Hey guys I'm going to be selling the CC soon and figured I'd pass along these flares to someone else that will appreciate them! The fronts were never installed, and the rears were installed for about 2 weeks. I bought them thinking I needed tire coverage for passing inspections but I didn't need em....

paintballrocker

i thought my rear main was leaking, turned out to be the pressure sensor leaking down the back of the block

paintballrocker

Reed- I can show a picture of them sitting in my shed haha I only had them on for about 2 weeks till i took them off because i bounced them off a few trees and did not want to break them! But they are going back on before I ship my truck back to the states. Stucky- I currently do not have a front ax...

paintballrocker

well almost a full container of 50/50 coolant and a good burp fixed her. I checked all around the intake with a mirror when i had the throttle body off one time and didnt see any signs of leaking. My oil fill cap does have a few drops of moister on it here recently, but even if i have a minor leak I...

t stat and rad cap was replaced montha go with both rad hoses, acdelco 190* fail safe tstat, rad cap with a spring loaded venting cap. went and check to day when i woke up. dip stick oil is good, just normal color.

So I was driving my truck to work today after getting home from a 3 week long military trip. Before I left I had no issue when driving the truck, even when going for 3+ hours playing in the mud and dirt roads. Anyways I drove to work and noticed my my hot air turned to cold air, Check and saw the te...

paintballrocker

glad to hear it man! Makes me jealous I have to wait a few more months till i move to do it haha

paintballrocker

once again i go back to my first post, they are exactly the same!!

paintballrocker

i might of missed it by skimming quick, but are you re-pinning the stock harness or splicing in a donor v8 harness?

paintballrocker

any worries about the little 2.8 mounts holding up to the 350? Does the steering shaft interfere with the headers with the body lift, i know the website says it might? and what was the mod to the fuel spider, i know the stocks ones dont offer much performance.

Thanks bud!

paintballrocker

i just used a big flat head to pry the clips off.

paintballrocker

Yes dang MOT inspection was a pain in the butt!

But no real updates, other than Ive been riving it daily and abusing it every weekend.

I leave england to come back to a base in the states in a few months, when I do the truck is getting a dana 60, 14 bolt full float and 37's. oh plus a v8!!

paintballrocker

nice thing about when i do my swap is......no IFS crap in the way!! haha

paintballrocker

itll fit. the suspension is exactly the same as a regualr s10. the ZR2 is the only one with a suspension difference

paintballrocker

So I pulled the pressure sensor, it was leaking out the back of the sensor where the plug goes. Put in a new ACDelco sensor and so far oil pressure is back to normal, idles at 20psi and goes to 40 under load.

Im guessing a seal inside the sensor went out causing it to leak out of the back

paintballrocker

yes, from what I researched it cuts out the fuel pump relay at pressure below 4psi

paintballrocker

not yet. I had to work this weekend so my truck actually went to a mechanics shop for the pressure test. they said to change the, which i already ordered. so im just waiting for that to get here.

Any advice or tipsfor changing one out? I know its behind/below the distributor

paintballrocker

this might be helpful too

paintballrocker

sorry for the bad info, the h3 pan is for ls engines. but i know you can use the stock 350 pan if you have a body lift because you can make the engien sit a bit higher. If not there are a few 4x4 s10 v8 swap oil pans made to clear the diff n xmemeber. also here is a link for info on moding your own ...

paintballrocker

i read on s10forum about people using hummer h3 pans to clear the diff n crossmembr. Im looking foward to this, keep posting the info!! I have been researching and plan on doing the 350 vortec swap once i get back to the states in a few months

paintballrocker

Havent checked yet, but thats a good idea. I already ordered a new sensor even though im not pressure checking it till friday. Depending on what the pressure check says and if the new sensors fixes anything, i might change up the oil to a 10w-30 or 5w-40 and see if the thicker oil helps at all. From...

