Frustration on new threads.
Please, if you post a thread regarding "Help on a problem" and you have had responses, regarding your issue, please, please, please!!! complete your thread. Many people respond to threads regarding issues. Lately I have noticed the original poster does not respond to the posts.
If someone has given you advise on how to solve an issue, did it work? Or did you solve the problem? Or what? Many people use the "Search Function" in a forum, only to discover an open thread with no resolution.
Help us, help you by determining the problem. It's simple just post your findings on your thread.
For instance; I give you advise on how to solve your problem and it doesn't work. However (any member) gives advise and it WORKS, please post what you tried and what your findings are.
We are here to help and also, here to learn. We're not experts or mind readers, so we need to know what actually worked. Just because most of us have dealt with issues over the years by our own mistakes or findings, does not mean we can't learn. So PLEASE, Help us help you.
Many forums I belong to have the same issues, so this post is directed to everyone.
Thank you for understanding.

Most times numerous folks here post numerous things that might fix a certain problem. One of them will. Depends on what's wrong with the vehicle. But WHICH ONE solved the problem? If OP doesn't post the solution how can we know? How will anybody searching in the future know? How will any Googlers know?

And, it helps us help you when you give ALL the pertinent details of what vehicle you have in your initial post that you're working on. You know what you have but we can't read minds.
If we have to fish for the information of what year model, series, engine, transmission, rear end, etc., we are merely guessing at solutions until we know what these things are. It wastes our time and will take longer for you to get your answer.
