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.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
