Another transplant from gmt400 forum, hello.

Glad to see you here. You could/should post up some pics of your GMT800.

I now see the pics in the other thread.

If its like GMT400, you have to have 6 months and 100 posts to access that. Which I have a long way to go!

Yeah well if that is the case, I’ve been here since 2014 and am working on upping my post count. 21 posts to go.

I have not heard back yet from @Shaggy and @Griffin about what qualifies for Lounge access. Can you see Classifieds? Can you post at Classifieds?

Hell, I am a Supporting Member and I have had ads since last Wednesday. That is creating refresh problems and causing my posting to freeze up. @Shaggy and @Griffin have told me it is being handled. I can wait 'em out.

 

[ORVietVet]

Got the ads on my account fixed but still no qualifications limits for Lounge or Classifieds. That I know of.

 

[ORVietVet]

I spoke too soon. The ads are back. I feel like a red headed step child.

Making me hungry! Now I want tacos!

 

[ORVietVet]

I had tacos today with 3 other American Legion members/friends of mine. We normally do it every Tuesday and Thursday but I have a dental appt Thursday.

You should be..

You should be..

He only shows 96 posts/messages. Your rules say 100 posts/messages and 6 months time. He has been a member since 2022. This info is if I am seeing it correctly right now.

I reminded at Tahoe/Yukon Forum and GMT400 Forum, for members there to join here. I did get a message from a Tahoe/Yukon Forum member that they did join and are waiting approval. They did not know this forum existed.

I wonder why this forum doesn't have trophy points like GMT400? Not that it matters to me, but it might encourage others.

It might cost money to set it all up and @Shaggy and @Griffin needed to see how busy this forum would be. Hell, I don't know.

I could really care less. I want a forum that is mainly for GMT800 trucks and SUV's. I own 2 of them and the one GMT400 truck we have, will hopefully be gone before the 15th. I will still be a member of the GMT400 Forum because it is a great forum and I like that series of truck, too.

As the forum gets bigger, we can make suggestions to the mods to expand the forum offerings. I got them to open up Lounge and Classifieds sections.

There is another forum that has too many sections, IMO, they concentrate on Silverados and Sierras and nothing else but all years are lumped together and there is a section for each individual engine. Too much, again IMO.

I think we should have separate owner's build threads eventually but that may be relegated to just the Garage section for now. Never mind, I see the Under Construction section.

We can have separate GMT800 sections for Tahoes, Yukons, Suburbans, Silverados. Sierras and Avalanche. Open to any and all suggestions.

I will be getting deeper in the work on my new 2004 Silverado K2500HD and steps/pics will be posted. I also plan to post steps/pics of my ongoing side mechanical work.

But please please please, give me all your suggestions, so I can forward to @Shaggy and @Griffin. Let me make something clear. I am not a mod, not even close. I can just suggest to the owners and I promise to always get back to any of you.

I am working with the owners to make these sort of things happen on the site. More info later.
