The forum is fine, so are the trucks the people as well. Any thing else would be a bore. A little temper every now and then is fun too.

Just want to clarify the Sub-section proposal:

 

- Complaint/problem/issue topics are welcome on this forum and in the current K2 section. Under no circumstances will they banned, discouraged, shunned, etc.

 

- The 2014's appear to have a large number of issues. Whether that's due to actual part/assembly failures or increased traffic/membership on the forum is debatable.

 

- Sections currently exist for specific areas such as Wheels & Tires or Audio & Electronics. The K2 section of the forum will not get any additional K2 dedicated areas, as they would conflict/overlap with the previously existing and well functioning sections. This proposal is for a problems/issues/complaints sub-section only.

 

- The proposal would simply create a sub-section, similar to having a very large pinned topic at the top, which all GM part/assembly issues or warranty related complaints would be organized. The idea being, if you have a problem/issue/complaint that is due to the manufacturer or dealer, you can click the sub-forum, and all the specific topics covering those problems are neatly organized for your browsing/searching. The K2 main section would remain for any 2014 posts not related to manf/dealer issues.

 

 

I think this forum is amazing and I'm not trying to make waves. I simply believe MTB has a valid suggestion, and if it can improve how members experience/navigate the K2 section, I'm all for it.

I think your efforts would be better served combining duplicate threads and removing duplicate posts. I am sure your idea of what constitutes a manuf. defect and what is a nice to have gripe or complaint is different than mine. Like I said if you want to create a forum where all the posts remain positive ala apple fanboyish knock your self out. The GM CSR's that pop up here with little or no usefull purpose other than taking down your vin would like that better. Like all forums the choice to view a thread or not remains with the viewer not the moderator

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
