Pretty even around here.I've never experienced any gremlins with GMs up to 02.. bailout era is regarded as being the worst era in terms of electrical nonsense.
I will say.... the overwhelming majority of old trucks up here are GMs and the occasional dodge. Ford's (apart from 1 tons) seem to dissappear into thin air once they hit 15 years or so. I honestly don't remember the last time I saw an f150 like @85_Ranger4x4 got rid of a few months back.. but I've seen 2 dozen 20 year old silverados today.. easily.
I still drive by my old one about every day when he works. My brother's old 97 is still around town too.
Both are still daily drivers. My truck was still good, if it was a super crew I would happily still have it.
