Ford Tremor vs Chevy ZR2 HD

If it’s the 10 speed tranny then it’s the same model used by GM and Ford. It had a lot of problems and was developed jointly by Ford and GM. Which sort of shine a light on the issue with their current run of junk. The number of recalls on the Ford mavericks we have at work is unreal. Touch screen and radio and NAV system lock up constantly and just randomly reboots. One blown motor and both front cv axles replaced at 25k and 50k. Only took 6 weeks at the dealership to get the CV axles in hand and installed….

I won’t buy another new vehicle in my lifetime. You can get a better return on investment in Vegas.

That's a good way to put that.......

Well, I replaced my transmission at 15,000 miles

Which transmission was that?

I've heard horror stories about the baby Duramax vehicles. That's not the type of vehicle I'm looking at anyway but I do hate that for you.

I was just at the gas station with my 94. Guy pulls up in a 86 F350 dually. We talked a while about these new junk trucks........Now that E4OD tranny ain't the best, but it's better than the new ones, I think. The 86 I had never had any trans problems. And I backed my boat up a steep driveway. Every time I did, my mechanic best friend grit his teeth. He said one of these days it was goin to let go, but it never did.

Now see, a E4OD is a turn off to me. I can't speak for everyone but the 6R140 in my 2017 seemed to be a good transmission. Never had any issues.

The E4OD overheats too easy, but it last as long as a C6. Better mileage, but it cost more to fix. Kind of wash, but the engine will last longer due to less RPMs. The 86 trans was good. Who knows how long an Allison will last. The Dodge tranny is a little better than the Ford

Just looked that up. Sounds like a good motor. I wonder if you had gotten a 2500 if it would've been any better

You can thank the Fed's for new vehicles being both expensive and garbage. Regulations have killed the auto industry.
