I just don't understand the nnbs stuff. Its confusing to read the title. Why not use the GMT numbers which exactly match the truck. In 07 there were gmt800 and 900.. and in 99/2000 there where gmt400 and 800. Is it really that hard to switch to the gmt numbers?

Either you are too old to change or too young to know better

Besides... this is a tech site and with all the knowledge on here using the nbs crap doesn't make sense

LOL, this doesn't apply for just this website. I'm on about 10 different chevy websites and everyone uses the NBS/NNBS/OBS sayings. It's just going to confuse new members.

And yes it is that hard, and won't happen.

LOL, just keep doing it. Maybe it will catch on. I don't care either way. I'll just keep saying 99-07 NBS or 07-up NNBS because new members usually understand that better.

TTT LMAO......just saw this in your sig. Why would people do this if they cannot call a TQ CONVERTER a TQ CONVERTER? It is not a "stall"....you did not get your "stall" today, a stall is where I keep my horses.

Doesn't make a damn to me either way, but I think the one that gets me the worst is "verter" it is a TORQUE CONverter... Is a verter a torque converter that you cut the hub off of so you don't have to call it by its full name? I'm even ok with converter... But at least type out ONE of the words in its entirety.

And I'm with you on the "stall" Brian... My AQH looks nice in mine

I don't mind "verter", it's slang...much better than saying "stall", that I don't care for.
