big dee Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Mileage on the chevy shouldn't be an issue if its been took care of. Check for leaks an misfires . And when you text drive it stop I'm a parking lot and turn the key off an on several time. This will make the check engine light come on if they reset the codes. Lots of car lots reset them to turn the light off and after you turn it off and on it comes back on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1996BLKBauer Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I am a HUGE Ford guy, but I would go with the Silverado. For one the engines on the 3rd gen Explorers are junk in my personal opinion. I LOVE the 5.0L, and the 4.0L OHV in the second Gens, but the 3rd gens have bad engine choices. Second, the only thing that can kill those chevy trucks is lack or routine work, and rust, which if you take care of the thing should not be an issue. 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer V8 AWD So far with the Ford/JBL Stock Stereo system, Alpine System coming soon.

Jessica Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ford guy here, but as much as it hurts i would pass on the explorer. Never seen an explorer that lasted very long. Don't know why either, just one of those cars, all manufactures have one in their line-up. Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

thegr8cody Posted July 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Probably gonna with the silverado. The agreement was buy a truck and sell my blazer. But I might just kiss ass and suck uo and see if she'll let me keep my blazer as a toy. 1998 gmc sierra h/u:eclipse cd3200 sub:dd9518g d1.5 amp:jl e300/4 sub amp:dd m2a front stage:id ctx65cs dc power 270 alt lots of kicker 1/0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
