One more time...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, and again, and again... like so many others...
This is an awesome site with lots of awesome folks!!
To the point.... I hate to admit it, but I own a Chevy Suburban.
It has a few problems. I finally got up the nerve to go to a Chevy forum site to see if I could find the kind of support there that I've seen here, and guess what... It AIN'T THERE!!!
I see threads on the first page where it's been weeks, sometimes month's since the last response! I've posted four different questions in two different subforums in there, and not a single reply... even from a moderator!!
The way it stands right now, I can't even imagine considering another Chevy!!
Thanks for being here, folks!

Ha this site is great, i sounds so repetitive to say it, but when i get bored, i don't really go anywhere else to post. I try going to "the other site" and i don't see why people twice, three times my age act like little kids fighting.

Yeah I have to agree with you. I found this site before I bought my 7.3. I planned on finding a good forum for it before hand so I could start learning about everything I need to know...
This forum was definitely something I was looking forward to once I got my truck.

I'll drink to that... 
The knowledge here is incredible & invaluable. That's why I ponied up for a 3 year sub. Best investment in my truck yet...

It really is a cool site with great people and the BEST discussion forum that I belong to.
I moderate a discussion forum for a friend of mine that is a musician (Cory Morrow) and I tell ya, they act like children over there. It's refreshing to come here and not have a bunch of whining and drama.

IGNORANCE... INEXPERIENCE... MOMENTARY STUPIDITY.... DESPERATION.... regardless of what we call that decision, at the time when I bought the Suburban, it was either that or a 12 passenger van. Ford had not yet come out with the Excursion, and I was already sick from my miniivan experience and couldn't repeat that excercise. Besides, within 2yrs of getting the burb, we had all 8 seats filled up.
Just let me get into a financial position to afford another set of payments, and that little beastie (the burb) will be gone and I'll have my wife tootling around town in a nice diesel powered Excursion!
IZZY: the problems range from some sort of mysterious front brake caliper eating habit all the way to stripped mirror gears and sporadic door lock solenoids, and the stupid thing drives too much like a car for my taaste... especially after having now been driving a REAL truck since last September.
