Ford or Chevy?

Question

Which do you prefer?

Answer 1

TOYOTA

Answer 2

Chevy.

For older cars, Chevy engines were a lot easier to work on than Fords. Ford designers seemed to hate home mechanics. They would take the part of the car most likely to fail and see if they could hang every other piece of the engine from it.

You needed to change the water pump on a Chevy? Remove the belt and the old water pump, put in the new water pump and re-install the belt.

You need to change the water pump on a Ford? Remove the belt, remove the alaternator, remove the power steering, remove the air conditioning compressor, then you can finally remove the water pump. Naturally, the new water pump won't fit the pulley, so spend an hour grinding the shaft on the water pump so it will barely fit into the pulley (with enough force), then re-install all of the parts you removed. On the Ford of a friend of mine, the starter had a bracket for the fuel lines welded to it, making it virtually impossible for a home mechanic to do something as simple as replacing a starter.

Now a days, I don't think there's much difference. Need to replace a water pump on either a Ford or a Chevy? Pay a mechanic four to six hundred dollars to do it, because you have to practically disassemble the entire engine to reach the water pump.

Personally, I prefer older Jeeps. They seem like they're designed to be repaired out on a dirt road with a Swiss army knife and some barbed wire borrowed from the nearest fence.

Answer 3

I've owned lots of each, and still have 3 fords & 1 chevy. I'd have to give ford the edge for reliability.

Answer 4

I would rather push a Chevy than drive a ford

Answer 5

Well, i have an 88 chevy sierra. it has very doctored up 454 in it. but noone knows unless i either tell them or they see it or they know the sound. Me and a guy who had a 2002 ford F-250 hooked the chains up, and i dragged him down the road backwards. (for those of you who dont know, hooking the chains up means just what i said, you park the trucks, tailgate to tailgate, and you hook really strong chains up to each other, and then you put the trucks in drive, punch the gas, and whoever is going forward, not backwards wins.) So, to conclude my story.... Chevy is better. The very best never rest.

Answer 6

I prefer Chevy because they're inexpensive, plentiful, and with the galvanized bodies, they make just as good a boat anchor as Fords.

Answer 7

Well I like driving the ford cars and they are pretty well bulilt. However some models have transmission problems. My sister had a transmission problem but still likes her ford because the dealership has given her great service and took care of the problem.

Answer 8

Chevy all the way baby. Like a rock!

Answer 9

I've never owned a ford but don't think I would unless it was a truck. I've owned GM's (Chevy) and they have been recalled more times than I care to think about. The right answer to your question is Toyota....
