I have a 2004 Silverado Z71 that takes me back to the 1960’s, where everything on your car broke, right down to the heater fan control. I swore my 1980 Buick skylark would be my last GM vehicle, but I thought I’d give ‘em one more chance.

Never again. Ever.

I have a 2000 with close to 300k. I've gone through about a dozen fan resister modules, 5 or 6 heater control servos. Always had a driveline clunk and steering wheel shake no matter how many revised driveshaft yokes and intermediate steering shafts I put in (out of warranty of course).

It's hard to believe GM had been making trucks for 100 years before putting out the 800 series trucks. Then there's the rust eating it away from the inside out...

I have a 1979 Buick station wagon with over 213,000 miles that I have been driving for over 36 years.

I also have a 1976 Chevy 1 ton dually 454 truck with a 4 speed Granny Low transmission that has over 348,000 miles on it. I have driven that truck over 32 years, towing horse trailers.

Normal maintenance, and Summit gives me NO GRIEF about needing pats for old vehicles. They NEVER have let me down.
