When I first started reading the TDR I learned alot from reading the 911 archive. I found it very helpful to just surf there, because I had no experience with these trucks and it was a good way to learn when you were so ignorant that you did not know what questions to ask. It was pretty cool to see a problem posted , various solutions offered , problem solved, and thank yous all around.
The difference between then and now is that it seems that many who ask for help do not bother to tell the rest of us when and how the problem was solved. I think that is very rude to the guys that hang out here and are willing to help out their fellow TDR members. It also hurts the opportunity for the rest of us to learn more about our trucks,because even when the troubleshooting happens, sometimes the solution is something nobody thought of. Now I doubt that the ''helpers''among us help you out just to receive recognition, but how long do you think they will take the time to help out if you do not even bother to post the solution?
What could really save some time [and space] on this website is instead of putting old 911 threads in the archive, maybe the ''great unsolved mysteries''-- [the unresolved threads]could go to a category called 911-Great Unsolved Mysteries. Maybe they could simply be deleted.
The benefits of doing this would be that when you did a search, it would really separate the wheat from the chaff. If searching were more productive, it could actually cut down on needless posting-- and result in a better website.
I posted a similar post on the website roundtable, but no moderator has yet replied. Thanks for your time.
