I can make anecdotal statements like that about the duramax/allison combo because those had some really rough years. In fact, I can one up you- because my Dad and I both trailer quite a bit to parks in the NW we meet the people who actually tow loads with their trucks. There was a lot of frustration. We both own Dodges. You'll find that if you ask the diesel mechanics, most will say the Dodge is the most reliable product out there in the HD class.

However, I think GM has resolved most of those issues and I certainly don't think GM should fail because of it. GM makes great products and it pisses me off that some of you cry bloody murder when the Gov't leans on GM but send kisses and rainbows when they write Chrysler off.

Frankly, I don't think anyone in government is qualified to determine what qualifies as a going concern. The random and arbitrary feeling I get from the decision making process feels more appropriate for choosing prom-dresses then the survival of 50,000 employee companies.

F-ing
