Chevrolet Silverado - Frame

[bestamerica]

'

no thank,,,

i dont like this truck

[gasripper2]

I forgot who came out with a fully box frame first? Hint they did not take a 50 billion dollar bail out!!!

[1999z71silverado]

@gasripper2 stfu im so sick of ford fanboys having the bailout as their only argument. ive had ford, dodge, and chevy trucks. the dodge was a complete joke, the ford was good but with in two years the hood started to rust and ford wouldnt fix it. the chevy preforms just as well as ford but let me tell you they treat their customers alot better and have better coverage. not to mention onstar which could save your life.

[gasripper2]

@1999z71silverado Wow angry person.

[1999z71silverado]

@gasripper2 im simply stating my relationship with ford and dodge

[gasripper2]

@1999z71silverado Mad bro, Mad bro

[1999z71silverado]

@gasripper2 u said the same thing twice?

[maedimaio]

i love howie i only get to see him in the chevy commercials so now where is he.

[blownutsmyass]

they still claim to be the longest lasting but they don't have a truck that made it to 1.7 million miles with stock motor, tranny, rear end ect.. wana know who does? google search > 1.7 million mile truck < and you will see who really makes the longest lasting truck.

[eelgrass76]

Fuck Chevs are ugly!!!

[CS1503]

@eelgrass76 Have you taken a look at the new Fords lately?

[123abcpa]

fords been useing hydrofourmed frames since the new F-150 (i think 2003) and the first ford hydrofourmed frames still have higher rateing then the new chevys that just figured it out.

[DieselFuelForever]

its funny how even though they upgraded their frame, they still got beat by FORD, F-150 has best in class capacity and towing....just saying

[makattak88]

Ford has a stronger frame and better over all chassis. It is the reason people like Ford.

[metamorabirds98]

@makattak88 yeh im sure people like ford becuase of the frame, get off youtube kid

[MARKsic33]

I wonder why they didn't compare trucks in this video?? Oh wait I know why...because Ford has a bigger and stronger frame!!

[landon460]

Well one can only hope they improved the frame on the new trucks because everyone who knows anything about trucks knows that the old chevys had the worst frames ever built. Almost every older chevy had a cracking frame problem if it was worked at all.

[marco39576]

Don't bother with this frame! The F-150's is far, far superior. It's just a fact. The Ford's is greater in section hight and has more torsional resistance. In layman's terms, the F-150's is way better.

[arispe04]

ford has always sucked ass..u havent figured that out yet..how many times has it fucked up on u.. worthless... fords are worthless..

[landon460]

I never got a reply about chevys being gay french fag vehicles. Did you read that or are you not answering because your in denial about how gay the truth of chevys is?

French immigrant fag.

[CHEVYHEAVON]

Haha you're just a sissy, just like landon460. You ford guys are something else. I have drove plenty of fords, NO balls and dont run for shit. It's about time ford is going to make a bigger v8 gas engine. The 5.4 just isnt cutting it, its a slug. And they are coppying chevy's 6.2L haha GAY.

Chevrolet power is where its at, you'll learn some day.

[landon460]

@CHEVYHEAVON First, learn to spell. Second, they are not copying a thing. 6.2 is just a displacement number. The motor is completely different. Trust me, nobody wants to copy a chevy motor. Chevy sure does like to copy others though. Ever look at a new chevy truck tailgate? Sure is funny where they chose to put the symbol huh? Just like Ford. How do you like your IFS one tons? How gay!!!

[landon460]

@CHEVYHEAVON Your were bashing the '07 Ford for having to have new axle seals and u-joints at 35K.....so what. If you knew anything about working on trucks such as I do you would know that that stuff is routine maintenance. Hell, it's just about every other truck that comes into our shop that needs at least one u-joint replaced on it somewhere and we work on all makes and models. What a moron. I suppose your gonna say you think fords suck because you have to change the oil too??

[arispe04]

my bad i was on my week off and in corpus christi pulling those god damn worhless fords out of the sand, they even had 4x4..thats fucken sad..i aint the partyin type anymore i got that shit over with,but its funny i have my 08 dmax 4x4, z71,LTZ, and the girls flock over to my truck and jump in the back while im driving and they actually laughed at the 3 fords i pulled out..they had lifts with mud grapplers and not even than can cover up the fact that FORD sucks..even girls know it..FUCK FORD

[landon460]

Boy you guys are a bunch of moron chevy assholes!!! I knew more about engines when I was 16 than most 5 chevy guys put together. I wouldn't drive a chevy again if my life depended on it. How can you guys say that what I a saying is not the truth when you are not living in my area and seeing what I'm seeing? Oh, I know why, because you are a bunch of inbred chevy tards that cannot be told the truth. You live in a chevy fantasy but sorry to say chevrolets(French bullshit) are garbage.

