Thread for DIY mods

[JimmyH]

I have always been against stickies. People tend to ignore them thinking they are mostly forum rules.

However, if we get a good diy thread going here, I will pin it.

If the escalade forum has 1/10th the posts, it's because it has 1/10th as many members.

Yes, very true. The point I was making tho is that the Escalade board has many less threads and posts, so its much easier to sift through to find help. BUT, they still get 4 stickies. Even temporary stickies would help this forum until something better is done. There are just too many threads to sift through... MAybe 1 sticky with links to lots of different threads and posts? Something more encompassing then just DIY posts...

Anyhow, like you said youd do, feel free to delete all of my discussion when you clean up the thread. No worries mate!

what I would really like is for you guys to post links to other diy threads in here. If and when I get the time, it was my plan to do so.

But you guys would really be helping me if you could find all the good threads for me. I just don't have the time for it right now.

Once we get a whole bunch, I can then catalog them. Just post links in this thread, and then I will copy the applicable posts directly into this thread, so they are easily accessible.

If we can do this, I guarantee it would stop alot of new threads of noobs coming and looking for info. I would just have to figure out a way to draw their attention to it.

When you come right down to it, this is a discussion forum after all, not a help forum. Although it can, and does, serve that purpose also. But searching for info on a particular piece of information is the proverbial finding of the needle in a haystack. Sifting though threads of useless discussion is the downside to forums like this. But discussion is the primary purpose.

As far as Reed, yes, he has pretty much stopped updating the faq. He asked for volunteers to continue his work; I offered my services but never heard back from him.

[txbest1980]

congrats concorso, you have officially made the HATER list

Meh, his opinion matters as little as mine does.

Curious, tho...when did we get to the point where you can't dislike something without being called a hater? Apparently we all have to share the same opinion! Is it 1984 allready?

[Bluehaze07]

just f**kin around. you can say and feel what you like.... just be prepared to handle yourself.

[Bluehaze07]

ppl...to give you the BLUF...post if you have good links to DIY's to put on here. If you do not or if you think this post is useless, then let this post die in this forum's sea of threads.

for the fog lens removal, do you need a jack stand? Because there are lots of stuff that are supposed to be removed from under or inside and under the car, and I don't really know what to do. And I don't want to just stick my hand under my car and pull out whatever I can.

If you are referring to the DIY in Cadillacfaq.com, then just follow the instructions until you remove the wheel well cover. The rest applies only if you are removing the whole bumper.

Just so you know. I am getting my information from the posts here on the forum. I am going to do this diy on saturday.
