H3 FAQ ideas ... suggestions?

[Wisha Haddan H3]

I'm working on a FAQ for the H3 section and I thought I'd bounce my ideas off everyone before I got started. (Many thanks to humbebe for her ideas already).

Here's what I'm thinking so far (and any suggestions are welcome) :

1. I'll create a thread called H3 FAQ, that will act as a placeholder or container for links to the threads on the sections listed below. We'll ask a mod to make it sticky so it stays at the top.

2. For each section topic thread, I'll put the info I have into the initial post. Anyone can reply with suggestions, links, pics or new info (on topic please) or send me a PM. I'll update the original post about once a week to keep all the info at the top.

3. Some topics (like the "Mods" and "How-to" sections) are too big to live in a single thread. So they'll be placeholders like the main thread, where each subtopic links to a set of child threads containing the actual steps, pics or details.

4. Once the structure is in place, anyone can add pages to the FAQ. Just create a new thread and PM me. I'll put the link in the appropriate section and we'll be good to go.

Section Topics:

Acronyms and Definitions
Bulletins & Recalls
Common Problems/Fixes
Custom Fabricators
How-to Guides
Hummer Contact Numbers
Maintenance Tips
PCM/BCM updates
Specs - H3
Specs - Competitors

Mods - Interior
Mods - Exterior
Mods - Drivetrain/Performance
Mods - Wheels/Suspension


So what do you think ... ideas? thoughts? other topics?

FAQ:
NEVER post a photo of yourself on this forum. If you do, you will be by a few of the forum members for life.

I was going to charge the H2'ers for one with their codes....

[HummBebe]

Do we have a way of reading the codes? Onstar?

Not sure if Onstar will give you the code. Any programmer/scan tool can read the codes.
I do not believe there is a way to trigger the codes to display in the DIC. I have never tried this on the H3, but have heard it will not work.

since the AE's are usually looking for some ghey connections or something...

Can someone locate a scanner for us to include in the FAQ?

I created some FAQ pages in the Test area, and I'm happy with the concept.

Trouble is, there's a time limit to edit your posts. I want to keep all the main info in the initial post, but when the time runs out, I won't be able to add to it or change it.

I don't know who the H3 mods are anymore, so who do I PM to get better edit rights? Jason maybe? Sure would be a pain to PM the mods every time I want to update the FAQ.

Let me see what I can do...

So f5fstop, how permanent is the website you linked to? I'm wondering if I should copy the data off the page or just link to it? When I get the FAQ going, that is.