[arispe04]

ur a idiot..really ur a fucken idiot.. yeah what u say is pure bullshit.. u wanna come on here and talk shit.. well back up what u say..no way ford is better than chevy, so ur fucked there already, what the fuck can u say now? hell idk why u come on here talkin shit,when ur ass knows ur gonna lose..u see what i mean ford bitches like u are always gettin shut up,..so ur done with bitch, ur fucked here son..cant wait to hear from ur ass again, ill ready to shut u the fuck up day or night.FUCK FORD

[landon460]

I love how inbred fucks such as yourself are always like, "I'm gonna shut your ass up motherfucker" or "I'm gonna kick your ass". How exactly do you plan on accomplishing that genius? This is a computer fued!! This just proves how stupid you are so why don't you do the world a favor, call the junkyard and have them come get your piece of shit chevy. Then eat some rat poison and do the world a favor.

[landon460]

Keep talking tard. It just proves my point. Oh, by the way.....Chevy's are shit.

[landon460]

You guys are morons. That being said I can get to the main reason why you guys changed the subject and started bashing me, chevys have weak frames. It's funny how the commercial is boasting the chevys frame when in fact the truck community knows that chevys are known for weak frames. The point being 73-87 trucks. I don't know about the new trucks because I have not tested one but lets hope they have greatly improved over the years because the 73-87 were the worst frames ever, hands down!!

[marco39576]

I couldn't have put it better myself. This aspire04 guy has to be the biggest fucking Chevy moron on the face of the planet. Nothing intelligent ever to say but "I'll have the last word" or "I win on this." Only succeeds in showing the world how trully stupid he really is because he cannot articulate an intelligent answer. Typical Chevy cheerleader who really doesn't know how prehistoric GM 1500s are and how F-150s are far superior. He's too stupid to see beyond his own fantasy world.

[arispe04]

articulate..dont be tryin to sound smart..ur a dumb fuck..remember u drive a ford truck..

[arispe04]

man it must really suck to drive a ford..haha what a loser.. for real man u let people see u in that piece of shit,, wow i will say u have more balls than me there..i would never drive one of them trucks ever.. EVER.. fuck that..

[landon460]

Boy you are one stupid idiot. First off, I don't get mad about shit online because there is no way to end it for the most part. Second, you are just doing the same thing as before. The same thing all inbred chevy morons do. They say chevys are better and then someone asks for stats proving that and all they can say is..."DUHH, Chevys are better, durr..I'm an inbred hick" I have not met one single chevy guy that could give cold hard facts about why their piece of shit is suppose to be better.

[landon460]

If you want proof that Fords are better, just look up statistics on the 460 compared to the 454. The 454 is a joke. Most are low deck, weak bottom end, bad oiling, overheating, pieces of shit. They are just about the most overrated engine ever. But thats Chevys marketing for you. All they ever did was say how great their engines were and overrate their horsepower numbers. Ha, last month I was cleaning my shop and I threw out 2 454 motors.

[CHEVYHEAVON]

Lol landon460 you're a douche. Fords are junk, gutless, junk with no balls. 5.4L in a 1 ton? C'mon now, they need more power. And yes an 07 which is almost new with less than 40k needing the front diff rebuilt??

You're going to tell me i know nothing about cars/trucks? I work on them every day. I just put a fuel pump and alternator and belt on my tracker i just picked up.

Ford blows sweetie

[landon460]

You are obviously talking out your ass because new u-joints doesn't count as the front diff being rebuilt. You have no clue about vehicles. That shit is routine maintenance and it gets done to every type of vehicle. You don't even remember what you where lying about in your last post. Before it was new u-joints at 35K and now its a diff rebuild at 40K. The only way to say bad shit about Fords is to make it up. HAHAA what a fag you are.

[landon460]

Junk huh? Every magazine that has done new tests with chevy and Ford have had Ford come out on top. Since the duramax diesel came out they have put up horsepower and torque numbers greater than dodge and Ford every year but in every real contest conducted both dodge and Ford beat duramax equipped trucks every time. Just like chevy overrating their vehicles to look better but anyone who does real work knows to buy Fords or dodges. Chevy=bunch of lies and a bunch of crap.

