New Concept truck I want one
Sorry Guys, I'm a die-hard American and will only buy American brand products when they are available. Trucks and cars are about the only thing left. If farmers hold out for another penny, we import food too. We're a nation of middle men and hamburg flippers.

Ya, when you work for them, you get to wear a gray uniform with some Jap stuff written on it that you don't understand. Chances are it says: "I am a dummy". You then must bow to someone every morning first thing before you start working when you are in your group brain washing meeting. Every position is managed by a Japanese transplant who grins and chuckles to himself or his peers everytime an American worker is near. They never gave up on WWII and we're to dumb to realize it. The profits go back to Japan so they can then dump some more product in this country and wipe out another sector of business and our economy.
Sorry, I just got started and already bleeped out the bad stuff-It gets allot worse!
Our only gratification is knowing that when their Stateside duty is up and they need to rotate back home, the wives don't want to go back and be subservient citizens again. The kids eat decent food and grow to be 6' tall and don't fit through the 5' tall doorframes, need new beds and kitchen counter redos because they are too low.
Funny thing is, they can pay American workers the same basic wage and pay for ten times the advertising costs and still sell for less. Most of the base raw materials and tooling comes from Japan. I don't and won't consider it American!

I've heard isolated instances of people having problems with auto transmissions on all makes. I also have heard of allot of people that are totally happy and pull big stuff around without trouble. My neighbor has a 93 Dodge 4X2 diesel that he uses exclusively for towing a house trailer all over the country (mostly Michigan to Texas to California to Washington and back through Colorado to home). He has 135,000 miles on it without problems. Usually, once you have trouble it can often reoccur. A totally new one will usually put an end to it. Getting the factory to replace it is difficult.
Some manufacturers and models recommend towing in overdrive, others don't.
On F250's & F350's you can also rip out the front ends if you try hard enough with the diesel option. Real heavy loads, through plowed fields and turning sharp so the wheel is locked, again and again and again can do it sometimes!
Manufacturing tolerances on all of the parts are very precise. I can't unstand why some have problems, others don't.
I've heard the Allison transmission in the GM HD series is the strongest in the industry. That's according to GM ads.
