A heavy equipment mechanic friend of mine for 50 years works on everything and I greatly respect his opinion. He wouldn't take a GM product at any price. Not only do they have a lot of problems but his biggest gripe is how they put things together. He says GM stuff is much harder to work on.
Then if you talk to competitor or mine, he always had GM rigs, as his in house mechanic preferred GMs to Fords as my friend preferred. He found the Fords stayed broke, the GMs were fixed quickly.
