they did have their problems. Had they been a little less expensive to upkeep I'd still have my 2001 Sport because that 360 was one hell of a beast of an engine.

I've always loved Dodges and Chevys and hated Fords. Kinda funny I enede up witha F-150 that I love and have had 0 problems with in 4,500 miles. The only problem I had in 10,000 miles with my '96 K1500 was an alternator that went out at 140,300 miles after I replaced it with a delphi one I had no issues until my ex keyed it. So if my Ford goes 10k without any problems I will be very happy/impressed with Fords.

Its called Traction Control !!!!! But it is still a 4x4
Un like my Silverado 4x4...It has a manual transfercase...That has a posi front and rear axle drive...... (True Posi)
His Push button 4x4 is a traction control system....
He more than likely didnt order his truck the way he wanted it...and bought it off the lot....with Traction Control (pushbutton)
It Depends on What you order....And yes Chevy Does still make PosiTrac
You Have to order it with "PosiTrack"....
AND YES...CHEVROLETS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WoW-Wee's
Thanks `Lou for the link (I've never been there b-4 until 2day, but they sure seem to have a great site) I do like what they did to the "Dart Rally" I do like many type rides, but I just prefer Chevy's
, but there are many super rides out there to purchase...I just can't afford them 
Below from their site
Sergio Confirms the Dodge Dart SRT - but what engine will it use?
By Patrick Rall on <ABBR class=published title=2012-05-30T18:14:23-08:00>May 30, 2012 6:14 PM</ABBR>
Chrysler execs have long teased and hinted at the future existence of an SRT variant of the sporty new Dodge Dart sedan but while speaking recently with Automobile Magazine, Chrysler Group CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that the Dart SRT is on the way. As he put it, the main question right now is "how big an engine we stick in it."
Since the day that the 2013 Dodge Dart met the world in January at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, the Mopar world has been demanding a high performance version from the Street and Racing Technology brand. There have been quite a few spyshots of what appeared to be a modified Dart presumed to be the SRT variant but Sergio's comments are the first positive confirmation that it is definitely on the way.

Mopar Ram Runner beats Ford SVT Raptor at Dual in the Desert

The folks at PickupTrucks.com recently took the Mopar Ram Runner and the Ford SVT Raptor F150 to the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area in southeastern California and when the dust cleared - the Ram Runner was found to be the winner.
PickupTrucks.com headed to southeastern California with the Ram Runner, the Raptor, and SCORE International Off-Road Racing Series Trophy Truck driver Chad Ragland. Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area has a 4.73 mile off-road course which Ragland used to test the capacities of the two trucks. In the end, Ragland was able to lap the course 33 seconds faster in the Ram Runner than he could in the mighty Raptor even though the SVT F150 packs more power than the standard production 5.7L Hemi found in the Ram Runner.

Dodge Dart rally car forced out of debut early by dirty driving

This past weekend's debut for Travis Pastrana and the 2013 Dodge Dart rally car did bring about a win in a the second round of heat races but due to some dirty driving by Finnish Ford driver Toomas Heikkenen, Pastrana and the Red Bull/Discount Tire Dodge Dart were forced to settle for a disappointing 9<SUP>th</SUP> place finish.
Pastrana started the first event of the 2012 Global RallyCross season strong, turning in the 4<SUP>th</SUP> fastest lap during testing as the new Dodge Dart rally car ran a lap of 34.999. This time was only slower than series regular Marcus Grönholm (Ford), Mopar drift driver Samuel Hubinette (Saab) and European rally champ Svere Issachsen (Subaru).

Dodge Dart Rally Car to make debut tomorrow
By Patrick Rall on <ABBR class=published title=2012-05-25T07:28:29-08:00>May 25, 2012 7:28 AM</ABBR>
Tomorrow night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Travis Pastrana will hit the track for the first event in his new Red Bull Racing Dodge Dart Rally Car. Pastrana and the new Dart rally car will compete with 15 other drivers including rally racing superstars like Tanner Foust, Brian Deegan, Rhys Millen and Ken Block.
This is a big weekend for both the new Dodge Dart rally team but also Global Rally Cross racing association. Rally racing has more of a "cult following" but with the GRC guys running at Charlotte Motor Speedway right after the NASCAR Nationwide Series History 300, there could be thousands of prospective new fans in the crowd. NASCAR is the biggest motorsport in the US and we can expect the stands to be packed with fans with the high-flying rally cars take to the track Saturday night.

Is this still a Chevy site? 
Thanks for clearing up the mis-information. And yes, Chevy's are the best IMO.
Thats because the new systems he has is a full time push button 4 wheel drive..That caused that issue..the speed sensors sense which wheels are slipping and designate the power to the wheels that arent slipping...
Its called Traction Control !!!!! But it is still a 4x4
Un like my Silverado 4x4...It has a manual transfercase...That has a posi front and rear axle drive...... (True Posi)
His Push button 4x4 is a traction control system....
He more than likely didnt order his truck the way he wanted it...and bought it off the lot....with Traction Control (pushbutton)
