Default just curious..

ok, so you hear dodge is notorious for having tranny problems, and the 2nd gen with the rusting, and cracked dashes. but i was wondering what kind of problems are chevy and ford known for?

Umm, we don't know or care, frankly. Try Chevy and Ford forums.

For being piles of s**t! Like he said, go to one of the other BS forums.

for not being as b/a as the dodges
The cracking dashes are really only the 2000's and 01's... mine hasnt cracked or rusted. And honestly, if you look at the ford and chevy forums youll find that they all complain about tranny problems too

the 5.4s are known for blowing sparkplugs due to the incredible amount of power (and not enough threads in the head )
