Hello Tom - 

CA>> I don't own, drive, or even drive in as a passenger enough
CA>> vehicles to have an awareness of quality differences.
CA>> Perceived 'quality' and actual quality may not be
CA>> identical. If, for instance, there are no knowledgeable
CA>> Chrysler mechanics in your area the _perceived_ quality
CA>> (numbers of not-well-running Chryslers) in your area would
CA>> be very high. 

TW> Well it Percieved in my Case. Case in point. the
TW> Comparisiuon of the Fromerly owned Ford/Mazda Courier PU or
TW> the Dodge/Mitisibushi PU and me Curenet Chev S-10. Forst I
TW> put wel lover 150,000 on both of them with NO major
TW> problems. And they were Tight and well running vehicles
TW> during the time I had them. The biggest thinjk that puts
TW> the Chev i nthe Junk status, I will ignore that it rattles
TW> like a tim can on a rought road soemthing neiter of the
TW> little trucks did, Is the CRAP GM Automatic Transmission it
TW> has. IT is Designed to need MAJOR work at a little over
TW> 50,000 miles. One of the spool valves werad the valve body
TW> so badly that someone sells a Kit to bore it oue and
TW> provided a sleeve that wil llast FAR longer to be pressed
TW> in. The Lockup Converter also stwarts slipping badly
TW> somewhere between 50,000 and 60,000 requiring replacement.
TW> And there is a pressure regulator that almost ALL tranny
TW> shop highly recomend replacing at 50,000. I had NEVER had
TW> any of that on any Foreign car I have Ever owned. Which
TW> have included a selction of both German and Japanese. 

I don't know but am wondering - did you check the country of
origin for that transmission? You may find that it is not
"American Made" after all. :-)
