Dear Chevrolet Forum,

Thanks! I have never owned a Chevrolet (Chevy is a nickname like Rob is to Robert) but I've always fond them well designed and aesthetically pleasing.

I also really enjoy these animations, I find them helpful/informative and artistically, above average:


...at the risk of sounding like a contrarian, many manufacturers create products with fragile parts to deter stealing and funding of the black market economy. "Never touch a fan-belt, Arlo" -dad

Welcome to the forum.

 

Thanks, I was raised in and around dual fuel system (propane [C3H8] and gasoline [C8H18] late 1970's model Ford F-150 truck.
Here are some elements of truck ownership that may concern you and require insight🤔:

1) electronic systems (such as keyless entry and bed-gate opener) that may not be individualized and could be used on other trucks of the same make and model, (think master-key)

2) the implications of N.A.F.T.A. (North American Free Trade Agreement) on one's ability to find parts and/or read manuals

3) the emergence of new technology and it's implication on law/"street-legal" (for example refrigerants such as R-134 which is now the industry standard but may become outdated after this post has been posted)

4) the effect of consumer opinions and the media on truck design and specifications

5) Chevrolet trucks in the workforce and the ramifications of government intervention on use or disuse

...I look forward to learning about Chevrolet trucks with ya'll online and I'm thankful for car-enthuiast forums as an outlet for the possible predisposition of my nature as an American (a country with a fairly recent history of legal slavery) to want to own things, hablo espanol, TTYL🤔😕

 

Enjoy the forum. Please leave any political comments (slavery) at the door. 😊
