The once mighty GM was a product of capitalism, the new disaster of GM is a product of socialism. If capitalism would have been allowed to function properly as GM achieved success and bought up other brands and became more competitive and that was rewarded with more success. Then as the execs, unions, shareholders, etc were taken over by greed and finally took the company down, instead of taxpayers bailing them out the company should have been sold off. Buick to so and so, Pontiac another, Cadillac to another, etc. Then the process could have started over with the hands of many at the top competing to make a better product at a better price, instead we have the pockets of many drained into a company that is a shell of it's former self, but still controlled by a few new idiots at the top. Same for Chrysler, except now it's controlled by a Italian bike manufacturer. Although I'll cut them a little slack because they are building the Dodge TRX 4X4, and I heard it's slightly faster than a bike getting a load from point a to point b.

I remember when Ford in Oakville went 100% 'Metric', well, except for a LOT of 1/2-20 wheel nuts, which seemed to go onto the Metric studs easily with 5/8" impact guns.. HUGE friggin 'safety recall' (unlike the tierod ends on my F150...hmmmm).

Don't forget the left hand threaded studs, that was some unnecessary confusion. Edited by Kansas99 - 13 Mar 2021 at 2:40pm |

If I remember correctly, all cars had left hand threads on the lugs on the left side of the car. Ford and GM changed to all right hand threads in the early 60's, and Chrysler made the change around 66 or 67. When my son bought his '51 Willys M38, I warned him about that. He said he is glad I did, other wise he would have been buying some new lug bolts.

I don't remembering Ford having left hand threads on their wheel hubs. My folks had a '57 F-100 Pick-up and a '59 Station Wagon, they did not have left hand threads.

GM changed in the late 40’s early 50’s, Ford around same time except on ton and half or bigger trucks. Even today the old two lug Budds are still LH thread left side while the hub pilot systems are RH all wall around.

Hypocrite Bill Gates in 2019, noting Wind Solar and Battery systems as Garbage. Oh and BTW, the man OBVIOUSLY has Parkinsons, which can lead to Dementia.
