Let me thank all of you for your insight. I didn't mean to rile some feathers. I do believe that we all would like to buy American products. I know I would. But to be perfectly frank, the track record on my present truck really, really, sucks. 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD W/T. Bought it new. Plugging in the data on Kelly Blue Book shows me that its worth about $3,300.00 on a trade. It has less than 90,000 miles on it. Both rocker panels are gone (see through). I had to replace the steering shaft once, heater resistor four times, all of the brake lines except the rear one (rust) and the drivers side bed is almost poking through with rust. The headline is falling off, (I don't smoke), the tailgate usually doesn't latch, and on and on.
Sure there are lemons in every make and model out there, but I would challenge any of you to tell me these are not common-place problems with the GMC trucks of that era. Google those problems and see the blog sites of which many GMC owners are telling their story.
Someone said my kids and grand kids will thank me for buying American. But at what cost must I do this. Go broke? It would be great if GMC would offer an allowance to cover the below average deficit caused by their hand.
And yes, I sit on a Farmall H, wearing Red Wing Boots, thinking about riding my Harley Dyna Glide. Just wish I could brag about my truck.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
