Well its my first GM. Im a ford man myself but my wife wanted a chevy venture so I got her a 2001. So far ive had the AC condenser replaced and the back head gasket is now leaking at 50,000mls I wish it was a ford. I have a 1990 ford f150 with over 300,000mls I did replace the motor in it though at 177,000 so they all have problems but fords arnt as many.
