3rd Geners suck.

It seems that the more I read 3rd gen threads the more I realize that only a handfull of people know what they are talking about or have any origional ideas. It seems they are afraid to mod their trucks in any way other than instructions from a box. Really no new ideas. So thats why I am going to start posting here when I am doing something different and I run into a snag. You guys have more ideas and aren't afraid to try something new. Hope you guys don't mind.

Yes it is. But I not talking about the trucks in general. I like my truck it works great. What I talking about is the rediculos threads that are posted there. Nitrogen in tires is an example. Its under the high performance section and there is about 30 replies with everyone giving their .02. The kinda crap that they babble on about. You want to get a good laugh just read some of these threads in the hp and stock drivetrain posts.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Everyone has to start learning somewhere.

I normally don't base my opinion of a particular group on a few people, either.

Madhat 100% ^ agreed. But theres no argument on that.
i guess we need a 3rd gen guy that knows everything so he can steer us right and give bright ideas.

I really think I'd rather have a 6.4 powerstroke than a 3rd gen. There's just too many 3rd gens running around here. Every 22 year old has one, it seems.

Sure they do... they are just made for another vehicle or different purpose all together.
