Was just wondering who all on this site is a member on GM Full size? What are people's thoughts about that forum? Good, bad or otherwise. I was thinking of joining that forum too.

It's good. Has it's points. It costs nothing to join, so join it. You can visit both sites. Hell, I'm a member at a ton of sites, as well as a mod on some.

I only joined GMFullsize because I wanted to view a thread one time. Maybe it's just me, but that website can seem a little immature at times... :crazy: But, as txab said, it's free to join and it has some good info and pictures sometimes.

I'm a member over there and I'll agree with the immature at times. It seems that here that if you have a stupid/obvious/repeated question, you don't get completely bashed and flamed and people actually try to help you out with posting a link to another thread, etc. But over there, if you do the same thing, you get bashed, flamed, made fun of for modding your truck a certain way and sometimes just a general unhelpful atmosphere. For gneral questions, the knowledge here seems way above par than over at GMfullsize but there can be some good questions/answers/pictures over there. I know these are just internet forums, but still, you can have some respect for other people, their belongings and their feelings. Not everybody is as knowledgable as some people when it comes to vehicles, and any question or answer, no matter how stupid or obvious, can eventually help somebody out.

 

I have started to come here for more of my questions, rather than there. I guess that says something about the people on this site.

 

Just my 2 cents.

+1 I agree. But much much less than GMF. :P Every site has it's good points and bad points. There is still valuable info to be had at both places

I'm only a member there to browse the forums. I did ask a question there one time and didn't really get any help at all. Here I've had so much help from several different people. They tend to have more topics regarding stuff with good pictures I find but here is def where I spend almost all of my day

 

 

p.s. I wouldn't have been able to have (what I think) a bad ass looking truck that makes me not want to stop looking at it if it wasn't for this site.

I have checked out that forum and think they are are bunch of immature guys who find it entertaining to bash other peoples love of their trucks. I am also a member at GMTC which I find to be pretty helpful.

I was also a member over there a long time ago and no longer visit and remove from my favorites due to the immature people and they think they know everything about trucks. No moderator inforcement of the site at all.

      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.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
