−	== ~~Goal~~ ==	+	== Introduction ==
		+	This job was done on a 1999 Tahoe. It is expected to cover most late 90's and 2000's era Chevy and GMC pickup trucks, Tahoes and Suburbans. I am unsure about the specific years, but take a look at your truck and you should be able to see if it is similar.

−	My original Goal was to create a website that is the most comprehensive website for Automobiles. However, as I soon found out while looking for a Domain Name that there were not many good choices related to cars. Some how I came up with Combustory and it made me think of the History of Combustibles in general. So I decided on a site that would include all machines dependent on Combustibles. As you can see from the list below it is a fairly significant task that will require a world of help, so please feel free to join in the task by emailing me to create an account and start creating content.
