After having a record cold December (and record gas bill) here in Chicago, January has been warm with most days in the 40's. April can't come fast enough.

MJ I think thats when you liked your Ford F150! Bill Mc ;D

[macojoe]

I have to admit it was a great snow truck!!!!!!!! I have never had anything better!!

Just could not put up with all the stuff breaking on that thing!! and the SOB's at Ford for not recalling what they knew were huge problems on all the trucks!!

But I have not used the Chevy in the snow yet?? So we shall see??

I did have some real nice AT tires on that Ford and this truck came with road tires so I am not expecting much from them :(
And I hate to not use brand new tires, But when its time or when I have the cash to blow they will get what I had before!

Bronco sucks!!!!!!! If you wantee a real truck I had a Full size Blazer man was that a beast!! I could go and tow anything with that thing!!

chevys dont die but they do rust away,MJ I did'nt know you were a surf rat

Had a 86 full k5 blazer, I built it for camping and the more serious off roading I was doing then. Rebuilt motor with all serious ignition and carb work. Both the 12 bolt rear and the front diffs lockers and tru-track in front. Dunlop radial rovers, Re did whole body for rust and new paint. This truck was an unstoppable beast took me and hunting partners places burro's did not like.Two years later completely rusted out again. Absolute total rust bucket, I loved her but could not afford to keep up with her. Had full size bronco, I sold it with 125,000 on her, never had a single problem once with her.

my bronco was a love/hate relationship,it was absolutely mint cond.,dark canyon red w/ cream top 32" tires, XLT I think it was,nice American rims and that 5 liter is a good motor. I had no problem selling it, first guy that looked at it bought it. Got back into a BMW after that sold.

[Pipe_Dream]

my bronco was a love/hate relationship
Mine, too. I had a '85 Silver/Black XLT with a soft top for summers, year round when I moved south. 8) I had the 5.0, too, with 31x10.50 A/Ts and Western turbine style wheels -- man, that was one sharp truck and it did great in the woods, too. I would still have it, but at around 125k it started leaving me stranded every other month with stupid relays and computer problems. Also, it was the first year for fuel injection and it showed. I hated to sell it, but I needed reliability (bought a used 4Runner which I still have with 146k on the clock and still a strong mutha 9 years later). But that Bronco was one fun truck while I had it. I still see it around, but it has gone to heck. :'(

[phester]

mine was about 10 years newer....you'da figured they'da worked the bugs out of it by then
