thirdgenauto.com issues?
 

Please understand this is not a plea for business, but I am curious if anyone has had issues with our site or even had issues finding it? Something in the last three weeks has been like a light switch affect on website orders. Trying to troubleshoot potential google issues

I just went to the web site and it worked for me. I went through google to find it and it came up.

My guess is that it is related to the Holidays . . . I know a lot of folks concentrate on their families from around Thanksgiving to the New Year.

Just a hunch Michael - I hope things return back to "normal"! Have a great Christmas season and an even better 2025!

Michael, I too think that the holidays have gotten in the way of business in general.

Well, I know that anything that I tried to do (Google search, email submit etc) was much slower on the wonderful Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday.
So much for band width.

And while on these subjects: Ever notice that if you do a search on something, that in about a day you get all these pop-up ads for the thing you were looking for? Big Brother is not watching. Honest.

I checked your website last night looking for rear U-Bolts for a 1940 Ford. Wasn't able to find any, but the website seemed fine

Re: thirdgenauto.com issues?
 

Yep, I agree that it's just the holidays. Right now people are buying i-pads and x-boxes rather than t-stats and u-bolts.

Michael,
I just tried your site. Looks mostly fine except it looks like the Year search box doesn't work, nor does search by year. Otherwise it appears to be functioning as I remember.

If anyone is looking for a Christmas gift for me, it can be purchased at Third Gen. Michael will know what to get me.

I'm good on that product. Although that is a darn good price. I could use some muffler bearings, they are getting a little loud.

When I was there in July, he had a half dozen of those jugs.

Guess he has sold a couple since then.

Seth, avoid the Timken muffler bearings. The come from Ukraine and the backlog is terrible.

Do you sell this in a dinosaur blend, non synthetic?

For my 32, 3 Window I need a original Door lock with Key. Can you help me with this?

Seth...One of my local fabricator friends makes qwobble plates for the muffler bearings that are so good that you might be able to just replace the plates instead of the entire bearings.

No issues here at all. Ordered some small parts easily and they arrived down under promptly.

A friend just told us Wednesday evening her and her husband were talking about getting a new clothes washer and dryer combo and maybe they would look at Maytag.

All they were doing was talking in her living room.

She told us now they are being bombarded with pop up ads on their phones and desk top computer, with MAYTAG ADS.

Not only are they watching what you click on they are listening to your conversations. Alexus (sp?) is real bad for that. They just had their phone turned on laying there, it was listening to them.

There IS no privacy anymore you ARE being spied upon.

nelsb01--- you must be on wireless we are hard wired with fiber optic here and never had any problems, very fast internet connections.

No matter what the marketers try to sell you on bandwidth, wireless is by physical law (physics) very limited to what it can do. You will never have the bandwidth they 'sell' you on. Remember ... the phrase 'up to' means just that. From .01 MEG to infinity any number is 'up to' it means nothing. It's a marketing ploy, actually a lie but the 'up to' is the catch.And they know it.