paintballrocker

the truck is going to get pressure tetsed with a mech gauge on friday. I hope it is the sensor or maybe the gauge motor as the gm dashes are known to fail. I really really hope i am not heading towards a rebuild at onl 160,000

paintballrocker

also the oil was only a month old, no shavings or glitter. just little black sludge particles ont he last few drops. So the lack of metal in the oil makes me think it is not bearings (either main or cam)

paintballrocker

Ok guys so '02 s10 4.3, 160,000 mi. Normally at 190* it will idle around 600 with 25-30psi oil pressure and climb to around 40-45ish while driving. Ive had a slight lifter tick for the last 10,000 or so but it has never gotten worse. Today while driving it dropped to around 2-10psi at idle warm, set...

paintballrocker

found the EGR return line to the intake popped off and replaced the up stream 02 sensor right before that. no code now for a week!

paintballrocker

the most common thing for the 4x4 not working is the vacum thing under the batter tray not holding the vacume.

paintballrocker

HJ hit it on the head. my 373 are not bad, i just need to get the computer returned for the bigger tires so the tranny stops "searching" for gears on the highway. but i think 410's would give it a little more balls off a start

paintballrocker

not sure if you know but all waggy d44's are LP. Dana 30's are cheap but i would stay away from getting one, if you do go for a '96 or new xj d30. it has the bigger ujoints and the 1 piece passanger axle shaft.

Hit me up for SFA info if you need, ill share the wisdom.

/end of thread jack haha

paintballrocker

Truck threw both lean codes the other day. Reset them and it came back on a day later so Im thinking MAF, fuel pump/filter, O2 sensors, vacum leak? I replaced the O2 after the cat a year ago, and have a fuel filter i need to throw in it. Gonna give the MAF a clean and see if it helps. Anything I sho...

paintballrocker

Hey not sure if this is in the right section or not but Im looking to mount a CB radio where the ash tray is in my '02 s10. I removed the ash tray and right above it, behind where the heater controls are, is a metal box. What is it, because I was thinking of drilling into it to mount the CB mount bu...

paintballrocker

get a vortec 5.7 from '96-'00 and the swap is considerably easier than other v8 swaps

Most used a programmer to correct the speedometer. Adjusting the shift point helped mine too. I know that it is only designed for WOT, but I did have success. The Corvette servo, billet fourth and longer pin are another thing that I and a couple others did. I also added a switch to unlock the conve...

paintballrocker

yea with the solid axle I have to mod the tranny xmember and left side of the ypipe to clear the dshaft

paintballrocker

Hey yall, its been forever since i updated this. I had to fight the struct UK inspection laws the past 3 months. They dont like custom vehicles over here too much. So since the last update i switched the pitman arm from an XJ to an YJ, theres about a 2" drop difference between the two. The XJ was hi...

my stock cables were worn threw the protective hosuing and rusted the internal cable. plus with going spring over in the rear and add a leaf it required me to use the ZR2 cables

paintballrocker

no, brand new ZR2 cables in

paintballrocker

ill look into that tool more, might have to get it for the future. But im trying to get the truck inspected next week other wise i go outside the window of the free retest after the intial fail. Ill see if i can make it work the old school way and then properly do it with the tool later. thanks for ...

paintballrocker

yea ive seen those specs before, but im not going to drop $50-$80 on a tool i wont use often. So by doing it the old school way I should just adjsut it till it contants the rear drum right?

paintballrocker

Hey yall. Im trying to get my truck through inspection after the axle swap, but i cant get my ebrake to hold enough for the inspection test. I replaced the parking brake pads, and had to use longer ZR2 cables because of the rear being lifted. Im going to completely tear the ebrak system apart again ...

Any advice on that Pitman change, seems a little cramped for access ? i cant vouch for doing it wiht the ifs in there, as i did mine during my solid axle swap. but for me it took two days of PB blaster then it took a big tractor trailer style puller, impact air gun, and a torch. and it still faught...
