Could this happen here???

Take a look at this. Aggravating to say the least. I hope GM doesn't start engaging in this sort of thing. One more reason not to buy a Ford...as if I didn't have enough already!

Unfortunately, that could very easily happen here. But just to point out the difference between that site and ours, they have over 23,000 members and we barely have 3,000. So comparatively speaking, we are not even a drop in the bucket compared to them. The Ford-diesel site has become so big that Ford finally decided to take action.

I dont think the question should be could it happen the question should be when is it going to happen

I can say with no worries, that we won't have to deal with that.

EVER.

GM isn't a prick like Ford is..

Ford went after Blue Oval News awhile back because they were posting stuff such as news and upcoming spy shots/information. Then to top it all off Robert Lane (the site owner) was posting sensitive information pertaining to mustang gas tank explosions and such.

It could happen here, after all their vehicles and systems arte their proprietary property. If they feel some of us who heavily modify our trucks start publicly posting information that they deem sensitive, they could take the same action here. Although I'm sure they'd try to come to a reasonable settlement before jumping the gun.

Look at sites like LS1.com, LS1Tech.com, CamaroZ28.com. They all have HUGE member bases that are heavily into modifying and none of those have been shut down.
