i was wondering why this forum seems to have less posting than some of the other truck related forums out there.  This site seems to be very well run and set up, much better IMHO than some forums which get more traffic (or at least more posts).  All of the info here seems to be reliable and useful, with no useless posts.  i would think that an all encompassing GM truck site would have more traffic/posts than a forum limited to only offroad or street or fullsize or sport trucks, etc.  just wondering...

We are getting more and more traffic every day.  I'm sure Mervz could provide the numbers to prove that.  One must remember that this is a very new forum, about a year old.  We are still getting our name out there and building a reputation for ourself.  Come back when we have been around for the same length of time as the other forums have and I will bet you will be pleasantly surprised.

 

All in all, the rest of the moderators have been well pleased with the way things have been going here.  This site has been growing much faster than we originally predicted it would.

I think a majority is because this site is still fairly new compared to alot of other sites, atleast the ones I go to anyways.  Alot of the places I visit have been around for well over 3 years and have had alot of time to attract members.  Thats my $.01.   ;)

Maybe some people don't like the seriousness of this site.  I for one appreciate it.  This is by far the best site for us GM owners.  One thing I have noticed is that everyone here is respectful to one another.

 

Wahooo!!!!!  This is post 100!!!!!!

And that is the way we intend to keep it.  A site where respect towards one another is the norm and not the exception.  Keeping serious here has its place, but having fun is also important!

I couldn't agree with JP more.

 

Even though we have our moments, we still try to keep things as serious as possible but have fun at the same time.

 

If we do have any non-sense, it's very few and very far between.

 

And Tom, don't feel so bad, my avatar isn't exactly the perfect choice niether. ;)

I like the seriousness over here.

 

Fullsizechevy.com has a TON of posts and replies, but most of them are goof-off replies..    Theres alot of good info here without the extra garbage.

 

Props to the admins for making such a good site icon14.gif

If you're comparing it to fullsizechevy they have only 400 some members but 90% of the stuff they talk about is just BS.  If you ever really look the majority of the posts are just 10 guys and usually just bickering back and forth.  I like this forum more because it's 90% information and when you ask a serious question you'll get the answer you need almost right away w/o getting a lot of stupid remarks.

Very true.  When I first joined I asked a question, and Jeff was back to me with a great answer within a half hour.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Another JR · Posted

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
