It's been almost 24 hours since I asked two questions on this fourm. No replys back yet!!!. I guess its useless to ask and I will have to go elsewhere. This fourm is CRAP!!!

Ahem, 2 things:

1) You need to remember to be SPECIFIC when asking a question. In your first post, we had no idea what engine you were talking about and in the second, we don't know the engine size. I had a neighbor with a '98 Malibu with the V-6 that regularly towed a 2,000 lb. boat, even though Chevy only recommends 1,000.

2) Summer weekends draw people outdoors and away from the forums. So, speedy answers are harder to come by. Solution is to plan ahead better.

Well at least that got an answer. I did not say what size engine, but I did say head "gaskets" as well as manifo "gaskets". Dead give away unless a 4 cylinder engine has more than one head. Also when a problem arises, it arises. There is no way to plan ahead for such things. It seems alot of the other questions are getting answers. It must be someone to help me out.

With all due respect to the board ...

Hey Sailorman3 you seem to act like a small child.I would not even reply to you even if i knew the answer to your question with that comment you made on the board.

Yesterday I also asked a question that took a while to be answered but I understood that people have things to do on a Sat night ...

Well, take your BUTT on! This is a free forum and, just like a street, it goes two ways. Those seeing you leave are like those seeing you come. Eventually (sooner or later), they all see your BUTT! Now if someone gives you an answer that saves you hundreds or thousands of dollars, do you thank them? I think not. So whay should we shed tears because you have a bad attitude? Thats what I thought. BTW, I answer many questions and sometimes I cannot get mine answered. But I keep on asking. No does not always mean no.

I'm really hurt. If I had to rely on this fourm to save me money, I would be in big trouble. I guess if any one really knew the answer I would have gotten it. I've seen some of the answers that people have gotten for their questions. Not very good .I'll end this right now. I won't be back on this fourm and if I want to, I will just re-register under another name.

Ya, you gotta learn to respect the people at this forum. If you take time and be nice, you'll find out there are some VERY knowledgeable people here, and they are VERY helpful. If you want a speedy reply, go to some place and PAY for a speedy reply, while here people do it out of their own decency and kindness, they have families to take care of, I doubt the first thing they think of waking up is coming here and helping impatient people like you. And it can also be a easy typo to say gaskets instead of gasket, so people would want to be sure they know what you're asking, before they accidently give false information...then you'd complain even more.

I am very grateful for this fourm! I've just found it and it's been unbelievable to see how many people have the same freaking problems with these malibus! It's too bad!

Hey, bcopeland. I just had to thank you for all of your generous free help that you give all of us. I am Edward's wife and I was on today doing a search to find out what was wrong with my 2003 chevy malibu and man was I glad for you. The theft thingy was what was wrong. We turned the key over, waited for the light to go off and cranked it. Now, we are going to try the toggle switch thing so we don't have to keep worrying with this thing. By the way, I don't know who that sailorboy, guy, or whatever he is, is because we are new to this forum, but anyways, how rude and ungrateful is he! I have been praisin' the Lord all day that He led me to this site and forum and to you. Thank you, bcopeland. I searched your name and saw just how many people that you help on here and all I can say is God bless you!
