Forum courtesy
I Know this is public forum full of many opinions. But there are some things that should be addressed.
1. If you don't like something about someone's truck, keep that to yourself. We are all here for the same reasons. We love OUR trucks, and want to help each other. If you are here for any other reason, you need a hobby.
2. If you don't know the answer to someone's question, it's ok. Silence is better than the wrong advice. Trouble shooting is one thing, incorrect info is something else.
3. If you aren't going to contribute to a thread or conversation, then don't use it as an oppurtunity to correct someone for their grammar or mis use of a term. It makes you look a lot less intelligent than you think. We have ALL made mistakes while posting. We don't need that pointed out by trolls.
4. Forums are meant to be communities. For people with like interest to go and talk to other people. Use it as a tool to meet people, not a place to hide behind a screen and toss insults.
Just thought I would add my $.02. I'm new to the forums, but not new to the auto industry. I have modified and done a lot of my own work on every vehicle I have ever owned. I have met a lot of great people, and I have met a lot who aren't.

1) I'll say what I think. If you don't like that don't post your truck on a public forum. What do you expect, everyone to love everything you do? Seriously...
2) Agree
3) Oh come on. The guy posting "lol i lyke dis truk on blak 24 chormies bro its sick bro" REALLY needs to be put in his place. Get over it.
4) What if the "insults" are true? What if they're simply my opinion? I think lifted 2WD's are ridiculous, if I say that to some guy who lifted his 2WD, is it insulting to him? Probably, but see my response to point number 1.

All good points!
It is amazing how many keyboard cowboys there are. Also pretty sad when the only thing you can do to validate your existence is to correct some inane fact on a web forum.
Another thing, Seriously, I really don't care if you are 100 lbs over weight while towing, or you speed 70 mph in a 65 zone, you put a programmer on your truck before or after warranty is up. Ecoboost or 5.0, variety is the spice of life! Pretty sure everybody picked one with their truck. Live with it. Its all good.
None of these things will hurt my day one way or another. Get over yourselves. Thanks.

I agree on the false info though.

Meh.
Seems like my kids' soccer games these days. Everyone shows up, everyone gets a trophy. Life's not fair. Some people are nice, and have manners. Some don't. A cross section of both happens to own a computer and an F150.
