In lieu of some recent correspondences I have had with another person through pm's I feel the need to say something here in public.  And I also figured that many of you would have similar things you may want add for your own reasons.

 

To the administrators and moderators of this forum:

Thank you very much for the time and effort that you put into this forum to make it such a great place.  Without the work you guys do this place wouldn't be nearly as cool as it is.  You do a great job, and keep up the good work.  You all make the rest of our lives on the internet a little better.   :thumb:    :cheers:

 

 

Ok I'm done now.

Elwood,I know I speak on behalf of the rest of the staff when I say thank you!

 

I have read the copies of the pm's you sent which were in a civil manner and his responses which were not and I have to say that you conducted yourself very well in talking with this individual.

 

We don't set out here to attack a specific group of people here and when someone responds the way he did to something he didn't agree with by attacking other cultures within the same country he had to be dealt with.We hoped that by just removing his posts he would see that we are,for the most part,non confrontational but it didn't seem to work so he is now gone.

 

We really appreciate the words but more importantly we appreciate when members conduct theirselves in a civil manner and try to set the record straight in private settings when something goes awry.That alone speaks volumes of this board and its members in my opinion.

Yes, most here are on the board for good reasons- interests in the trucks and a desire to share/obtain more information.  It's a great community and a valuable resource.

Jeez, i don't even know 100% what went on (and i'm an admin! ) , BUT i do want to say thank-you myself to everyone who handled the situation with grace. I appriciate the thanks, but this site would be nothing without its members. If you guys didn't come, then there would be nothing here.

 

As we approch our 2nd birthday (and you believe its been that long???!! ) i want to thank YOU for YOUR dedication to this site.  :cheers:

 

You cannot understand how good it makes me feel to see GM-Trucks.com be EXACTLY what my vision for it was.  A non-confrontational place, where everyone no matter the age can come and discuss in a mature manner.  Where ego's are put aside, and true friendships can be made. Where you feel safe to visit and know that your getting the information faster than anywhere else, and for FREE.  And, as more advertisers sign up, and we have a little more flexability to work, you can expect the quality of the site to increase ten fold. Right now, i'm excited about our future, very excited.  :thumb:

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