[landon460]

@CHEVYHEAVON Drive your gay french wannabe true-blue crap chevrolet. I'll keep driving real American vehicles and never having problems with them. Chevy drivers are closet case inbred morons that don't know how to drive on public roads without causing wrecks.

[bottzxI32]

@landon460 We chevy guys don't care about actual facts, and knowledge. Our opinions are all that matter. Ford sucks! Fucking Always Rusting Daily! OUCH! You just got PWNED! CHEVY PWNS!

[landon460]

@bottzxI32 Chevy guys and liberals don't care about facts. All they care about is boasting their false facts and blatent lies. Also, don't use dork internet terms with me. Anyone who writes owned like that is retarded. What are you 10?

[bottzxI32]

@landon460 I'm not ten, but I have the brain capacity of a ten year old.  I don't actually know shit about cars, but since I like Chevy, I fit right in. CHEVY PWNS!

[marco39576]

@arispe04 shut the fuck up, you idiot. You don't know what you're taking about. You never have anything intelligent to say, just "oh I have the last word." It only shows your lack of intelligence. I challenge you to list five areas where the 1500 Silverado is better than the F-150 and remember, be intelligent. Don't be your typical Chevy moron. You're up. Go for it. Give it you're best shot.

[arispe04]

thats easy.. well actually all i have to say is its a chevy.. that sums it all up.. thats worth 100 areas where the truck is better..ha that was easy. what else u got

[landon460]

I like how they are talking about how "The frame is the foundation of the truck". Well in that case most ever chevy truck made from 73-87 has a broken backbone. hahaha.

[CHEVYHEAVON]

the guy was working his truck hard pushing snow. I DO IT MYSELF. We have an 06 ford f250 with a western v-blade at my work with 37k and already had to rebuild the front axle! You got that backwards anyway, its dodges that are pouring trans fluid out the bottom, and the fords on the side with their hood up.

[landon460]

@CHEVYHEAVON You were not in any of the situation I mentioned so you don't know shit. The shit dodge was a '10 model so I don't think it was worked hard yet. I have a 95 F250 plow truck with nearly 300K on the ticker and it's still plowing ever year. Also, how do I have it backwards asshole? I'm just telling you what I see every year. 9 times out of 10 that I see a truck being towed, hauled on a flatbed, or broke alongside the road, it's a chevy truck sitting there like a rock.

[CHEVYHEAVON]

I looked at your page, doesnt seem like you're even old enough to drive. Every bit of what you said is a made up story. Every bit of what i said is 100% true. Lets face it, you dont own a truck, you own a ford escort if you're even old enough.

[landon460]

The truth hurts guy. Ford rules the roost and chevy's are known for having weak frames. Ask anyone in a truck based off-road sport they will tell you that almost every 73-87 chevy has a crack somewhere on the frame(mostly at the steering box). Your a moron for doubting me and for driving a chevy. My army of big-ass Ford trucks would make you piss your pants chevy boy.

[CHEVYHEAVON]

That is if you even own a truck, go on and explain your "army of ford trucks" I'm a moron for driving a chevy? My 86 3/4 ton 4x4 lifted 9" on 35s with a built 454 will shit on your ford.

But hey atleast you're not bragging about a jap car.

[landon460]

Yes you are a moron driving a chevy truck. With 35's, a big-block, and a 3/4 ton dana 44 front, you haven't got much to beat on. Must suck having to lift it 9" to fit 35's huh? Gotta hand it to GM for designing squared fenders for round tires! haha. My 78 Bronco, and 96 F350 fit 35's stock. My 77 F250 fits 38's stock. I could go on. By the way, the 454 is a lump of shit unless built up. Yes, you would piss on your little chevys seats if you saw me driving towards you in any of my Fords.

[CHEVYHEAVON]

Lol you're not fitting 35s on a stock truck, and you're defianitly not fitting 38s on a stock truck. Let's stop kidding yourself budd, you own a ford escort. If i saw you driving your ford escort i would park on your hood!!

[landon460]

And you probably drive a cavalier so who cares? You need to learn about trucks before you try to talk to a truck guy like me. You cannot fit 35's on a stock chevy but you can on many stock ford trucks. 77 Ford hi-boys can fit 38.5" tires stock and 78/79 broncos with quad shocks can fit 35's. Boy you don't know anything do you. Thats not a question.

[arispe04]

if i saw ur ford comin at me i wouldnt even put it in 4 high... i run over u in 2 wheel drive bitch.. and a bronco haha.. u go from talkin about pussy ass ford trucks to ford broncos..damn bitch ur just a fucker that keeps rollin down hill with fuck ups huh.. haha ur a joke just like that junk ass ford u have.. so again FUCK U AND FORD

[landon460]

Broncos? what the fuck are you talking about?

