    Well today at work I the task of changing oil in a 2008 5.3L 1500 and another 06 1500 (i think it had the 5.3 also not sure my brother had everything for me so i didn't look) but the point of this is. Have you ever noticed how much more room there is to slide under our 150s and compared to the chevys.

    Were they 2wd? I slid under a surburban with no problems tonight. Starter was hung up. Couple taps with a hammer and it was good to go.

    I dunno, I think I'd rather change the oil on a chevy. Oil filter is a lot easier to get to than ours.

    I have to turn the steering wheel a certain way to get mine out. If not, the filter gets caught on the draglink.

    bahahaaha Those Chevy starters blow. I had to do that all the time with my old Chevy pickup and the dump truck at work. I think the dump truck is on like its 5th starter and its a 96. Taps with a hammer or using a bolt to jump the starter always does it.
