Hey im changing out my rear diff oil next weekend and I was wondering how many quart's that it takes to fill it up? Any info would be great. Thanks.

matt

DeiselRed

Awsome... I will deffinatly look into the tru-trac....Did you buy any other parts for the rear end before you installed it or just the unit itself?

DeiselRed

Hey guys :wave: I have a 7.625 10bolt 28 spline rear diff without gov-lock and I was wondering what your input would be on installing a locker? I have been looking around and I think the Powertrax No-Slip would be my best bet. I have heard alot of good reviews on them and I was wondering what your i...

So if i was going for a flowmaster muffler I would do 2 1/2 in 2 1/4 out?

DeiselRed

Before the Cat it is 2 1/2 but after the cat it is 2 1/4. from what I hear

DeiselRed

Have you tried the Slick Trick broadheads? they fly just like feild points up to like 30 yards with my setup.

DeiselRed

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knew the exhaust size of our stock CC's? I think they are 2 1/4 but im not sure. Im looking into a new muffler and want to get the stock measurements right. Thanks

DeiselRed

Ended up doing the test today. Looked over a few things. And after I did everything as shown I figured it out. Fuel pressure regulator. Problem solved.

DeiselRed

Back to the drawing board. Start up's became weak again and taking long time to fire while cranking over. I was an idiot and cancled my appointment to get a fuel pressure test done because I thought i solved the problem. Now I have to wait untill monday. Will post results of the test.

DeiselRed

Haha yeah it is. And even then I am under a extended 3 year warranty when I bought the vehicle. And Yep I think the problem is solved. Thank you for your guidance everyone

DeiselRed

Fuel Filter was done today by me and a friend. And I Can say that the entire contents in my filter was completly black. I honestly think that was the stock filter that it has ever had because it was a BI*** To get off. The last 4 start ups have been clean and crisp. I think it has been resolved. I w...

DeiselRed

If the fuel pump is an issue. That will be determined tommarow once I get a fuel pressure test done. For now, I am doing my fuel filter today. Im leaning towards a bad fuel filter or pump still though. We will see what the results give. I will get to the bottom of it!

Matt

DeiselRed

I will do that Henry J. But I will have the fuel pressure test just to be in good measures

. I will keep you updated

Edit: Fuel Filter is getting installed tommarow by myself and a friend. Will let you know if that is the cause.

DeiselRed

Yes sir, Thursday the results will come in. My theory is that I actually ran my truck very low on gasoline by accident a couple weeks ago. I think I could have damaged my fuel pump or burned it out because I was so low, (under a galon in the reserve) untill I got to the gas station. So that's my the...

DeiselRed

But also my issue is that its about a 50/50 chance of the starting up problem. Thats why I was leaning towards more of spark plugs/wires and such like that. If it was a fuel pump or injectors wouldnt it always have problem starting up?

DeiselRed

Thank you. You guys are very helpful. Will keep you updated.

DeiselRed

Thank you for the info guys.

DeiselRed

Recently when I last filled up my tank with gas and let it sit for about a couple hours, I get into my truck to start it and it is taking an awfully long time to fire. This is the second tank that has started to become like this. However, I did throw octane booster and a FI cleaner into my last tank...

I would like to see pictures as well.

DeiselRed

Looks good!

DeiselRed

hahaha you should make a photo album in N.O.S of all your sweet pictures!!! They're impressive!

DeiselRed

Agreed Steve! Haha I think im going to just go with 31's after a T-bar crank and just go very light mudding and deal with some rubbing.

but F9k9 that is a phenominal picture....pretty badass I must say!!! True off roading there in the middle of the woods

DeiselRed

I was planning to do some moderate mudding with my CC so I would go 31's if I was always on the road. I dont wanna be smacking my frame or fenders when im going into some mud pits ya know? have you went mudding with 31's before?? Im just trying to hear someones experiences off-roading with 31's and ...

DeiselRed

you have 31's? Did you do any cutting to make them fit without rubbing???

DeiselRed

I have seen a couple crew cabs around my area. But I do not see them every day. Probably see about 2-3 a week. I have only seen 1 other CC with the ZR-5 Appearance package though....Those you dont see every day. Feels good to own one :). I have had people come up to me and question me on my truck be...

DeiselRed

hahahahahhaha!!!!!! that was AWSOME

DeiselRed

I like the way you did that fallvitals....looks very good......its still bugging me how exactly you made the stock flares work though..

DeiselRed

Lol your right....Im just going to do the minor mods to my truck and lay off the 6 inch....Ill go full size for my next truck and jack it up in the later years of my life. College and working part time does not cut it haha. Sorry for raiding your thread fallvitals :evil: :oops: And ouch that is alot...

DeiselRed

I wanted to do the cuts and throw 33's on but I think im just gunna save my pennies for the superlift next year...

DeiselRed

Did ya do the cuts yet?

DeiselRed

Thank you for the info f9k9

. Yeah im going to start blasting it with PB pretty much now since it's going to take a couple days for the shackles to come in.

