Hard to believe! Things have changed a lot, back then Larry and the mods ruled with an iron fist (even saying Edit wasn't allowed!), Pastor Bob was still alive and skunk working, Dave was "Faith"less, and I didn't know about 1st gen trucks!
I continue to learn from, and lean on your guys and have been the better for knowing you all!
Blessings,

That's pretty cool. I bet you remember a bunch of funny stuff that happened.

Oh man, do I. There used to be a Tuesday night live chat function and a bunch of us would get on there and laugh our ***** off!

Don't forget Monty, our intrepid moderator back in the day. And that all 12 valvers were in the same forum . . .

Glad to hear you are dusting off the truck again -- it is pretty hard to leave the reliability & simplicity of these trucks behind, eh?

Here's to another ten years!

Congrats, Mark.

Hope I live another 10 years to see your second time around..

Very Cool...10 Years man...Congrats.!!

As long as I have my crewcab...I will be here learning from others, and trying to help those who are just trying to keep these trucks on the road.

You made me go look. 2003 for me. It's been fun, ain't it!!

Cheers to you, M. Huppertz.

I met a bunch of the guys including Pastor Bob, Stomp, et al at the Piers Diesel Research 1st Gen day Summer of 2005.

These trucks are timeless.

I am too remote to go to any SOP or other events unfortunately.
I would have love to meet the good Pastor.

Lot of people have come and gone!

I have been here 10 years as of June 2014. I wish we got a little emblem on our avatar for 10 or 15 years like the Corvette forum does. It's not a big deal, but it does make you feel like you have been around awhile.

thrashingcows

Yeah me too....being in Cana"Duh" and on the left coast makes it a bit of trek to go to these events...

I miss the chat...

If I read you right, a very personal decision. by a prominent member of this forum, which could have been kept a secret, changed the forum? If I am not reading you right I apologize. What I have noticed in the 5 years that I have been here, is that many of the moderators that used to post a lot, rarely post anymore. Life is a female dog and things change, people die, people move on, people sell their trucks and heavy nitrogenous waste material happens. I am the only one that I know, besides people on this forum, that has a first gen. So, if I stroke out tomorrow and become incapacitated, I would just disappear from the forum, which I am sure would please a few of you ...Mark
