I say thank you to all of DSMCentral for all your help over the years. I may not have a DSM anymore, but when I did this was the go-to place for all my technical help. I appreciate all that you do for the central IL area DSM community!

I guess what made me realize this is all the misinformation on the web. It's really easy to get some bad advice when in need of help. I've been posting more over on the S10 forums since I'm getting another pickup this weekend and it's just not the same over there. Huge amounts of people giving wrong information out without rhyme or reason. Just instances where you see the blind leading the blind. You try to correct them and they just prove their ignorance. I've gotten so frustrated with them that I've quit posting in the mechanical help section.

Thanks to everyone that's helped me over the years and I hope to help more DSMers in the future!

It's sooo pitiful some of the replies I see. Like this one:

Overheating causes aluminum heads to crack every time.
Pretty sure aluminum warps and melts. Not a whole lot of cracking unless it's under a ton of pressure.

Catalytic converters do not reduce the amount of Hydrocarbons.
Pretty sure that's why they're there in the first place.

And ticking lifters get you tons worse gas mileage.
Yep, I get such bad gas mileage because my lifters have buildup on them.

I've just given up on these guys. They're beyond help. If you do try to help them, it just ends up being an "I'm right you're wrong" fight.
