My hubby had a Ford truck that lasted for 26 years before he sold it. 416,000 miles on it. The engine was rebuilt and it went through master cylinders like crazy. We also had to have the carburetor rebuilt twice.

And, for those who say FORD was Found On Road Dead. I was the one who hear "F***ing Old Rebuilt Dodge. Hubby disagreed. We have been a Ford family for a lotta years. Mine is a Mercury, but hubby has two Fords now. 1995 Explorer 4X4 and a 2000 Expedition with 4 wheel drive.

I learned these names back in my automotive machinist days. Some machinists
called stupid Fords, Chevys and Dodges.

DHB's former Jeep wasn't old as hell, it was 2003 model as far as I remember (please correct me if I am wrong, DHB)

JClarke, ya got a star sticker on your forehead!

That is right! His Jeep Wrangler that he traded in was 2003.

Mine is 1998 and I still won't sell it! It is tough Jeep we ever had!

Not both Jeep, Jake. Just his Jeep. We won't sell my Jeep Cherokee. His Jeep's tranny may have some trouble, but not 100% positive. When I drove to 60 MPH and it shook a while thing! I was like WTF?! I told him about that (while he was truck hunting) and other thing that it is too small for our family. And where to put this or that?! So we have enough for almost 3 years. Yes we have wonderful memories with our old Jeep Wrangler. So he is very happy with Ford F250. I'll ask him if ok to post picture on it. So smooth and even I fell asleep! So comfortable!

Jiro, wrong...his old Jeep is only 2003....it starting have some trouble....he found out that before 2000, Jeep are great but after 2000, sucks. So now we know. I don't mind buy another Jeep Cherokee. However I wanted a new SUV.

No, should have been a little clearer, sorry, Mercury Sable GS. I'm stuck with the car. Can't climb into the larger vehicles anymore.

Sorry for not reply you. I think I've seen your post in another thread, I now understand clear. No problem. I was thinking about someone can donate you a special handicap van like a Dodge/Chrysler mini van with lifting ramp for a wheelchair. IF I get a HC mini van and fix up and good mechanical sound then donate you one.

Hey, guys. I've not see someone reply my post. I guess you guys, are not familiar with Chevrolet before. Here is Chevrolet that people called them is loose valve rocker arms where the locked nuts were giving out themself, sounds like rapping valves.( valves won't open). Also history of oil leaks from the engines such as V/C, oil pan, fuel pump gaskets or oil seals. Today's Chevy engines are better but still oil leaks from oil pans. Same shit story.

I am not old school tech and I am not familiar with Chevy's valve in history.

I saw dodge challenger's cylinder head had to replace due misfire. Other vehicle (GM, can't remember what model it was) had to replace whole camshaft due knock issue.

Where did you saw it? Can you explain why the camshaft replaced due to knock issue?

My workplace and I saw a issue right next to me. I asked to auto tech and he said, "it got knock issue"

I don't really bother to ask why why why? It's kind annoying. Since auto tech looks like bad mood when he was repaired on the car. That's all I asked what was issue.

I googled up myself

Engine Noises | Knocking and Ticking | Common Causes

Quote:

Too much end play in the camshaft or crankshaft
Loose or improperly seated camshaft timing gears are usually loudest when warm. They are speed sensitive only. They are not load sensitive.

Cam gear noise will usually be evident at a warm idle in neutral and sounds much like a loose timing chain noise.

Camshaft that you mentioned, is innocent for knock issue and nothing do with excessive end play, only to the loose timing gears.
If you no agree with me, do reading them again.

I never said 4x4 never work. Just that my wife's Cherokee couldn't disconnect the front wheel drive into 2x4. Other than that not really.

The main reason why I traded up with my 2006 Super Duty Harley Edition is mostly space and comfort. Wrangler themselves have positive, it can easily park, can go though crampy woods, cheaper to own. While my truck, I can haul anything and still bring my family along. I can't do that with Wrangler.

We STILL have that Jeep Cherokee and we will be hitting 10 years of ownership on Cherokee.

Im ex loyal to GMC/Chevy. I am sorry I had to show em both of my middle fingers! I had nightmares with them few years ago.
