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.

      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.
