Well, for school we need to either design a webpage or do a power point presentation, so I opted for the webpage.  But, I figured why not make a new layout for my truck site since it's been a while since I've updated it.

 

Anyways, only the main page has the new look.  Can you guys let me know how you like it, does it all look and work correctly, do the rollovers work, how fast/slow is it on dial up.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.  I'm going to put up the new main page tonight to replace the old one as long as you guys give it the OK.  And time permitting I'll get the rest of the site updated and all the links and text changed to a newer more flashy version.

Looks great.  Only thing I see is that you have two links to Install Info on the main page.

 

I wish I could do webpages like that.

Yeah, I just saw that this morning, shows how tired I was last night.  I must've fixed it while you posted that.

 

That was actually pretty easy to do.  With the help of a friend I figured out how to use fireworks so I just drew it all up in photoshop and let fireworks do all the hard work for me.

Jon, the site looks great - you did a lot of work there!  :thumb:

 

I didn't notice anything not working correctly.  I particularly like the homepage.

 

Nice job man!  :thumb:  :)

Well, I finally got to test it out on dial up here at work.  It loads a little slower than I would like it to, but not too bad.  I'm going to try and reduce some file sizes this weekend and see if I can't get it to load much faster.

 

Thanks for all the compliments  :)

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
