It appears that way.

Last night the site was down (around 11:30pm EST or so). Some of my posts are gone as well.

Yes we unfortunately did. Read this announcement.

 

Morning folks! Good news and bad news.

 

First the good news: We're back!

 

The bad news: At some point last night the database became corrupted and was unrecoverable. We restored the forum from a backup taken yesterday. You may find that some of the topics and/or posts you started yesterday may be gone. We apologize for this.

 

Things should be back to normal at this time (aside from a few lost topics/posts).

 

Thanks for bearing with us.

Yes, we had to go back to Monday night's backups. Unfortunately, last nights backup was after the Database failed. We are taking steps to determine what happened, and what can be done to prevent this in the future.

 

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Yes. Unfortunately, the site went down again last night. We have targeted the problem and are working to resolve it as we speak.

 

Thanks.

Waking up at 5am two mornings in a row to database driver errors is stressful. Sorry guys and gals!

That is what time I get up to go to the gym. If I didn't I would never make it there. It does give me a good start to the day. I'm usually in bed by 11.

 

Glad to see the site back up and running. You and Josh really put some time in and we all appreciate it. :lol:

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
