I would agree with that. Seems there is more for the driver in the Ford and more for the passenger in the GM. I've done some 1000 mile days in my Chevy and have never felt like it was a problem though.
Ditto on the 1000 mile days. I could never do that in my fords but it was more of a seat thing than a room thing.
sorry new guy here... figured id just throw this out there.. i work for a service company, and we have ford and chevys in our fleet.. granted they are cargo/service trucks.. from my experience with the two i can say the chevy rides and handles alot nicer than the ford.. but the ford is a more durable vehicle and lasts longer.. the chevys are too temperamental..
hence why i bought one of our ford e250s to turn into my own adventure van..
I think the Vortec engine is very good. I have a 2008 GMC with the 6 liter and 4 speed auto. Not fuel efficient, but solid. A later model with more gears would be nice.
What do you want to know?

Triton's don't usually blow head gaskets, especially without a proceeding cause. And even then, it's rare, since they have the fail-safe cooling system.
Really hard to see since the crossmember and right exhaust manifold is in the way.. The seeping looks like it’s at the head/block mating surface. Coolant is in the exhaust. No water/oil mix however.
No matter now. Three hrs on CL fir $100 and its gone

There was no early warning . It just started to leak. Was hoping it was a heater core.
It went from bad to worse quickly. Was able to see one freeze plug but no others .
