Ya right. Why would they put something on that doesn't need replaced?

Nooooo of course it doesn't because if it did they'd recall it and repair it all for free !

Yeah.... And why are all three going down the tubes... Don't you think they would use it if it would mean increased car sales......

Re: Attention TNTU mechanics / parts guys

I think their problems go way beyond that.

They need to make a car that won't break down after 50,000 miles. That is why they are going down the tubes. Sell a reliable vehicle that can be resold after 100,000 miles and they might be able to turn sales around.

And simple shit like weather stripping that doesn't freaking shrink after one winter.

The big three don't hold a candle to Toyota, Honda and Nissan when it comes to making cars and trucks. Those are the new "Big Three".

I want to get a 4Runner. Not outstanding on gas, but I should get about 8 mpg better than now.

Re: Attention TNTU mechanics / parts guys

It's all about money.They make the vehicles to break down, that way you will have to spend money to buy another one. Same reason why we do not have 14 different types of fuel out there. Money. The oil companies buy out the people with these ideas just so they never see the light of day.

Re: Attention TNTU mechanics / parts guys

I hope you mean "brands" of fuel. Because there are currently 42 different types of fuel refined in the U.S. Depending on what State mandates are... One of the biggest reasons for high fuel costs.

Re: Attention TNTU mechanics / parts guys

and go anywhere, what type of fuel do those vehicles take?


Oh, sure. You could remodify your engine to take a different type, but who has the cash/resources to be able to do so?

Re: Attention TNTU mechanics / parts guys

A car will run on any of them. But it's what comes out of the tail pipe as emissions is what the states are worried about...

Re: Attention TNTU mechanics / parts guys

a car off the showroom floor will not run off of propane, vegetable oil..... Not without some serious revamping.