[arispe04]

whats up man.. hey i got this fucker landon460 keep reading what im gonna be tellin his ass.. ill set him straight like i do all these ford fags, who dont know shit about trucks,

[CHEVYHEAVON]

@arispe04 haha hell yeah man thats what im talking about, that guy landon460 is a douchebag for sure.

Chevy, for pulling out fords and dodges.

Chevy= eatin fords, n shittin dodges!!

FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS DRIVE FORDS!! LOL.

CHEVROLET LIKE A ROCK!!!

FORD NOT BUILT TOUGH :)

[landon460]

Just like a chevy moron. All you guys can do is belt out acronyms but you have no real world stats or knowledge to back up any of your boasting. All you can say is "Fuck Fords, chevys rule" or Found On the Road Dead". Well let me tell you inbreeders what, nothing you have said in any way backs up your comments it only makes you sound even more unintelligent just like Marco said.

[landon460]

Don't you guys find it kind of funny how Chevrolet says "Chevy, and American Revolution", "Chevrolet, the heartbeat of America" when Louis Chevrolet was a french sissy faggot who immigrated. Sure he was born in Switzerland but his family is french just like the name Chevrolet. Ever look at the Corvette symbol? It has the French fleur-de-lis (flower of the lily, seen on the right side of the flag) is a French symbol meaning peace and purity. You dumb hicks don't even know what you drive. HAHAHa.

[arispe04]

aww yall ford faggots are all the same .i honestly feel sorry for yall..yall dont know shit..and dude ur fucken dumb with the whole inbreed thing, thats jus showin ur mad and that ur losing the argument..trust me i have shut alot of u ford drivin fattots up..dont u know chevys have more hp,torqe,and payload..the trucks looks way better too. if u want numbers we can get into numbers,then that will shut ur faggot mouth and have u teary eyed reading it..why would u drive a ford..for real..FUCK FORD

[landon460]

Sure you can say it has the most this and that but if you actually look it up you would see your talking out your ass. As for chevy being better looking....what-the-fuck!!!! The old trucks looked like shoeboxes with square fenders(pointless) and the new trucks have bodylines that do nothing to accent anything. The whole truck looks like a mistake that should have been erased from the drawing board. Stop saying you won the arguement because you have said nothing of fact or importance.

[marco39576]

@landon460 Yeh this arispe04 guy is an absolute tool. Only guy I know who actually succeeds in say a million things but at the same time says nothing.

[CHEVYHEAVON]

Lol yeah buddy ifs is actually a good set up. We have an 07 ford at my work with a western plow. It's one of the newest trucks we have in our fleet. It's only got 35k or so and we had to rebuild the front diff. (seals, u-joints,) and theres no grease fittings on it so shit wears out quick.

Face it, fords are dogs. Only ford i like is the 300 I6 engine.

[arispe04]

where u at landon..what a faggot name..ha anyway, u let me know if u want numbers, no way ur ford can compare to chevy, i have seen my friends f350 king ranch fuck up, and been it while it did,yeah i was embarrassed, he told me we should of brought my truck, an 08 silverado duramax z71,4x4.LTZ.. way better numbers than his junk ass ford, now he has and 3500hd dually, bastards trucks is more hp than mine..but at least he has a chevy,not that ugly ass ford,,again FUCK FORD there worthless

[marco39576]

you and that arispre04 tool have got to be about the biggest losers in the world. You think you're smart but you guys are actually quite dumb.

[arispe04]

haha ford.. now thats a joke.. ur ford couldnt touch a chevy.. ur ford doesnt have more hp,tourqe,payload,or towing..well god damn what the hell can ur ford do.. i know what it can do.. put it in drive and let it go into a lake where is belongs..thats if ur tanny dont stick...haha fuck u and fuck ur ford..u cant beat me on this shit..ur fucked!!!

[landon460]

I drive to work and back 400miles a week and for the 6 years I have worked my job I have never once seen a Ford truck found on the road dead. I repeat never. At least 5 times a year I see a chevy truck pouring tranny fluid from underneath or a dodge truck with the hood up and the driver scratching his head. Last month I saw a 2wd late 90's Ford ranger towing a broke down cummins equipped crew cab dually dodge with a plow on it. At the light the Ranger driver yelled to me the dodge tranny died.

