3/4 tons are GM and about 75% of the 1 tons are Ford's. There aren't alot of Dodges around mainly beacuse there is one dealer in a 65 mile radius and these guys are pricks.. BAD.. My dad has an 2010 F-450 4x4 King Ranch, really nice truck just alot to spend but after spending hiis whole life on a cattle farm, the last 40 running it and working in construction he deserves it.

Definitely not scientific, but over the last ten years it seems like it's gone from GM/Ford to Ford/GM in the Baton Rouge area. Dodge has always been a distant third.

I dont know if you guys have heard of Jack Links beef jerky but im from the tiny town in northern wisconsin where its made ( pop 521) and Links owns pretty much every thing in town including a ford dealer. So everyone is stupid and buys from him and he is like 7 grand over priced. Used to only see fords now you are seeing more and more gm, people are starting to catch on.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It’s at the point of amusement. I’m retired I have time. It’s fun seeing people try to convince me I’m using oil. I’m buying oil at the prescribed time. It gets drained and new goes in. Do I add in between, no. My oil doesn’t even get dirty in 5k miles. I don’t even see any drop on the stick. I check in the same place. All is well.
