If you have suggestions on what you want to see in this, PLEASE feel free to reply to this post with your idea or simply send me a private topic. If you already have a link to a particular post in mind please include it. If not, don't be shy about making a suggestion anyway - I'll do the searches and try to pick a good example.

ADVERTISING
Registered members may post FREE personal for sale/want ads in the appropriate section. Commercial advertising in the forums by non-sponsors is NOT allowed under any circumstances and will be removed. The advertising section is located at the top of this forum listing, or simply click here for the 88-98 Fullsize Truck Classified Ad forum.

TIPS ON USING SEARCH
When clicking "Search" from the menu bar, you may want to go ahead to Advanced Search as you'll likely have better results. Then, be sure to click the icon next to "Mode" for tips on effective searching. The search tool works very well, but can be frustrating if you don't take a moment to learn about it. "Boolean" mode is powerful and allows very specific keyword searches; I recommend learning to use it! If the search you're doing is specific to these particular vehicles, scroll down the forum list in the box on the left and click the forum you want to search. More help with searching can be found in the Member Support Forum.

Important! Minimum search word size is 4 characters! If you're searching for something like a sensor name, you may need to try searching for the spelled-out name or partial name of the sensor, since 3 character sensor names like TPS, CTS, and the like will not register! Trouble codes may need to be searched by words that would be used in the same context. Whatever you use it must be at least 4 characters long.
