First off, to post a picture you need to have it uploaded on the web at some sort of site that allows picture linking on other sites.

 

Secondly, the image must end in a valid extension (.gif, .jpg, or .swf for your avatar).

 

 

AVATAR

First you must go into "My Controls" which is located at the top of the page on the right hand side. Once inside click on "Edit Avatar Settings." Next, you can either select an avatar from the library by using the drop down menu, point your avatar to a URL of your choosing, or upload an image. The avatar is limited to 75x75 pixels so it is recommended that you resize your picture beforehand. For example, don't use an image right off of your digital camera. It will show up at 75x75 pixels, but it will actually be full size and take a person on dial up a long time to download.

 

 

Signature

**Please limit all sig line pictures to no more than 700 pixels wide x 200 tall**

**Also, limit your sig length to no more than 10 lines**

To post a picture in your signature you must first upload an image to a picture hosting site. Then, go into "My Controls" and once in there click on "Edit Signature." You will see a text box w/ controls above it very similar to that of a reply box. You can enter text, images, URL's, etc... To post your picture click on the "IMG" button above the entry box and paste the URL of the image. The code that appears is [img ]http://www.domain.co...r/yourimage.jpg[/img ] (minus the spaces between brackets). You can then click on "Update My Signature" which saves your sig and refreshes the page so you can check to make sure that it is updated correctly. Also, this will update your sig in every past post you have made as well.

 

 

Images in Posts

To post an image in a post you must have it upladed to a hosting site and just copy the URL of the image. When you reply to the post click on the "IMG" button and paste the URL. The code that appears is [img ]http://www.domain.co...r/yourimage.jpg[/img ] (minus the spaces between brackets).

 

 

Hopefully this answers all general picture posting questions. If any members know of any sites that allow hot linking PM me w/ the URL's and I will keep a running list in this thread along w/ the date listed.

Right-click on the picture (the big picture you get after opening it, not the thumbnail), go to "properties" and copy the stuff to the right of "location" (triple-clicking will usually highlight it all). Then paste that into the URL field here that pops up when you click the image button.

Just checking to see if my Sig looks good and is not too big...

 

It's perfect.

 

 

Actually, Mr. Rule Enforcer, according to the site rules it's 30 pixels too tall.

 

:)

 

Not that I care though. :)

Hey Mike, all kidding aside, why is the sig rule not enforced? There are MANY huge sig pics that are well beyond the reasonable limits.

When I'm at work, I keep most of the images turned off via adblock so I don't see them.

 

If you see one, send one of the mod/mins a PM. We'll take it from there.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
