Clint.I'm with you. It's time for GM to get off the pot. I
ordered a new Impala SS in 96, then a Dale Earnhardt series 50th Anniv. NASCAR
1998 Monte Carlo Z34 CMI and my biggest headaches were with the Dealerships and
their BS. I called Gm 800 # and all I ever got from them was a confirmation #
and the run around. When I asked what about getting the Dealer to honor the
warranty they would tell me go to another Dealership. Find and dandy, but they
use computers and talk to one another and you get the run around again or the
Dealer says take it back to the orig. Dealer or where you bought the car. One
reason I buy a new car is for warranty and assurances, Bull, that just doesn't
wash any more. Sorry about my soap box fellas. Smitty

Man, even I, a die-hard GM fan, am compelled to consider a
Dodge truck. They outperform the GM trucks with price, performance, a
far better warranty, and possibly even quality. I've had very few
problems with my GM trucks (89, 94, 97, 2000), but I'm still considering a
Dodge.
WAKE UP GM!

stock,yesterday. As for the price,I've got a order form filled out on my
desk for a 1/2 ton four door Dodge with Hemi engine,Lone Star package with
polished 20" wheels,top of the line Infinity sound system,etc,definitely no
stripper. Price will be $24,700. I've always been a GM man but they do not
currently build a true four door 1/2 ton truck with full 6' bed. Neither
does Ford. On top of that,both GM and Ford are priced substantially
higher.Clint Hooper

I believe
last I heard the Hemi is only available in 3/4 ton and up trucks. No 1/2
tons. Also I really question you finding a hemi truck at under 25G's. Even
a stripped out 2wd, no option anything... probably would need to specially
ordered if ya did... But I could be wrong as I no real drive to buy
anything with a Dodge logo on it and haven't looked at them much. But yes
cool none the less though. Mikey

I have been waiting to drive one of the 1/2 ton four
door Dodge trucks with Hemi power and the Lone Star package(20"wheels).
Having driven just about every new truck out there with just about every
engine/trans combo,I can tell you the Hemi Dodge will smoke a Chevy
truck with the 6.0 engine. One truck I drove was a 3/4 ton longbed with
Hemi power & auto and it was pretty impressive for something so
heavy. One of the new 1/2 tons with that engine should be a fun
ride,especially for less than $25K.Clint Hooper
