I love this site. I even put "Visit GM-Trucks.com" on my email signature. The forum is entertaining and helpful. I think that there is a level of maturity here that I haven't seen in other forums. We do pick on each other a little, but there hasn't been any outright attacks like at other forums.

The messenger is great! Members can have conversations without everyone being involved, even if it's not really "private". No one else has to wade through it to surf the topic.

The only negative thing I can say is that the disappearing threads are a pain, but they are few and far between.Keep up the good work!

Considering the rating results on the home page, there hasn't been many suggestions on how to make this site any better.

Mervz and Sillt can't fix this if we don't tell them what's broken.

Well these are very mature populated forums.  

But we do need to expand a bit.  We need something like a tips section for problems with certian years ( say the problem that occurs with the windshield wiper motor).  And a Readers Pic's type of thing.  And I would like it if instead of a forum we made a seperate page for the truck pics, then put them in order of years or age of owners.....lol you'd be right near the top huh tom? lol

(oldest to youngest type a thing)

And sections like Favorite lifts, common problems, quick trail fixes, survive'n the trial type stuff.  Oh!  Before I forget, I say we make Mervz go to all his local dealerships and have interviews n stuff, since well, he needs more to do in that vette then cruise around and pick up bugs on the windshield.....lol

Tom, I saw your picture and I think I've got you beat.   If we are going to be put in order of age, at 45  I guess I'm so far up you have to go past me to get to the  GM-TRUCKS.COM logo!!!

      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.
