There is more truth than fiction to that statement.
Way back in the excessively loud stereo days two of my buddies owned the same year Chevy S-10 and the opposite GMC S-15 pick up trucks. While helping with the installation of the stereo systems there was fasteners that used lock washer on the GMC along with more adhesive used on body/trim panels.

Man i probably have 100k miles in the H1 ....clay mud in Ga. On Ft. Stewart ...multiple field ops in the US And Desert ops as well !.....AWESOME Vehicle imo . Very hard to get stuck with the 4 wheel independent suspension! ! With a tremendous amount of travel.
I'd purchase a gas burner large V-8 Model H1 for $50-$60k in a heart beat !
Never did like the diesel hesitation ( back in the day)

My buddies Chevy did seem to be slightly quicker than the GMC even though the both had the same engine/powertrain. It was probably the extra weight of the lock washers slowing the GMC down...lol

The electric motor and pump and reservoir is all one combined unit and the little plastic reservoir doesnt have a dipstick.Then Dodge crams the thing up inside the right side wheel well so you have to tear all that out just to check the fluid level. Kinda stupid really.

Since I sold my ford and bought a ram you can switch those top two around!
Let’s just say a good day for me is when I lay hardwood flooring for 8 hours, come home and wash the truck before mowing the 1/2 acre, then barbecuing dinner and doing the wife. There’s a shower in there near the end so you guys don’t think I’m gross.

Don't let them cut you man, it is way easier and less effect for women. They only have to absorb one egg, but guys have to absorb a lot, messes with you trust me. Congrats on 3.
