We had a V6 back in 1980. In order to get the mileage the imports had they made the metal so thin that the hood would ripple on the highway like tinfoil. The radio being mounted vertically was also just plain dumb. Did they really think any aftermarket companies would design a stereo for such a piece of junk? The radio was AM only.

[@rockybass9764]

Scotty! Here’s a little inside info on the GM light truck rear end / front end differentials. GM sold American Axel to the company that took the manufacturing to Mexico. Now when it was American Axel, they did a partial pre-assembly of the Ring and Pinion gears and punched marked them so they new exactly which teeth had to match up. They then lapped in the ring and pinion to make them a matched set. After the set was lapped into tight tolerance, the set was dis-assembled, cleaned and final assembled to the punched marks they had been lapped into. Now when the assembly went to Mexico, they still lapped In The ring & pinion gears, but without the punch marks to match them back up. So after they were lapped, dis-assembled and cleaned, when they put them back together for final assembly the units have a mix-matched set, which have an oscillation of various degrees depending how out of match they are put back together. This resulted in so many warranty claims, GM brought back the differential production to Grand Rapids, Michigan where they completely refurbished 1/2 of a GM plant. To your point, all about profits.

[@xXBlackestManXx]

my jaw hit the floor when he said the rear diffs came out of the factory with the equivalent of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND miles on them. Pure ineptitude costing them loads, and as scotty pointed out, the taxpayers end up with the brunt of the cost down the line.

My grandmothers Cadillac had a recall for the spring that holds the car key in place. If too much weight was on key it could slip out. But instead of replacing the spring when she went to the dealership they just put a cap on her key ring loop so she can’t put it back on a key ring 😂

I don't like how they're making efficiency changes in the cost of reliability. I'll take a mechanical water pump over an electric one any day. Look at the n54 n55 BMW engines.

Maybe but Scotty is right where most manufacturers think short term in terms of quarters maybe a few years. But thinking in terms of decades with vision, purpose, and exciting investors could be way more profitable in the long run if your product is consistently reliable and somewhat exciting. Tesla is a good example, so is Toyota with boring yet crazy reliable cars.

Scotty points out the main reason you don't buy an American Car: PROFIT. Quality does not equate with PROFIT. And, American Companies do not WANT to make a reliable long lasting product, they WANT their cars to break or wear out so that you come buy another one. So that they can PROFIT. Ford gets out of the CAR market because they won't make enough PROFIT by putting enough QUALITY into their product to make them desirable.

The old "Toyota trucks don't break" is dead. After the market collapse in 08 every single manufacturer took a major hit to quality. Even the ones who didn't go bankrupt. They all started looking for more ways to save money..... which means cheaper parts. Toyota chose to go cheap on their suspension and frame materials. Now Tundra's and Tacomas are rusting away and needing complete front end rebuilds. Front end suspensions on the newer gen Tundra and Tacoma has terrible longevity. Starting at around 2013 or so. Toyota isn't what it used to be. My qualifications: I've been a mechanic for nearly 20 years now. I've watched the not-so-slow decline. I've seen the rusted frames and I've rebuilt more Toyota front ends than I care to admit. Also my nephew works on the assembly floor at the Tundra factory in San Antonio. He has all sorts of stories about the cost cutting and cheaper manufacturing. I miss the old Toyota when longevity truly was king. Like the old saying goes, "They don't make them like they used to."

@ bngr bngr. I don’t know about the latest ones, but I’ve driven ones from 10-20 years ago extensively. Tacoma’s are the better vehicle hands down. If you’re going to buy new, get a Tacoma. Used, I’d get a Ranger. The Rangers aren’t garbage, they’re just not as good as the Tacoma and you’ll have to repair them more frequently to get to 200K and beyond. My 98 Tacoma was virtually all original and going strong at 238K. My 03 Ranger needed multiple repairs by 100K, but no major failures. Tacoma’s have absurdly high resale value however. Even high mileage beaters demand a high price. Rangers have a resale price that reflect what they are actually worth.
