    Chevys commercial says,
    Chevy the heartbeat of America.

    Should be

    Chevy the heartbreak of America.

    There, corrected that for them.

    Don't get me wrong I've owned GM Products in the past but I gave up on them, little BS stuff all the time.

    Went to Ford much better reliability.

    Then to Tacoma. Happy now.

    This is not a Chevy Ford bash, just my 2cts.

    Have you seen the Chevy commercial claiming #1 in reliability. Commercial starts with Honda covers over several vehicles which is what people expect then the pull those off to reveal Covers with Toyota written on them. Guess again. Those covers come off to reveal several Chevy models. I call BS. Maybe most reliable domestic but they definitely don't beat Toyota and Honda in reliablility.

    I recall seeing that Toyota sent a cease and desist letter to Chevy for that commercial, or one like it. Chevy skewed the results in their favor (surprise surprise)

    Hey guys, who likes a good joke...

    Been bothered all day from the low oil pressure issue this morning in the Sierra. Come home, still bothered, and start the 2500 up (mainly because there was nothing wrong with it last time I used it; racking my head over what can be going on; how expensive will this be, etc).

    Low oil pressure light is gone. Gauge at normal psi.

    Pic from this morning:
    448D5CFE-625F-4722-B8E7-64545B9E8CB6.jpg

    Pic just taken:
    7F50FDE2-1513-43D3-8374-E4576E379B55.jpg

    It’s snowing again so hopefully I’ll see some equity out of this truck and plow.
    Getting beyond frustrated with this thing.

    Commercials are one thing. Real life is another and I’m team toyota 100%.

    I was inside my house when I said it. And it’s older; not one of those newer ones with the internet so it won’t see this. Hopefully I’m in the clear for now. Till she starts pmsing again. It’s inevitable.

    U guys should start taking advantage of these credit cards that get you cash back.
    I made 1000$+ of my discover it card last year!:thumbsup:
    I just signed up for a new one, another 0%apr for 15 months, 150$ after I spend 500$ in 3 months (I can spend that in 5 seconds)
    Trick to them is to have it completely paid off!

    LOL

    What I really want, and need, is to have my deck re-done. Previous homeowner kinda did a shitty job with it. But I also think that IF I do it, I would want to do it "right", and go with that stuff that's supposed to last forever... but super expensive, so... kinda on the fence about it still because of the cost.

    I like the idea of the Trex & similar. last house had a Trex deck. You lay them really close & pine needles would clog up the deck & I'd end up with puddles in the low spots. You get low spots because no one beefs up the framing for them. The 'boards' need to be shorter runs or more bracing underneath because the heat will let them sag. So it's expensive, needs more structure, clogs, sags, pressure washers will scar it, the green stuff grows on it, …. oh! & if you have womens over & they wear them spikey heels - those spikes leave dents in it.

    But other than that it's good!
    TBH, I would use it on my porches, but they're narrow, covered & mainly just decorative v. used for entertaining.
