I think they don't want people to be able to work on their engines anymore...

That's very true. Frustrates my mechanic DH!

That's pretty much it. My 80 chevy malibu was still pretty easy to work on. We even changed out the engine ourselves. The 77 chevy impala was even easier.

Couldn't do much for the 2003 chevy monte carlo we had. The 09 nissan frontier is pretty much not for us to work on. We can do a few things on the 97 ford 150, but even that we can only do a few things on.

I have nothing for working on the computer stuff and now days it's better in the long run for us to take stuff to our favorite local shop

Loved the old american 60's and 70's model years. Easy to work on, lots of room. Seems the auto manufacturers just don't care anymore if you can do the simplest of maintance repairs without several hours of frustratation or not. I already told my wife when my 03 Chevy pickup dies, I'm going for a restored 1964 Chevy Delivery and I'll turn it into a rock n roll machine.

That would be cool!

The 55 Chevy truck my DH had was so roomy under the hood that you could get right inside to work on it if you wanted to... lol

Speaking of the "General" it looks like they are trimming out some dead wood...
