Updated Wiki

I am in the process of updating the Wiki with all of the reorganizations (Dont plan to be finished until Friday (After Thanksgiving). I have already added the 2008 YM for Chevrolet, will probably be adding the 2008 YM Product Information for GMC, Cadillac and Hummer as well (Fullsize Lineup). I also plan to add the midsize line up as well (Canyon, Colorado, Trailblazer, Envoy, Outlook, Acadia) for 2006, 2007, 2008. MS3DALE, you think I should add the VIN Cards to the Wiki as well? in anybody has any suggestions for more information or what they would like to see, either drop a reply here or PM me (or do both, I dont care). I plan to have the majority of information available by Sunday night (11/25/2007).

Yea Mike,The VIN cards would be a nice feature to have,I know guys have wanted to "decode" their VIN in the past and I've done it for them.

If you need a hand with any of this let me know,but like I said before,you seem to have it all under control,plus the way your posting them all the pictures come through,I can't get the pictures to copy over for some reason.Guess I'm not doing it right.

I am using Firefox instead of IE. If you want to help with the VIN cards or whatever, post away, (I have noticed that Firefox is way faster when posting/editing articles on the Wiki, and lets me do up to 20 edits simultaneously) I will simply organize the information if you post it.

WOW Mike. That's starting to really look like something. Before long it will be its OWN encyclopedia.

 

Good job by you and all that are contributing. I wish I had something to add. :P

 

EDIT: If I can ever be of help, just let me know.

    • My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.
    • The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.
    • 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.
