Please help me understand...Maybe just me. I do understand people posting questions that are vehicle specific. Posters leave out what model, brand or size out of their question. But what I don't understand is how people can give answers without knowing more specifics. Examples...What oil should I run in my diesel? I have duel axle trailer, what is the proper torque for lug nuts? My weather stripping is bad, what type should I buy. My awning is bad, how do I fix it? How can anybody give a correct answer without knowing more details?

Senior members of more than 5 years presence here have psychic powers. :p

I will often give a little detail of what I would do in my situation without telling the OP what he should do in his specific situation. If the OP doesn't think it important to give the details of his situation, then he may have to read a whole bunch if guessed opinions before he find's the one he "likes". :)

And, some just make it up as they go..... :B

And it is obvious that some people don't read the post completely before they answer.
