... There seems to be a lot of people out there that don't post. Their new to the GMC community. We. The older owners need to pass on the things we know. To them in any way we can. For me. I'd donate to the cause to post photos. I try to make my post for these new members. The site is owned privately by Patrick Flowers. It's 100% his call. He's refured to himself as a benevolent dictator in e-mails. Many have donated to him to help with the cost. It's been a good site. And I thank him. Can we aid Patrick to add photos? Ask GMCMI to start a site with photos. I'm not the one that knows any of the issues involved. ( Refer to my comment at the start of this e-mail. ) It comes down to helping to keep the repairs safe. And the safety of our families on the road. Bob Dunahugh

I've not found that to be an issue (in recent years).

I just tested the search function and in seconds found the pics of my cockpit seat replacement from almost three years ago. Clicked "search" and typed: sienna seats.

I've found many other "old" posts in the same manner. I guess you need to recall something about the post to create the search term - but that's the same as any search engine, no?

since then Ive found the GMCMI site and it is superb with some of and in many cases the best information Ive found. the tech presentations that seem to have been slide shows at their events converted to .pdf files you can download are fabulous! really top notch..

if GMCMI had its own forum, each could be put into its own thread and further interactive discussion with new discoveries could be done there on these particular subjects. I also think after looking into the GMCMI org more that it really is the best org to host a forum because it should out live all of us so all the time folks spend working on forum threads there would no be gone in an instant like we all will be oneday.

for the time being, 'it is what it is' and Im thankful for the time/work all the GMC folks have done here on the internet to freely share their time, work, and GMC projects with all of us.

this is what is holding the GMC folks back now though, like a governor on the throttle linkage.. the new injection systems are going on everywhere except the internet. time to inject some new code here too.

You are missing important things on so many levels.

If you think that the presentations as *.pdf are good, you need to get to an international. The next one is in Amana.

This is the GMCMI Forum, and the also the forum for the other twenty chapters as well. The fact that they have not coordinated to combine all the information is a decision made by those individual chapters.

This is a supportive and helping community like very few others. We all benefit from this.

If you believe that this is what is holding the community back, then I am afraid that you do not know and/or have never dealt with GenX or Millenials. Many have been carefully schooled to have no patience and have never done any research that cannot be completed with "Google". If they are satisfied with one immediate source, then a GMC is not something that they should endeavor to posses.

You still have not entered anything like the sigfile that we use here. It has a great deal of purpose.

Thank You
