I know that a lot of people just want to place to hangout on the web with other people they can talk trucks with.

Others come here for a specific purpose, to find information on something that's gone wrong with a vehicle, to get options on repair work or how-do-I's, or even to help troubleshoot faulty work in some cases.

What's the site worth to you? Have you saved any money because of information that you've found on here?

Just curious.

I frequent the site mostly to see whats new in the GM truck world as far as problems and fixes, questions that need answers (or common questions that I may have that get answered), and just plain fun to hang out with fellow Chevy truck owners who have many things in common with one another kind of like a "Network of Chevy Truck enthusiasts". I HAVE saved a lot of money by reading about "How-to's" and simple fixes to problems as well as great ideas and suggestions to improving my already great Chevy truck.:great:

Indispensable, No money value can be placed on knowledge...

Siskel and Ebert give it 2 thumbs up...

That made me laugh.

Not at you Jeff, or your idea. It's kind of an inside joke.
The kind where I've been nagging Steve about one (chat room) for some time now. I think he would agree that I used to be a pain in the a$$ about it.:lol:

As far as I know Steve already has something on the back burner for a chat room.:great:

(on a side note, I was about to upload a chat module, but my webhost went down over the weekend a couple of times and I couldn't upload anything)

Well, I was going for something simple, like "I was going to replace my instrument panel for $600, but I found a post that told me my vehicle tended to have a couple of bad solder joints that cracked and short out. Thanks, you saved me $595."

I guess being a source of entertainment and diversion for our servicemen in Iraq is perhaps a better source of value than I could have ever hoped to achieve.

Thank you!

I've enjoyed sharing what little I do know about car repair and saved money on my DIY work. After reading info on the site, I've been motivated to try some repairs that I would have paid my mechanic to do. (Saved a bunch on some AC work.) One of the best qualities on the site is the low flame level. I've all but given up on another site that is flame city.:slap:

Here that sheriff Jamie?? You know what that means....Oh Steeeeve....can we mods have a raise for the fabulous job we're all doing here? :lol:


AC work kind of worries me. That's not a job I'd like to undertake. I'm more comfortable with tearing into my transmission than messing with chemicals that deplete the ozone. It's just my luck I'd vent the whole system.
But that's great that you felt empowered to tackle that task.:great:
