My old '05 Silverado 2500HD 6.0L had alot of room under the hood, 364ci gas Vortec even, they dont throw alot of bulk under the hood on the GMs which is kinda cool. Atleast I could see the spark plugs there.



Ah man the 8.1 Vortec 496ci with the allison trans, sure is a sweet pkg but I would never wanna have one of them 7mpg trucks.
yea man that 8.1 is a good deal but i bet it cant tow what it should....man im still waitin for a new 6.4 twin turbo ford powerstroke to come in! i hope i have to take it back to them so i can see what its made of!!!

Most cars todays are a pain to work on because there is so much in such a little space. I just did an alternator on a Saab - that sucked.

I could only imagine working on those small European cars. Yeah the hoses everywhere make it a whole lot worse. Just thinking about the SantaFe with the 3.5L Power Steering lines make me cringe lol.

Imports in general can be hard to work on but I'll take Japanese stuff over European, thank you very much. Just say no to BMW.
