What is the quickest way to find the mfg. date? Is it in the vin # or somewhere else?

Steve

Ok , I did the search for each year Crew Cab and I got the same fuel tank shield part # 12495667. They also list shield, under body part # 12496888 for all years also. Am I supposed to have a steel gas tank on my 01, cause I don't?

Steve

killian96ss

I did a search on their web site for a 2001 S10 Crew Cab and this is how I got the part #. My Crew is an 01 and I have the plastic tank, not a steel one. I'm not sure of the years covered, but I will try the same search for 01, 02, 03, and 04 to see if the same part # comes up.

Steve

killian96ss

gmpartsdirect now lists a part # for the fuel tank shield. #12495667. Maybe this could be added to the mod list with the bracket #15960535. The price was $91.56 for the shield.

What exactly is the purpose of the pre-cat? Is it for emission control, or sound deadening? Emission control. It is smaller and warms-up faster. Kind of a head start on the catalytic conversion. Does the pre-cat help extend the life of the cat? What is all that crap that fell out of your pre-cat? I...

Have you done anything to make your truck mad lately? It seems like it is messing with you since it only makes the sound when you are walking away!

Seriously though, the heat shields do sound like a good place to start.

What exactly is the purpose of the pre-cat? Is it for emission control, or sound deadening? Does removing it mean you won't pass smog? I want to get rid of mine to make a better flowing exhaust, but I want to make sure that it won't cause any problems with the smog refs here in CA.

Steve

killian96ss

You might just be hearing the exhaust system cool down which makes a popping / ticking noise.

The only notes the shocks had for this truck is to mount them shaft down and with no boot (both for clearances to the drive line). There is a side note about trimming a 'snubber' but I didnt see any that were in danger of making contact with the shocks.. Anyone else come across this on Rancho (or o...

killian96ss

I have the RS9000's on all 4 corners, and I'm very happy with them. Big improvement over stock. I had my rear shocks replaced under warranty once and they were toast after another 6k miles! The stockers must cost Gm around 20-30 cents or something like that!

Fram filters do suck, and I would stay away from all their filters ( gas, oil, and transmission ). I have heard of the oil filter problem before, and I have had a Fram gas filter collapse before on my 96 Impala SS. Best bet would be to stick with AC Delco brand. If you don't mind paying a little mor...

I had about the same experience at the dealer. When I went to have it checked out, they told me that I would need an appointment, and that they could see me the next day. Well guess what, the next morning when I started my truck no air bag light, and when they checked it out they told me that there ...

My stock battery died because some of the plates shorted out, and on the 2nd battery the entire positive terminal fell out causing battery acid to leak onto the tray and some on the frame.

I have also had this problem since I bought my crew, and I have had it fixed under warranty 4 times now with no noticable change.

Nothin wrong with ghetto fab, as long as it works. Nice setup, I wonder what a 1000 watt amp would be like with those speakers, not to mention it would probably be as long as the box.

killian96ss

I have had my drivers side boot leak twice now. The dealer didn't say anything about the 2" BL. Instead of replacing the boots they keep replacing the whole CV shaft instead (twice now). This doesn't seem very cost effective, but hey I'm not going to complain.

killian96ss

Yeah, that one through sound off audio. Sounds good that everything works awesome. What exactly are you runnings (subs/amp models)? I take it everything fit ok? Yep...everything fit fine. It sits pretty snug against the back of the rear seat, but I don't think it affects the sound much. The subs ar...

killian96ss, all I can tell you is get those stock one's off. If you plan on keeping the truck for the next 70,000 or more maybe you should get the Bilstein.

I have to disagree about the axle bracing, fore and aft.

I'll grant y...

I thought about getting the one with braces, but the guy talked me out of it. I hate when they do that! lol He said something else will break before that, probably right.

It may be true that the fuel flows through the hose easily at first, but over time, the pump will wear out faster without gravity (and a shorter hose) helping a little. There's no place on the frame rail near the tank to mount the pump? I think that's where most people usually put them. Near the ta...

The Carter is better than a Holley for a 4x4 , since it is less likely to starve the main jets during off level operation. I would have to agree completely, and the spring loaded needles also help for bouncing around off road. The Carter's are definitely more user friendly, but I have found that wh...

You'll be just fine. The red pump doesn't use a reg. or return. It should be enough pump, if you do not plan to hold high rpm's for long periods of time. In about a year ,if you drive much, plan on a rebuild kit for it and put a really good fuel filter in front of it (between the pump and tank). Be...

What kind of carb are you using? Most Holley carbs can handle 8psi with no regulator. I had their blue pump with a regulator on a 390hp ZZ4 350 with a Holley 750, and it worked great set @ 7psi.
