lope tune

[Texas Chevy]

I reallye this doesn't get me on the list of blocked people lol but if there is a thread I'm not interested in I just don't look at it. I don't agree with smoke tunes or lopes but If I don't like somethig on someone elses truck I just for do it to mine or recommend it. Like I said don't hate me for this I'm just saying

We should make new arrivals submit a resume with references in addition we should draw up a maturity test with a short question and answer test to see their quality of typed words they will post! :roflmao:

Seriously I cannot read those other forums it's like reading the comments on you-tube. I don't even go to the place anymore and read.

Agreed.

I think we need an entrance exam. I liked the quote on CompD where one member said that their forum was "graduate school". I see this forum as a Duramax Performance P.H.D. course.

I second the "ignore" button.

Everyone does this and it works for a while...until all the techs leave and you have a board full of off-topic/useless bullshit. (See DF/DP).

We are known as the most technical, information based Duramax forum in existance. I'd just rather not see it get fcked up and abandoned because 90% of the posts are useless shit. (See DF/DP).

The only way to do this is to either actively recognize intentional stupidity and ignore it, hoping it goes away, or actively ban the malicious users' IP addresses.

Well put!

I asked a lot of questions here "back in the day" (I know I haven't been here as long as some) and knew I was getting sound information. The majority of the original members had a reputation that preceded them and you knew the information was sound.
Now I use the search function, and maybe I'll post some random related stuff in the "Smoke Signals" section.

Sounds easy in theory, but it seems most have trouble keeping their opinions out of these threads...

or actively ban the malicious users' IP addresses.

Kat has banned DOZENS of malicious/troll usernames/IP addresses and will continue to do so...

Good. Maybe they will stop coming here. DD isn't a bouncy castle.

If someone wants to ask a question, that is not a crime, and I personally don't like how some of you think it is your job to criticize anyone for asking a question you don't like. If you don't like it, ignore it, and it will die. I promise. To the posters who ask "stupid" questions, don't get upset if you get replies you don't like or if you don't get any replies. I also don't like the comments where people say they wish this was more like CompD. This is NOT CompD, and I'm glad it isn't. I would prefer this to be a place where people can discuss things like adults. I don't want it to be a place where one group has a ruling opinion, and if yours differs from theirs, you are berated until you either fall in line with the pack or you don't post anymore. That isn't what this place is about. Everyone should try to keep that in mind.

I didn't mean the "clique" mentality of CompD. To be honest, I didn't pick a lot of that up myself.
I meant the push for members to communicate like intelligent human beings, because it reflects on the site. I don't mean all posts should look like a college essay, but at least try to make it come across as a complete thought using established words. I didn't see a problem here until the recent influx of new members.

Don't confuse the uninformed/misinformed with intentional idiocy.

There are no stupid questions as long as they are honest. When people make multiple accounts to troll/clutter informative threads is where I have an issue.

Like I said above:

We have a 'no-ban' policy here and I understand the true reason for that is to keep information truthful, fair, and unbiased.

These idiots do not fall into that category. It is intentional stupidity (trolling).....

 

[DMAXchris]

I'm surprised people replied with serious answers.

Harmless screwing with the Dodge/Fjord guys on occasion isn't bad but please don't bring that crap here fellas!

 

[MACKIN]

Lets not start eating our own over a couple of ricers gone diesel. That is very well put by the way! I don't believe this site will go south over a little grab ass either. If you insult new visitors or become to harsh you will scare away some from participating. Most of the time these issues work themselves out. Just relax. A little banter is humorous and harmless. This BB is well known as a Duramax performance website and has a good balance a couple of bad apples won't ruin the bushel. We'll chase then out chill!

The problem is the people that want 'smoke tunes' are the reason we have crap like the DPF shoved down our throats... Forgive us if some of us feel contempt for people that want these 'smoke tunes'. Now, the OP asked about a lope tune, but 'lope' and 'smoke' kinda fall into the same 'diesel ricer' categoty.

Honestly i dont know much and im nobody here but when i first became a member of this forum i was glued to my phone whenever i was awake looking at ALL the new posts and threads and subscribing to anything that interested me in an effort to learn as much as possible. Recently i have even noticed myselff that with all the new members im seeing flooding in the "tech" content of this board seems to have gone down hill and subsequently i have noticed my loss of enthusiasm for combing the new threads section. but then again what do i know........

 

[dwax]

I guess someone has said this already but I skipped to the last page to just say lope tunes are bad.

Seriously? What you're experiencing right now is a slower part of the season. Happens every year you'll see. You're always going to see these types of threads you have young guns getting into these vehicles that just don't have a clue. Our responsibility is to educate them. Some who want to learn will the others will disappear.

You're exactly right Mack. This does happen every year. Everyone gets busy with the holidays and isnt as worried about getting their truck back together for the big pull or race. Now is also the time when guys start to get pissy and start reading into the posts too much because most of us are in the cold and the truck is on hold till warmer weather which gives us too much time to be on the web. myself included.

I also agree with it being our responsibility to educate the new guys on our beloved hobby. we all had to start somewhere too. Sometimes the true newbies get bored using the search button all the time and want to participate in the discussions too so they end up asking the same questions over and over again. That's ok as they will either progress and truly join in or fade away.

Once upon a time, I had a lope tune. I had a dsp2 switch and the lope tune was on my hot pull tune. It was there mostly so I would know which tune I was in because the pull tune was way too much for my stock trans to handle on the street. I liked it. My friends liked it. I have now switched to a dsp5 and no longer have the lope. Hope this helps

If you all want to educate, dont criticize the newer people for asking about something that A.) They are clueless about. Point of a question correct? B.) Because you know about the topic and the history of it, does that make it right to bash the people for wanting something they want? This lope tune is a phase. I've noticed this with alot of the people that posted here. Alot have had the lope tune. The most of that percent got rid of it. I still have mine in, doesnt work well when the truck is warm, but makes for a nice fast idle at that point. If you want to educate then educate. Dont bash over something that you can just easily say, "Hey dont do that. Its not good for your ride." I know ive asked some dumb questions on here before, and i havent got bashed for them. Just again my .02 on the topic. :cool2:

Your right but it started to go south and I couldn't help myself.

A lope tune IMO has no purpose . It cannot be used as drivable tune and it's sole purpose again MO is just to make your truck sound like it has a cam in it like a gasser,stupid. As far as it helping warm up your truck, well if you say so ,I have my doubts.

Anyway,who cares but for sure when not if,it comes up again I believe that it will be ignored or perhaps a link to a previous discussion would be in order and closed.

 

[millerman04]

I wasnt saying it helps warm up the truck. I ment that when the truck has been warmed up and ran a while, its wont lope. It acts like a fast idle then. Kinda weird really.
