Talking to a Cheby fan

I was just chatting with a guy that has a 1999 Cheby 2500LD with the 6.0. He asked me what I had and when I told him he couldn't beleive it! He said "so have you had a lot of problems with the injectors and the tranny?" I told him that I thought the 727 was a great trans and that I'd never heard of anyone haveing injector problems with the Cummins. So he tells me that he know a lot of people that tow with them and have all sorts of problems. He said "they are fine if you drive them like a car, but not for towing" and then started talking about how great the D-max is because it's so quiet.
It's sad how distorted reality becomes when you get used to driving a Cheby. I'm supprised he didn't start talking about how great the 6.2 was!

Sorry to be so long-winded but...
