Morning guys,


I got an old ford (not that old but still 20 years old). I'm not nice to the old gal. And she ain't the prettiest. Like most old gals she leaks a bit too.
With this extra chill we've been having I figured she'd quit on me. I dont plug her in or any other prep. The last 2 mornings she's fired right up like the faithful companion she has always been. I was a Chevy guy as a kid. Only reason I bought this ford was to get me between vehicles. But I've had less issues with her than any other make.

I was a die hard ford man til I got a bad one,bought one new in 1988 ran it 240,000 miles then plowed the driveway with it for quite a while .300 straight six with a standard 5 speed 4x4.loved the truck.!!

There's good and bad of every make. I've always been Chevy but with their latest closing of US plants and moving to Mexico, I'm done with them.

I'm a Ford guy, mostly because it's what I've always purchased, not for any real tangible reason. I guess I like their styling a little better. I don't think there's any real difference in reliability Cold starting, especially with an older vehicle, is dependent on a strong battery to getting cranking RPM up to speed, a working choke and high idle cam, and clean spark plugs with a strong ignition system. Any make or model can accomplish these things, or fail in them for that matter. My old Mitsubishi starts fine in the coldest of weather too, but it's butt ugly and struggles to go 75 mph into a headwind

Ha! I had a geo metro that was very similar. I had to floor it going down hill so I had enough momentum to go up the next hill. But it always started.

Best truck I ever had was a 2000 f350 v10 engine.

I got 300,000 miles out of it before I sold it to a guy that wanted a plow truck. No matter if I was pulling construction equipment or not the mileage stayed the close to the same.

Not only the miles on the motor but hundreds of hours idling while ice fishing. Lol

This is the same reason I will never look at GM again, and they have the balls to say Americas truck!

LOL And Ford has done the same thing. In fact, they already had the highest Mexico production rate. And now instead of increasing production in MI like they had said, more is moving to Mexico.
I can always count on fake internet outrage and hypocrisy to give my a chuckle.

I got three--95 F-150 4X4, 2010 F-150 4X4 with almost 350, 000 miles on it and a Ford Platinum 4X4. Two off them was pay off with southern coon hide money, lol.

2002 ranger 4.0 297,000 on it. It started right off yesterday -22*