DeiselRed

Thank you henry for the reply. I also did not know that. I did order the 2" shackle though. I will be posting pictures of my crew this weekend

Just gotta get some rubber and she will be complete.....for now.

DeiselRed

Alright. Will do with those.

DeiselRed

I was looking at the fabtech 2 inch shackle set but I was wondering if they were non-greasable. They dont say anything about being either.

DeiselRed

It took me and my buddy with air tools about 6 hours, everything done right as instructions show, untill we ran into a problem. my kit was missing 6 bolts, 12 washers, and 6 locknuts for the front bumper brackets. Had to run to tractor supply and and buy some...fabricated the bolts because they were...

DeiselRed

Where it says quantity would I have to hit 2??? for 2 shackles or does both shakles come together in a kit as 1?

DeiselRed

Thank you paintballrocker!!

Appreciate everyones response.

DeiselRed

For everyone here who has installed 2" Shakles, What brand did you get? Could you link where to buy as well because im having some trouble looking these up. Any help would be great....Thanks.

DeiselRed

I also have a 03 ZR-5 in Red. Alright then so I will pretty much just do what you said and work the filler neck out slowly to get that extra length. And I have good jacks and some 2x4's haha. Air tools too!!! :) Should be a fun time. Im paying my buddy to do it this weekend. Hes a good mechanic. Tha...

DeiselRed

It seems that people have having problems with installing the fuel filler extension. Like said, Do you actually need to install the fuel filler extension or is there enough slack in the line to just loosen the clamps and stretch it to its full extension? Im doing my PA 192 lift this weekend and I am...

DeiselRed

Since I did not want to start a new thread and we are talking about tires, I was wondering something. In your opinion, What 30x9.5 tire is the meatiest? (most tread compound on it) I was debating on either the KM2 BFG or the Firestone destination MT on being the tires with the most tread compound. W...

DeiselRed

PA body lift is ordered...I plan on doing the T-Bar tweak right after my body lift is done. Now another question is I know that the 30x9.5's will fit. But could I squeeze in 31's?? Depending on the type of Tire? Or would I need spacers? I was looking at the BFG MT KM2's and the 31x10.5 seemed to loo...

DeiselRed

LOL omg...I bet that would be a Oh crap moment...must have scared you a little bit ^_^

DeiselRed

Ahhh I understand. Thank you very much.

DeiselRed

Can you use stock ZR-5 rims to fit the 30x9.5s? And do you need 3in wheel spacers in the rear to fit them as well?

DeiselRed

Wonderful Idea.

DeiselRed

Thank you very much HenryJ and 04crewvt =]

DeiselRed

So....I bought a 3-year extended warranty for my ZR-5. I was wondering if a 2'in body lift would void that? What do you think?

DeiselRed

that looks great

thats with a 2in BL with 30x9.5s?

Probably did the T-Bar crank and shackles in the rear?

Thats pretty much the look im going for.

DeiselRed

Can you go bigger then if they would look small? 0_0

I suspect the other mods would need to be done if your going any bigger right?

DeiselRed

Would you need spacers to fit 30x9.5 in order to not rub correct? I do plan on getting a 2in bodylift soon. The shackles and T-Bar mod will be next.

I guess my main question is would 30x9.5 fit with just a 2in bodylift.

DeiselRed

Without altering anything in the suspension can you go 30x9.5?

And could you use bushwackers extend-a-flares to fit 33's?

and everything else is awnsered in the thread

DeiselRed

So with a 2" in Body lift you can fit 30x9.5s with no problem correct?

DeiselRed

Hey im just wondering what would be the best reputable 2in BL for the ZR-5?

And for the fender flare extension to fit 33's. If you do the Skidz Cut Out's. What flares can you get to fit over the cuts?

Thanks.

Matt

After alot of thinking and checking things out. I noticed when my Rotors were done. My pads were not done. After being told my pads were also replaced, it was not shown on the paper work. After I asked the tech who did my rotors, he said that they "looked new" which is very un-proffesional and stupi...

DeiselRed

Shocks are stock from I see. Im going to check for loose bolts today and lube up what I can. I'll let you know how it goes.

EDIT: Lubbed what I could and checked bolts in suspension. Everything seemed to be tight.

Still there.

DeiselRed

I just got my alignment done a couple days ago because it needed one bad. I will pick up a can of Superlube though and spray it on the T-bar sockets. And the dealer has an alignment shop within it. I will let you know how it goes.

DeiselRed

Im going to see if I can just get them replaced by the dealership. It does not make a creaking noise when im turning though? Thats the weird part. Its only when there is very minimal weight put on the front end, When I am braking lightly. If I put on the brakes hard it goes away. It sounds like a sc...

It has around 63k on it. Its a 2003. And im from Connecticut its been very cold ranging from 5-35 degrees F. And yes, it is my first truck. The creaking is very loud though. Sometimes it seems to come and go. I had my old man stand at the front of my house and he heard it while I was about 30 feet b...
