1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

My dad had to custom order his. V10 5-speed transmission J shift transfer case and manual hubs. They looked at him like he was an alien.

 

I'm not the one who ordered it.

 

i would too if i had someone actually want the v10

 

Yeah should of asked for a cummins...

 

I figured youd know why though. Why the v10, if you needed a 350 for light duty hauling and daily driving you get the v8. You get the diesel for heavy hauling or just being a diesel bro. You get the v10 if you want to do valve and head work a lot and have similar power as a V8 but use a lot more fuel haha

 

Come over and I'll take you for a ride. You think that death trap canyon was bad. Imagine the Beverly hillbillies jalopy. But in the form of a Ford F-350 with an 8 inch lift and 37 inch tires

 

It's a Ford not a Dodge

 

To my knowledge he got it because it was a Ford f350 super duty at the time we we went camping with a camping trailer

 

That’s where he went wrong

 

V10 makes a great uhaul

 

Lol, it sucks on fuel though and is just as lame as the v8 up a hill

 

nope. fords at least 3 times better than dodge. and dodge is 2 times better than chevy.



But i still wont own any of them.

 

I've had much better luck with Chevy than either of the others. Dodge for the longest time couldn't figure out how to make a transmission or electronics to save their lives, literally. GM has always kinda had their shit together even if nothing is all that exciting or fancy. And Ford is probably right up there with Chevy for me, they had some duds but for the most part they're decent and their engine management is usually top notch. Both a ford and a Chevy will run like crap for a long time haha

 

Know where he went wrong was neglect

 

I won't own a truck before the years 2005. I don't need Wi-Fi I don't need air conditioned seats I don't need an 8-inch tablet in my dashboard I don't need a bumper to a point where I only have 2 in of ground clearance

 

ive seen more rust issues with chevy than any of the big 3. The engines are all let downs other than the v8s. (which still manage to burn oil). Ford is doing ok... except for that fucking internal water pump bullshit!~
and well dodge. they make an all right looking car... mechanically they suck

 

good thing my tundra is an 05

 

American auto makers nowadays (mid 90s to present) were so aware that American car buyers (people that buy American brand cars) were bad owners that the computers and lot of components are designed with fail-safes for neglect haha. One example is the timing belt on the Mercury Villager and Ford Windstar. That is a Nissan engine that is interference and needs a new timing belt ever 60-80k. Ford was like, "hey that's cool and all but people that buy our stuff are bad owners so can you make it non interference so these mouth breathers can just change the belt when the engine stops working? thx Nissan senpai, we can't make our own good engine yet but we're trying"
