It's 27 years old.  What did you expect?

The good news is antique tags are cheaper and you won't have to have it emisions
tested.  Least not here in Maryland.

I hear chevy 07 model 2500hd has a heated tail gate, it keeps your a.s varm
waiting for AAA or your hands warm as you push it off the road.

Strange... with the fuses good, and the ignition switch good, the engine
should run fine...

Chris, you're preaching to the choir director, my friend.

I've owned one chevy, a '56 210 sedan; one Ford, a 65 Falcon; two AMC's, A
65 Ambassador and a 78 Concord; a 67 Buick LeSabre; 64 Honda CT-50; 66
CB-160; 72 CB-450; a couple not-running Suzuki dirt bikes; (except for the
Suzukis, I've been left stranded by all of them) ...

and I've had:

a 64 1/2 Barracuda
68 Road Runner
65 Barracuda
72 Charger (ex wife's kid brother blew it up)
65 Dart GT (a control arm rusted in two, but I could still drive it home,
engine used to replace frozen 273 in 64 Valiant)
64 Valiant (made into a ranchero style pickup and kept on going)
65 Valiant ( gave engine and trans to 64 Valiant, 65 Dart engine still
running at 385,000 miles)
71 Charger
72 B-350  LWB van (wrecked by wife)
68 Fury III( trans went out at home)
79 D-150 LWB( engine quit in driveway, rebuilt and is still running for my
oldest son)
95 Chrysler Lebaron ( rebuilt trans at 87000 miles but then it has the
A-604)

and a 1952 Cushman 60 series RoadKing motorscooter which is still under
construction. (VBG)

Actually, I've had several great cheby pickups... but I wouldn't want one that
they'd built in the last 15 or 16 years..

Agreed. But the new Z-06 is a hell of a car.

the Z06 is nice..ill give them that. and my grandfather's 75 gmc 1/2 was
without trouble so is the 92 roadmaster but those are the exception in my
family. that being said this morning was case in point. walked into the
garage to go to church. and low and behold coolant under the wifes durango.
(now in my past experiance with chevy's it would have waited till we were on
the road) well no biggie we took the 2500 and picked up the new water pump
on the way home. got it changed out tonight and she's good to go for the
next 100k *grin*

The durango wasn't really "leaking" like a cheby would....
It was just marking it's territory..

that's a multi-part question... like can you throw a Harley in a lake..

Yes, but you probably won't be able to lift it in one piece, parts will drop
off..
