Question: GM monitoring sites
- Thread starter mmangels22
- Start date
Well, if you havent posted your name, address or VIN of your truck on the forum, or have posted pics of the license plate in your gallery, how is GM going to prove that you are mmangels22?
Sure, I guess they could go to the trouble of figuring out that you are the only Matt in San Mateo, CA with a 2005 Chevy Silver Birch CC/SB with a 6" Fabtech lift, and Toyos on MotoMetal wheels, but why? Thats a PITA to do, dont you think?
madmax, they're talking about Nick D'Amico, past owner of DieselPlace.
Thank's partner
I'm pretty sure once they have your IP, they have your name and address etc....
Unless you make all your posts from work or the library.
How is Gm going to get your IP addy from the forum? They dont have access to info like that, do they? I thought that was only accessable to the Staff.
How will GM find out who you are?
Hey GM, I have two cp3's and a bigger turbo:booty:

sounds like a DP question. its bs when som1 mods their truck n then tries to get wauced prob..... Ground rule u pay to play..... im :food: for more tech questions.... thats why im here:rules:
I suppose you could play that card, IF they found out who you were on any of a number of forums out there. But then you get into the ethical question of...why would a person expect them (in this case GM) to pay for an injector or other engine issue when theyre running a programmer that very likely contributed? In a hypothetical situation.

I needa rant...
I could give a flyin rats @ss if GM sees my mods....Because a GM dealer will never tough my truck again! Before i laid a finger on mine, it was all stock, i was denied injectors that were, clearly bad, that cost me plenty of time and money to amend. Dont callem stealerships for no reason
Dont get me wrong, im a GM man but there will always be some bad apples. They have a perfect ticket to lots of great info/ideas and at the same time, tools to backstab us at the blink of an eye, just the way this stuff works, besides GM too.

That guy is an ASSHOLE..........
If I am out of line please feel free to edit my post.
It's good to hear I'm not the only one that still get's pissed-off when I think about that...
Back on topic...
GM (and any other manufacture) would be fools not to be monitoring these forums.
They would also be fools if they started killing warranties based on these forums (our sig's and posts). Because if they did, we would stop posting and they would lose the free marketing and research!
^ X2 with the Nick D'Amico deal. He took the only duramax diesel forum and turned it into what? 5?
It seems like if GM read these threads, the problems that we have with these trucks would no longer be problems. Tierods etc etc and the list goes on. It also seems like projects like the 4.5 liter duramax would already be on its way right now rather than fiddle dinking around with the idea.
I am rather dissappointed in the person/department who's job it is to read these posts to convey enthusiasm or discontent of a product to the higher ups/CEO/CFO/ engineers at gm, if infact they do read these/this forums/forum.

i think they should read these for improvement reasons of their product and if they can find a way to void your warranty because what you did caused it they should why if i want a stock truck should i pay 45000 dollars for it because they are paying for parts that werent designed to do what your modifications are asking you know the risks when you pay to modify it so pay to fix it yourself you wanna play you have to pay:hug:
But the injectors are issues on these trucks in the first place so how could they prove my programmer at a "mild" tune caused the already known problem to fail when they are already known to fail, if that makes any sense
Let's be honest....does an injector care if it's open for 3000ms over 2000ms. I do expect the injection system to work reguardless of what tune I am running. The rods, pistons, trans, turbo, etc that's another issue.
