i pulled my band's 14' tandem-axle trailer around on the highway at 65 mph to move it around, and although she squatted pretty good, it's not the pulling power question that bothers me. heck, even with close to 5000 lbs behind me, the truck would still idle foward good if i let off the brake. it pul...

NTXCrew

quiet?...good gravy!!! do you possibly have the delta flow 40 series? it is quieter than the original 40 series. just hack that tail pipe off after the muffler and dump it. it's legal in TX anyways... i've only had compliments and comparisons to V8's with mine. honestly, it's gotta be 90-100% as lou...

uh..wow

no. but he's a ghetto-slang guru, i'm sure. maybe we're a bit off....

NTXCrew

exhaust turndowns are legal here in TX as long as it is done past the cab. so really it's only legal on trucks, though i seen 5.0 mustangs and late-model z-28's with it. there's also a v-10 excursion with dumped exhaust. mine sounds good, just not that good

NTXCrew

mine had a 3.1L V6. good car. until all the problems started happening (parts failures). it had the EURO package.

all together now: "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" or not.

26" rims?

that's almost the size of my silly oem tires....sigh

NTXCrew

i got 22 mpg on the hwy this week.

btw...i do not have a modded gas pedal.

that is annoying. my wife's pontiac grand am has a toggle switch that stays on or oof that makes them come on with the parking lights and the the headlights.

i like the sound of my flowmaster 40 series turned down after the muffler. one of my friends always says it's "the only S-10 with a V8" (i think he's talking OEM, 'cause he knows people do conversions). he even told his remodeling buddy that it sounds like a V8 whether its idling or under accelerati...

i had a '90 Lumina before my truck....

NTXCrew

his name's Ron L.

i don't know where he works specifically, but he goes to work in the morning. i guess that's first shift???

he used to have a red '01 s-10 crew cab, but he recently traded that in for a black '04 GMC 2500HD SLT 4x4 with the Duramax.

NTXCrew

okey dokey. but the other stuff is fact.

NTXCrew

not on OUR trucks. on other GM vehicles (Cavalier, etc), yes. i was told that even the airbag could have issues with factory decks that were wired to all that junk when removed.

my father-in-law works at the GM Arlington assembly plant.

my '03 is DIN and a 1/2 size (normal GM). the door chime function being provided be the CD player was in other GM models, even though the S-10 got the newer RDS CD player.

well, pimp my ride...

NTXCrew

i like my modded airbox for sure. there was a difference in performance for sure.

NTXCrew

hmmm...good idea!

NTXCrew

i'd say keep it at 2.5" on the exhaust.

NTXCrew

go check out the picture guys. it's IFS.

NTXCrew

any brand names associated w/ the lift?

okay

NTXCrew

even with stock tire size?

so it's more because the front diff can't handle the traction?

was it someone else's truck and did they know about this at the time?

do you mind me asking why you were dragging a truck across a parking lot??? sounds interesting.

my friends and i have decided that you can switch out about any phrase that means "cool" or "great" or "rad" or "good", etc. for "pimp my ride!".

The only thing I would watch out for is getting too nice of speakers with just an aftermarket H/U if you are not going to use an amp with them. I had to send back my Infinity Kappas in my old Cav because the Sony deck just couldn't power them and the bass just didn't sound good. NTXCrew - I do like...

NTXCrew

there are two tweeters in the dash in 4x6 openings mounted on metal plates. the front doors just have woofers, while the rear are coaxial. i too thought that the stock speakers weren't half bad, but when compared to some nice afermarket ones, like infinity or polk, the rubber surrounds and magnet st...

talked to a auto tech today. it thinks it's just a small vacuum line that got pinched or pulled away from the HVAC control unit. possibly from when i was messing with my aftermarket stereo. no biggie.

I just noticed a hissing sound from my HVAC control panel this morning on my way to work. The CD player was off (rare thing!) and I kept hearing this noise that sounded like white noise coming through a speaker. I thought my CD player was shot, but when I finally parked, I realized it was coming fro...

i've seen 19-22ish before on a cruise-control only highway trip. i've got one coming up this weekend, so i'll check it out again. fill 'er up and drive 3.5 hours one way. hopefully i won't have to pass many people- that never helps

blablabla, it's the same ol line. When the Jeep Liberty came out the first year, a lift also came out that same year and that was a completely new design.

I have my amp running off the + terminal on the battery. It then runs through a fuse, through the FM antenna grommet, and into the amp in the rear, which also has an internal fuse.

The 1995 Pontiac Grand Am I "inherited" when my wife and I were married has about 80,000 miles on it and, to my knowledge, had never had much done to the transmission (a new GM engine in 1998, though... :D ). Last oil change I decided to have the lube shop do a flush- it's pretty cool. I don't know ...

He could always park IN the Frontier's spot, thus starting a "tow-off"....and then watch his trusty S-10 holds its ground!

Unless they're assigned spots........

Personally, I'd rather see the 2' body lift!

You could always slash the Frontier's tires to lower it........not that I condone such deviant actions........usless it's a Ranger........

Can we put stickies on this forum for the body lift and tire fitment? Puhleeeease?

Well, it's on the mods page, but, to be honest, the "after" pic is kinda weird. Unhook the intake hose (like you're changing the air filter), pull out the air fliter, unscrew the nut on the right side of the airbox, then pop out the two little plastic "pop in thingees" (that IS the technical term) t...

NTXCrew

Yep. I got the mod "itch" again and chopped up my airbox. My Butt-O-Meter says that it made a difference (that's with a Fram air filter). Gotta love my hacksaw! Do ya'll think switching to a regular K&N filter would boost performance?
