Is it just me ???

It seems to me that the number of posts per week across all the forums (I watch 10 or so of them) is slowing down some. I wonder if that is really the case, or I am just a few bricks short of a full load tonight ........

Maybe folks are having fewer problems? Hope so anyway. This might mean that the early failure machines are finally getting fixed and the shops are getting better at fixing the root causes.

Just thinking out loud tonight as I wait for my son to get in tonight (for Spring Break).

edit - one other thing it could be (at least here on FTE) ..... cheezit's doing such a great job answering posts that it just seems like there are less of them (I know I have been posting less recently).

lol ... Yeah - you are probably right !!

Hope to golf on Monday. I was also thinking about helping him install an EGT gauge on his (mine) 1997 7.3L. I was also debating changing out my alternator/battery wiring to 2 gauge (or bigger wires).

I'd like to say that all problems have been fixed, but mine got the EGR valve replaced and now I have oil hitting the driveway. Personally, I've been too busy lately to get on here much.

I think also that so many questions have been asked and answered that they do a search and find the answer to their question that they have. I know i have had some questions and have usually found the answer i was looking for from an earlier post.

Seems like activity on the forums slows as the weather starts to warm up.

slowing down?

Mark, please take a look at my last 2 posts, I have researched the [revious posts on this topic and none of the ones I have seen seem to match or answer my questions. Could certainly use some of your invaluable experience right now! Thanks-

It's great having guys like yourself and of course cheezit to help many of us with our problems that we encounter from day to day. Not only have you guys saved me lot's on $$$ on repairs but also the learning experience of my PSD that I have learned from your experience and knowledge. You guys are always there for us..Thank You!!!!
PS: Mark, Enjoy the time with your son on Spring Break..Rocky

Mark,

I agree with you assessment regarding the number of post. Things have noticeably slowed down.

BTW - I am amazed although not surprised that you watch 10 forums.
