We've been having a discussion in the staff area and wanted to get everyone's input on it... what do you think about re-combining the 2nd-gen 3.5L and 2nd-gen 4.0L forums into one? The separation was created awhile ago when membership started increasing, however review of the topics in both areas shows a lot of duplication. Additionally, Custom88 pointed out that there are very few topics that are engine-specific and do not apply to the other model. Just wanted to open this up to all members before we make any major changes to the board. Thoughts, ideas, agree, disagree?

A good idea. Even though I have a 4.0, I answer a lot of questions about the 3.5.

It should make searching alot more effecient. Right now its kind of the Department of Redundancy Department.

Personally, I prefer the 2 forums, as the 3.5 and 4.0 have different engine/trans combos.
But majority will rule, I'll accept either.

I'm for it too, only because the engine/transmission are the only differences between the two cars. A vast majority (I'd guess 80%+) of the posts in either the 3.5 or 4.0 board pertain to both vehicles, not just one or the other. very very few topics are drivetrain specific, therefore to keep redundency to a minimum, and to make searching in the future easier, it would probably be easier just to keep a broad 2001+ section. 90% of the topics there will be non-engine related anyways. To divide it by engine/transmission would mean really that there should be a 2001-2002 3.5 forum, and 1995-2003 4.0 forum, but that wouldn't be a good grouping, either. For simplicity, it'd probably just be best to group them by years, not their engines. Don't get me wrong, I can see why it might be thought that we'd need it, but, we don't seem to have enough drivetrain posts to warrant the division.
