Replaced the trans in our impala several times and the 07 Silverado ate oil like water with it's AFM issues.
I get my info from the numbers on a specific model. Go on the GM-truck forum and the ram forum and see who is having more issues with their trucks.
Every manufacturer has models with issues, when it comes to light duty trucks chevy has more than others.
Furthermore, I do not care that you are a fanboy. Go rain on someone else's parade. Trying to make others bitter because you are bitter.
Just ignore the negativity. The hemi engine is more than proven itself to be the top of the heap as far as truck engines go and having 5 of them in our family from various years I can say I've NEVER had nor seen a single issue with them.
They are a great truck and dollar for dollar the best value going.
Chevy has a whole new engine coming out which the public will beta test for them,not that I anticipate there being problems but let's face it that the possibility exists.
If I was buying new the hemi is on the top of my list. Their engine tech is proven durable,the trucks are very nice and when comparing the big 3 as a whole in my opinion they are the smallest risk.
Haters gonna hate and I'm a mustang guy,but I'm also a sensible person and given the choice between hemi or Eco boost I'll go with hemi every time.
