??Chevy problem sites??
Does anybody out there know where I can find a information site like the F150 message board that lists problems for Chevy trucks? I did try general searches for Chevy trucks but have not come up with any site with people having as many major problems as ford has with their trucks.Is this because ford has so many problems? Yes I have heard of Chevy having recalls but at least they admit their problems.. Anybody?????

Try this site. It's for the S series but has a bunch of other Chevy/GM links on it.

Maybe its just that Ford owners actually can type on a computer 
. (Sorry, no offense intended - that one was just too easy!!!)
I would have to say that I too haven't found a site with this much info and activity for any other make of truck. It is pretty unique. Is it because there are that many more F-150's/interested owners or is there perhaps no real reason for it? (Just happened to be a Ford guy who decided to start this website rather than a Chevy/Dodge guy) I hope its not because Fords have more problems!!!

RJ, Try this site: http://www.pacific-audio.com/perform...iscussion.html
This is about as big a "board" as I could find. I was visiting this board for about 1 1/2 years (while I had my Chevy)and is pretty informative. FWIW, I don't think Chevy is having any serious issues with the Silverado.
Frankly, I wish I would have kept my '99 Chevy 2500 CC instead of getting the Screw. Ford has to many strange things going on across the whole vehicle line between recalls on the Explorer to TSB stickers stuck on trannys to possibly incorrect radiators. I realize that all car makers have problems it just seems Ford doesn't want to handle them.
Just my 2 pennies...
