To whom it may concern,

I am wondering if it would be best for me to stop trying to help - when I feel I have something to offer.

Please do not get me wrong.
I truly enjoy helping others; when I know I can and I have something worthwhile to give, I will do my best to help.
I also am NOT looking for a pat on the back.
Knowing that I can help others, as others have helped me in the past, is all I need.

However, I do not feel that my help/input is being received well here.

I know that I do not own a GMC "yet", nor do a know much about them.
That is one main reason why I do not jump in to a lot of the GMC tech/help posts on this site.
I am a retired mechanic with some experience.
I’m someone who enjoy making things work again.
I also like saving a buck fixing stuff when I can, along with building and designing things.
I would like to think I learned something while working side by side with other mechanics who had more knowledge than I did at the time.
When I was a mechanic and even a business owner in USA, I was ASE certified on engine building, antilock brakes and tune-ups.
I even took drafting for years in high school and then AutoCad in college.

Do I continue to try and lend a hand when I think I have something to offer?
Or am I an outsider - “wannabe” to others?

Thanks, Tony

Marie and I are blessed to have had a 2nd chance to buy our farm.
Still hoping and more importantly praying to be able to build a garage.
Our 1970 Ultravan #520 has an Olds Toronado 455 in back.
