People worry about the same posts over and over but no ones bats an eye to old vendor posts that are in every section that are just continually bumped. When I first came here to the forums a couple of years ago I would see these post and click only to find out they were YEARS old and just been bumped. Oh and god forbid you post on an old thread!!! Run for the hills for that!

It was somewhere in the 2002-2003 models. Check if you have yellow springs. Replace with the updated blue springs. Change can be done in a couple hrs in your own garage without the need for compressed air.

Pretty easy to also look up and see the Sticky thread about this very subject. As for posting on an old thread, many of the new posts are silly and add nothing to the thread. As for the vendors posting constantly in every forum, I agree 100% that it's damn annoying but the Admins and Mods are powerless to do anything. It's all about the almighty dollar and all of us just have to put up with it, unfortunately.

Oh, I definitely agree but this site is the worst I've seen. Some days, sponsor ads almost outnumber member threads in C5 General.
