Well, it's the fall, and that means it's time for our yearly tweek of GM-Trucks.com

 

Just a few mintues ago I changed the top forum graphic, and hope to make it a weekly tradition on Sunday nights.

 

I also want to open this thread up for the harshest criticism you can give me about GM-TC. What you like, what you hate, what you want us to elaborate on and what just doesn't work. Please, you won't hurt my feelings. This is YOUR site, not mine. I just want to make it perfect for YOU.

 

What do you want us to try to add on the forum?

What would you like us to add on the main site? More truck reviews? More product reviews? More Car reviews? Reviews on non-automotive stuff? For us to shut the hell up? haha

 

Thanks in advance for everyone's great and helpful comments! :confused::jester:

How about a PDA/Blackberry browser version so I can check the forums when I'm on travel? I've tried, but it is painfully slow, even with the "low bandwidth" version.

 

Other than that, it's a great site with a lot of great people! Keep up the good work!! :confused:

I wouldn't mind more maintenance how to's and maybe some more in depth articles on how certain things work with diagrams and some insight on the inner workings. I would also love to see a for sale section, maybe with different accesories ( you know where you pic your truck then try on different parts ) Anyways I love the site, love the skin choice, easy on the eyes. Thanks

I like the fact that, even though there are random ads by google on the screen, they are not in your face and they don't randomly popup. It's nice, hopefully we can keep the forum ads to a minimum like they are now!

I can do without the pictures of Hummers and Cadillac SRX's,I know the Hummer's are GM trucks but....

How many of us on here have Hummer's? Only one that I can think of.

And the Cadillac SRX -IS NOT- a truck,Its a "crossover" just like the Equinox,Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Vue and they are NOT trucks!!

 

Other than that everything is just A-OK!! :confused:

Yeah, we'll be "adjusting" the pictures a little bit to get back to the pure truck aspects!

I agree. Stop posting car s**t. Didn't you have a car site like two years ago? Cadillac station wagons belong there!

On the view-new-posts screen, I'd like to be able to see the date and time a thread started. That along with the date and time of the most recent post.

 

In the garage, nobody's commenting. Could be because people think that if they do make a comment, or two, or three, their name will be posted on the "most recently commented" section, once for each comment. Too much publicity.

 

Change that section of the "garage" screen to indicate the vehicle commented, and the first few words of the new comment, followed by an elipsis.

 

And it's too hard to search the garage. Impossible to search for a particular mod...can anything be done there?

 

And add an icon to "newest mods" to indicate if there is a picture. That way we can skip the ones that are pictureless.

      Auto start stop disable

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed the Auto stop eliminator on my 21 Sierra SLT shortly after I got it. They have a detailed video instruction on how, took me about 20-30 minutes to do. I was apprehensive too to start tearing apart a new truck but it was pretty easy install. Like you mentioned get some trim tools. I went to Harbor freight and picked up a set. If you can find some install videos/instructions to give you and idea for a plan of attack you should be fine.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      If all oil manufacturers had to meet a higher standard for not just the initial filtering of the oil but that they had to improve on their formulation so that the oil cleaned the engine such as the Valvoline R&P or the new Mobil product ( assuming it works similar of course ), and the oil was changed on an interval based on good UOA data, there shouldn't be any gremlins running around like miniture rats on top of your heads to be washed down into the oil pan below 😁

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      A while back on another thread there were comments and thoughts on air filters and I know that can tend to be a bit of a hot topic because of outfits that have a vested interest in selling aftermarket air boxes fitted with the gauze type of oiled elements touting the lower air restriction. However and unfortunately I don't know where I have seen the test results in the past about the amount of dirt through a test procedure that these style of filters do pass more dirt through than a properly designed ( not some cheap Chinese knock off ) paper/synesthetic media filter can do. Lake Speed had a conversation on that topic with one of the employees at Donaldson and there seemed to be a consensus of these oiled filters falling short in the absolute percentage of dirt holdback.    Which all ties back into how good the air filter is on the engine at keeping dirt out as that is going to reflect as a contaminant introduced into the oil as well as cylinder wear even if some of that dirt does find its way out of the exhaust rather then the crank case. Put another way that one can throw the kitchen sink at filtering the oil and using a bypass system which I fully expect will do nothing but good for the oils contamination but if the air filter system isn't doing its job then its preventing the engine from reaching the best wear/lasting case scenario instead.    Now perhaps this topic is or isn't for this particular thread but Grumpy Bear or anyone else for that matter, do you have access to some scientific trust worthy testing on engine air filter types to get some proper comparison data to post up.