[CHEVYHEAVON]

Yeah and you're a complete idiot, and you're full of shit! When me my father and his friend went to alabama from ohio we seen atleast 20 broken down fords. My dads friend doug is a ford guy (owns 09 f350) and we had walky talkys cause we were in seperate trucks towing trailors. I said broken down ford everytime i seen one, and the ONE time he seen a chevy he got to talk shit to me and my dad. That is 100% true story. Ohh big deal you seen a ranger pulling a dodge, thats because

[marco39576]

I don't mind the Silverado and in fact owned two since new, a 2004 and later a 2007. But I have to say that the frame in the Ford F-150 is much stronger and more superior than the one found in the Silverado.

[nitrostang50]

c"mon now guys,let me tell you my part of this,I had a 95 and a 04 silverado in the past,- to ME these are very nice trucks,they are good,but for me but I prefer a ford truck in the long run.-for me,,ford trucks just seems to be more of an investment and a long-term work horse,dont get me wrong,silverado is a good truck too.

[NinjaForeChrist]

You know what is hilaruious, that Ford released a series called truth about trucks and stripped the body of all the trucks to compair and chevy/gmc was the only truck to have no (thats 0) frame protection in the front! (engine exposed to easy salvage title) Ford of coarse had the strongest and more secure frontal frame. dodge was 2nd, toyota 3rd. so its not what their teling you on the outside, its also the truth about the inside and what it actually does.

[BTKBNMSteagles]

gay chevy sucks

[arispe04]

u suck.. chevy is the best my dmax will crush ur truck

[BTKBNMSteagles]

Nope (C)racked(H)eads(E)very(V)alve­(R)attles(O)il(L)eaks(E)ngine(­T)icks. Chevy is the worst car on the road today

[arispe04]

[BTKBNMSteagles]

haha funny i dont like ford bitch... and what was that? GM suffered a 1.2 billion dollar loss a few weeks ago? ya thats right, chevys a joke, buy a Dodge

[arispe04]

hey man u serious about dodge... NOW thats a joke.. and yeah they did suffer 1.2 or what not dollar loss.. its not just cause they dont sell trucks dumb shit.. GM is the worlds largest auto maker. when the economy went to shit everyone went broke. that means stupid ass that people didnt buy alot of all GM cars, like buick,caddilac, ect...and dodge. who cares about them they suck ass.. they arent even in the race bitch.. cummins is a joke..fuck u

[BTKBNMSteagles]

your a joke you faggot, nothing you said made sense, im talking about after the shit economy, recently, when everything started to come back asshole

[arispe04]

I own a 98 tahoe, a 2008 silverado 1/2 ton, my dad has a 2009 2500HD 4x4 w/ plow and salter, he has a 99 chev dumptruck 454 7.4L 4x4 5spd :) and mom has 2003 monte carlo. Yup, chevy family!!!!

[landon460]

@CHEVYHEAVON Yup I bet none of you graduated college.

[arispe04]

[marco39576]

Fuck Chevy, Government Motors!!!

[arispe04]

must suck to drive a ford..hahaha that shit sucks for u man... i bet ur ass is single, u dont know how to operate ur 4x4 if ford even can make a 4x4 that works, but hey u have nice seats and nice guages, u finally won something.."yaaaaaa we have nice seats" haha fucken losers

[PBasser84]

Listen, I respect that every one has their own personal preference, when it comes to trucks. Each truck has it's strengths and weaknesses. What pisses me off is when some one comes along, on a high horse and bashes every other brand, except for their own, due out of closed-mindedness. It's obvious you're a GM truck guy, we get that! Instead of belittling every one that doesn't drive a GM, why not let your truck do the talking? The truck talks and the bullshit walks!

[arispe04]

as do i...i know exactly what ur talkin about.. i come on here lookin at a good vid..but i read the comments and guess who is doing the disrespecting..ford guys mostly.. i have pride in my truck, if anyone says lies about it talkin down, yeah im gonna call em out, it ends up being a 2 month discussion on an issue, hell no i dont come on here just runnin my mouth, i hate that shit, im gonna call whoever out when i see comments sayin nothin but bull.. so now u have my take on all this

[nitrostang50]

ABSOLUTELY pbasser,I agree with you 100%.with all due respect.

[PBasser84]

I'm glad you're with me on this subject, man. There's just too much talk and not enough open-mindedness, when it comes to subjects, such as this. We should all look at the bigger picture and understand that there are people, out there, that would rather see us not driving trucks at all, or driving trucks under their tearms, such as the case with strict emissions. Brand loyalty asside, it's an issue facing all of us, who own a truck, or plan to own a new truck.
