Lol not much has changed since this thread died, aside from an Aussie locker and maintenance/repairs. Although I should have a decent update sometime in January. Nothing crazy. We're reworking the front end.

14x4

Spent the better part of the day dialing in the speedometer. Long story, but the Bullydog needed an update and that presented all sorts of issues. Ended up starting from scratch and pulling eight fuses everytime I had to make a change. LONG DAY... It is close enough now. Yikes. Tuning scares me aft...

I'll be watching this thread... I may try to get a different truck to do it to since mine works just fine for daily driver duties as it is. The local kid with an 01 is willing to sell. It's a little beat up and would be perfect for an axle swap. Please SAS your crew. http://i984.photobucket.com/albu...

Excellent job!

chances are it was not flashed back to factory before being sold which locks it to the VIN it was programmed to. I guarantee this to work the way its supposed to on a non modified ECM. The programmer worked on my truck. It was programmed but I uninstalled it before the swap and when I tried reinsta...

What can I say? It's a beautiful truck.

4. OPTIMA RED TOP Battery . My first croaked inside a year. I went around and around on this one. I would fully charge it and the next morning it was dead.

When I see new trucks, I think "boy it must be nice not to hear constant creaks and moans and have no mechanical problems." But then I think about how if I got a new truck, I'd probably end up modifying it to the point of constant creaks and moans. :lol: I have so much money in my truck, it's a sin....

Yup. I've seen people use various pitman arms depending on their setup. I'm using the pitman arm that came on the Astro steering box.

You guys are dropping like flies.

The era of the S10 crew cab is coming to a close.

But that is a very nice truck!

Lookin' good with those spacers.

I was FINALLY able to swap my TJ 4" lift coils and 2" coil spacers for XJ 6" lift coils. The XJ coils lifted the front end of my truck way more than I expected. It had a serious "Cali Lean," so we cut one ring from the bottom of the coils to level it out. The XJ coils are so much more firm - my truc...

I believe the mounting tube is welded, not the torsion bar. Yes, this is correct. The torsion bar/sway bar is inside of the metal tube. :thumb: I see the picture of the AntiRock components you posted includes two separate mounts, instead of a tube like I have. This is odd. I would imagine it's beca...

Well I said my truck would be done this week but it ended up taking longer than expected. Big surprise. :roll: However, I have a couple teaser pics of the truck almost done. The Isuzu rear hasn't been installed yet in these pictures but it shows the 2" increase in lift. (The back is NOT that high - ...

You know, after looking at that Colorado again, it's not as bad as I thought. But I'm not drooling over it. It reminds me a lot of the 2012 Ranger (not being sold in the US). I'm almost positive the All Terrain is a sure thing. I could have sworn I read that it goes into production in 2013 and that ...

14x4

Looks "nice." But its way too fancy for my tastes - too dainty. The diesel engine is interesting though.

I'm waiting to see the GMC All Terrain!

14x4

Have them milled to make the hole bigger? It would cost $25 to $50 per adapter from what I'm told. It's much easier just to buy the correct ones. I should've just done 5 minutes more of research in the first place. Rookie mistake

I could see the next set of tires being 33x10.5-15 since they are readily available. You should have room for a wider tire and those don't add too much weight or rolling mass. Wear those out first. That will tell you lots. Maybe a taller tire is a better answer? Maybe a wider tire is the "stuff". E...

14x4

Death wobble, ill handling, PITA to drive, first 35, then bigger. Most sold or traded off the rig soon after. I don't know all the reasons they get rid of the truck soon after all the mods. It just seems to happen. Riding on 33's you have enough tire to do plenty. Better mileage with less rotating ...

In what way? Breaking parts?

Also, I can't really find a good source for spacers for the 6x5.5 lug pattern.

I hope you're right but, I'll be surprised if, you pull it off. What width rims are on there now? Unless you get silly with the width of the 35's, 8" wide rims will do well aired down to 10-12 psi. My rims are 8" wide now. If I get 10" wide rims with the same backspacing, it'll push the wheels out ...

Maybe time to check the fuel pump? Something to be considered. Thanks. Along the lines of HJ's post, time for a new fuel filter? I will replace that as soon as possible. Do you have any plans for the e-brake situation? Whether you wheel it or not, I would think that you need to address the situatio...

Bigger tires! :evil: I think 35's with 4.56 gears would help. :mrgreen: I'm thinking about it. But even with 33's, this shouldn't be happening. One more reason I like my Wait4meperformance computer! I would use my Hypertech programmer but it throws a trouble code because of my e-brake and ABS light...

Thanks guys! i vote 33x12.5 to fill int he width of the flares. 33x12.5 is a bit too wide for my tastes. I much prefer the look of tall, narrow tires.

Very cool! Sounds like you and your brother-in-law both benefited greatly! Did you include all of the modifications on the trailer or did you remove them before you sold it?

Thanks, HJ! Unfortunately if I put on 35" tires, I may not be able to fit in my garage. I'm cutting it close. Call me crazy, but I'd rather keep my CB whips than put 35's on. I don't wheel it enough to make them worth it. It's possible I will go 33x10.5, though. When ya' gonna SAS the Avalanche? :mr...

EDIT : Antirock sway bar installed, 2" coil spacers front, added leaf springs to rear (3" lift), rear Isuzu Dana 44 installed, emergency brake cables installed, adjustable trac bar installed.

Mine are 1 and a quarter in front, 2 and a half in rear. If you wait a week or two, you can buy mine. They'll be cheaper for you.
