Posted a wanted add in the For Sale/ Wanted section, but it will not let me post any content. When i try to edit, the bar type bar moves but does not show any text. Any ideas from anyone ??

I'm looking for a Colt DB. Got my hands on the .38 the other day, but would prefer the .22. I'm not that concerned about condition. Can be one end of the spectrum or the the opposite. Short or long barrel. Box/papers or not...either way. If you guys know of anything i'd appreciate it. Gunbroker or other auctions sites are not my bag of tricks...just don't like buying anything like that. THanks.tes are not my bag of tricks...just don't like buying anything like that. THanks.

If you dig into the bowels of this forum, you'll find someone that has made it work. I believe there may be a way to make the GemTop? work along with the wing. They are as low profile as it gets I personally love em. Don't have one but love em. Give it a look..

Why ?

If it is the same for all years, mine is an 04, then it is the high.

Chris let me check on Tuesday when i get back home. I don't think i have any but it's worth rifling through the parts bins.

did you check with gera04ss ? He had a few for sale a few weeks ago or less

Pandora, Bosch light em up (is kind of fun), magnilight, compass, ihandy level, alarm clock pro, Translator (for when you want to rip someone a new ass and send it to them in a text in a foreign language, like Swahili), Kayak, HeyTell. These are my most used apps. I love my macbook pro, ipad2, iphone. iCloud is pretty cool (i haven't paid for any of it yet, just using the free space). I'm computer illiterate so apple is where it's at.

I was hoping not to have to spell it all out, but i see I should. This was not meant to piss anyone off....only to give some thought to an irritating couple of topics. I don't think it's wrong to expect that people will do a thorough search of the topic before they ask a bunch of questions and expect someone else to do the leg work. THIS IS A GENERAL STATEMENT !! IT'S NOT ABSOLUTE !! Early on i got flamed once or twice for not knowing my head from my ass but it didn't keep me away. I did, however, learn to come to the next thread more prepared. Not everyone refuses to search first, but it's becoming much more frequent and i think the veterans (of which i DON'T consider myself) get tired of it....POSSIBLY why you don't see some of them anymore. Simply put, do at least a moderate search before you ask a question to prove that you care enough to ask and don't rely on others to do it all for you. If you can't, get prepared for a flamejob...we've seen it a hundred times. As for making dumbass comments on other peoples threads, providing advice when it's not asked for, or blasting someone and making them feel stupid for asking a question that basic NON-AUTOMOTIVE people like myself don't really understand when they've clearly thought it through and possibly even done a little research, i think it's just common courtesy to reconsider the importance of your thread count and find a way to stay away from the keyboard. Holy shit that sentence ran on for a mile. I'm not angry about this, and hope no one else is. IT'S JUST A DISCUSSION !

Don't mistake this as me questioning how good this site is. It's still my most frequented and favorite site for many reasons.....and i'd like to see it stay that way. Brad, i agree with you...especially knowing and remembering that i was very much a noob for several years after i joined, but then it bleeds into what Brian said. Brian, i agree with a lot of what you said. I'm just not going to go any further d/t a couple of crown and cokes that tend to keep me from maintaining a politically correct attitude. Anyway, it's all just food for thought.

Maybe to a lesser degree but i think you'd be surprised to know how many on this site end up tens of thousands deep. Again, it would be interesting to know. What happens when you break that grand in the first month? Are you seriously going to stop? Do you have that kind of control, or that many other projects?

Looks good Tony. Nice work

You sound like you'll come to your own conclusion pretty quickly. The tune and transmission work are obviously a big deal for immediate needs without the creep setting in. It would be an interesting poll thread to have a range that creep has set in at a given moment in time, ie $1-2K, $2001-3K, $3001-4K, etc, etc. If enough people would post and they were completely honest, it would be pretty shocking to new owners i'm sure. Good luck

I know, me too. I didn't even know what STFU meant. Now i do and will.

Most of the time i tend to ignore a lot of the laziness or bashing that happens. And sometimes i'm guilty of enjoying the jabbing and trashing that goes on here, but lately it seems like a very helpful and friendly site is getting a little out of hand.....IN MY OPINION only. Sooooo, this is more simple venting and discussion. I know this would never happen and is probably not even an option, but here goes: We all do searches and come up empty, then turn to people on the forum for answers. Even when we don't do a very good search, it's pretty evident and we assume the risk of getting flamed when we ask the questions. But maybe people, new and old, don't realize that several of the questions being asked have been asked here at least 100 times over the years. The search on here can be finicky but WORKS when you're persistent. Is there a way to set up a tutorial on how to search for content before being allowed to become a member? I know the answer to that, so no need to answer. And random comments made to others posts....can you add a tutorial on how to STFU when you don't have anything helpful to add? Some comments are made to pad a post count, some just out of ignorance, some to truly be helpful but aren't and some just playful banter. But it's usually obvious which is which and some people just don't get it. That tutorial may help people understand when to add something and when to STFU. Again, i know neither of these is an option, but maybe this thread will be a tutorial in itself, at least for those reading it and commenting in hopes of reaching the almighty prize winning 10,000 post Tampax grand prize count. Please feel free to comment. I need help in my quest for 1000 posts.

In case he didn't say it, i will....Thanks sniper. Even after i can't find anything i wanna buy in the for sale section, i still log on to this site after several years as a member because of insight like yours on different subjects. You may or may not be correct in your statement, that's not the point. But you make a pretty interesting and valid argument without making anyone feel like a dumbass. If i want to look into this, i'll take your information and research further. If not, it's still interesting reading. Nice contribution on the subject.

Post pics of your current setup and what you see as the problem. My guess is you'll get advice on right fix within a few posts. It could be because of something installed previously or something you've done wrong....but i tend to agree with removing the place that the bump stop is attached to as the fix without seeing pics or in person. Good luck

If you need to sell NOW, you might be in trouble. You may consider putting up things you'll take on trade plus less cash to get it sold. Otherwise, keep working on it over time. At first glance, it looks like a hell of a clean truck. It'll sell eventually, just may take a few months.

Try Neil at D&F if you decide not to do it yourself. I've never used him but comes recommended.

This will give you some ideas of things to do: http://www.SilveradoSS.com/forums/topic/45198-most-popular-how-2-threads/ This will tell you what you're in for after the first mod you make: http://www.SilveradoSS.com/forums/topic/6247-modification-info/

There is a really good thread on here from some time ago with a number of really knowledgeable members opinions on what to do and where to start. If you can find it, it'll give you a good start at finding a way to blow any savings, retirement, grocery, crack, child support, or ___________ (fill in the blank) money you may have sitting around. If i find it, i'll link it.

That's some good shit right there. Glad to see it up and running strong

Shit Zach ! Any idea on a 're-grouping' timeframe and future plans?

Obviously we've talked about the above via PM, but publicly... that's a bitchin SS ! Can't wait to see it and ride in it to figure out how bad i Fu*ked up my ride, lol. Too bad the KC/GTG is on KSTATE's last home game. Obviously you won't make that one, but there WILL be a spring GTG. Maybe i'll try to drag everyone from Kansas and surrounding states to my pad in Manhattan.

I live along city park. If you're ever in the area pm me or drive by and say Hi. My truck is usually outside since the kids took over the garage.
