The sections have been changed and moved around. IMHO, a bad update. The new sections are way too general in scope. I still think there should be separate section for new and old body style trucks. These trucks are so different that it makes it hard to find what you are looking for if everything is lumped into a single section

 

And the ads in the original post in the thread SUCKS! Sorry, Mervz, but while I understand the idea and need behind advertising, it really doesn't belong in the OP's thread.

I like the new layout.

 

A new user will find the new forum names much easier to decipher. Most of them don't know what GMT900 is.

Sorry the new layout sucks. Seems like its been changed 2 or 3 times in the last year or so. It was nice to come to the site and click right away where you knew you wanted to check. Now everything is generalized again. While its true that you can always use the search function to find what you want, it was always nice to go read about certain vehicles and what new questions were asked without trudging through all the other vehicle problems/questions that you werent interested in. I suppose change is inevitable...just my opinion....

I agree,I don't like the new format or changes at all.

I can't find certain topics or threads the way I could before.

And what happened to the pictures of my truck that I had posted? :chevrolet:

The ads don't bother me at all, but I do miss the GMT-900 specific section.

Ads should bother you. Every d**n site these days uses them. I realize they are there to generate money to support the sites, but dont embed it and force people to look at it in the center of their screen. The side bars work just fine, or do like the ASK.COM sites like that do, when you click on the link...it goes to a page with the ad, then directly to the link you clicked on..usually pretty quickly.

Really, they don't bother me. An ad embedded in the first post is really no big deal. If they were in every post, I would have a problem and probably start using another site. If putting an ad in the first post of each thread keeps me from having to spend $25 or whatever to join a site, then fine with me. I usually end up scrolling past them fast enough anyway that I couldn't tell you what ads I have seen on the site.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
