Well, it did find a good home. He says he has a 500 acre farm in WV and will be using it for beer hunting, etc. At least it will be leading the life it's meant to have!

quickbiker

Sniff sniff. Was a tough decision. Somone got a really nice deal. They will be picking it up this weekend.

quickbiker

OK, it's for sale now, everything is fixed. I am really selling it now. Here's the Ebay ad

quickbiker

Well... It's not gone yet. I ended the bid because I ended up having to work a few issues. I replaced the steering pump and works awesome now. But when I was out, the engine light came on, so I replaced the EGR valve, which it was still the original. Also when I had it apart and looked at the coolin...

quickbiker

Haha. There are some good places down south some, around the WV border.

quickbiker

Yes, it's a bitter sweet decision. I will miss it, but I've been aching for more physical type of outdoor activities that both my and my wife enjoy. We also want to get more serious about rock climbin (by hand).

quickbiker

With my redirection of hobbies going back to motorcycles/dirt bikes, I'm facing reality that my truck is just not being used as much as I used to, so I'm liquifying this hobby to get back into motorcycles:

Here's my auction ad

quickbiker

Nice. I may have to do my wife's Blazer one day.

quickbiker

Yea, there's something about a nice tire hum down the road. Sounds more like a truck.

quickbiker

Yea, I been wanting to build a shed for years so I can finish the basement walls into a nice game room, takes time, money, planning. May not get it done till I retire!

quickbiker

Tire choices are tough. Just gotta figure exactly what you want them for, so many to choose from. If you have a Costco membership, it may be good to stick with BFG's. And if you are going to do serious mud, and that's your main concern and not worried about road noise or wear, get a good mud tire. B...

quickbiker

Just undo whatever mounts it and redo the new one on it! It may just need a new o-ring seal on the radiator.

quickbiker

Wow, nobody answered this? Was just checking unanswered posts.

This may need the hot feet fix.

quickbiker

And a happy New Year. Ho ho.

quickbiker

Someone yanked the 4x4 stuff out. That's different.

quickbiker

Hey, those with cooling problems, do you have a body lift? I hear that can mess up the fan intake part and mess with the cooling flow. I've never had a cooling problem on mine, and I have fairly large tires, and a winch right in the front of the radiator. I'm on my 3rd radiator, and I use the cheapy...

Paul can't find water that deep unless he drives to the beach! :nono: I wish, believe me, I do find it at times. The last time I did back in May this year, the water was up the the top of the hood. I let it run too long, but it kept feeling like I started getting traction, ugh. The damage I found l...

quickbiker

I got about 8 feet or so of tube on mine. I have it running into the bed of the truck. That's prob overkill for most.

quickbiker

I don't trust any garages, just about every time, the so called experts will screw something up. It's an easy job. Only thing to remember is not to over tighten it after the new seal is put on, cause there is a crush sleeve, if that is overtightened, then the gear alignment will be screwed. That's t...

quickbiker

I would imagine that there will be quite a few crew cabs ready for this sort of thing soon. Engine and transmission swaps are the next thing in line when the miles stack up. Yea, I bet. The mileage has been going kinda slow on my crewcab. I have like 122k miles now, been driving the Blazer. But now...

Thanks. I know it's a brief write up, but when I was concentrating so hard doing it, uuuggghhh. If anyone has questions on anything in particular, I probably have the answer.

Hey all, I finally did the engine replacement. I got a used engine with 96k miles for $250, and did it myself. Parts came to more that the engine. Good time to put new stuff on when it's all apart. I figure I saved at least 3-5 grand doing it all myself. It runs super smooth, like a new ride. Here's...

Hey all, I'm still here. Been on a long work trip away from home, but I'm back now. Been working out the kinks from some of our vehicles (my truck and wife's Blazer). My truck has a P0300 code, have a fuel pump coming in this week. I already replaced the coil, coil control module, dist cap/rotor, wi...

quickbiker

Hey all. I'll be doing an engine swap in Sep when I finally get back from my trip. Anyhow, I got a great deal on it last year, but my wife ran it with warning lights on, yea, she ignored it. Well, she ran it without water for probably about 30 miles and burned up the engine. Yea, it was a perfect en...

quickbiker

Does that do the same thing as setting the HPPIII for firm shifts? Was always curious about that. I was using the firm shift with changing the shift points and was quite happy with it. But a couple years ago, I had my tran rebuilt, althought it didn't need it (long story), and they put the Corvette ...

quickbiker

Thank you sir! This one does help. I'm guessing I need to drill 1/2 holes? Can someone confirm this? I was kinda scratching my head with the rubber things. So I try to compress it a bit before I press it in to tighten? I think that is how I am reading that.

quickbiker

Hey all! Anyone have instructions for installing a factory roof rack? The order was a fiasco, first got the rack without any hardware, then took weeks for them to send me hardware, and now I have no instructions. :roll: Instead of waiting for weeks again, I was wondering if anyone would have some in...

quickbiker

Well, it's been a while, but I did have a quick bike, old school quick, it was a 90 Harley XLH. I bought it new and beefed up the engine pretty good. I sold it last year after 17 years of very hard riding. The bike got to scaring me too much for a DD, cause it was hard to not ride it hard. So now I ...

quickbiker

I'm wondering now if my precat is going. I got the P0101 first time today. The MAF looks clean enough.

quickbiker

I'd stick with a disc setup for the rear axle, the stock axle is disc and the valve are proportioned perfect for a disc setup. My setup is: 86 Waggy front and 95 Isuzu rear, both D44's and discs. The only thing that really sucks about the Isuzu 44 is the stock disc pads are really small and I've had...

quickbiker

Congrats on the ride! The 4.3 engines are about the best V-6 out there, light and allot of grunt, perfect for trucks, and last forever. The front axle/suspension setup is about the most sucky part. But if you just use it for the road, that's no problem. I bought mine new in 2001, but have used it a ...

quickbiker

Never said I wasn't a heep fan, but I am a truck fan. I got upset at heep when they dropped the Comanche line. I've had plenty of heeps, 78 SJ, 89 MJ, 93 YJ, and currently 96 XJ. I'm still waiting for a Rubicon truck. But then would still not get it, cause I got everything I want in my S10 right now...

quickbiker

I agree f9k9. It's great there is finally a kit, but the weeknesses of the Jeep would then be had. First thing that would get bent/broke will be the steering link, then here comes more money spent on a hi-steer option also. But maybe this will be their intruductory kit, then offer a serious one afte...

quickbiker

I've had my stock box back in for a year now or so. I can't remember what I did with the cold air setup. Maybe I threw it away. I do have the KN filter though. I always thought the stock box does well, good through water also.

quickbiker

I don't have a plug on my converter anymore since I had my tranny redone last year by proffessionals. They replaced the converter also. Ugh, never get work done by someone more than a couple hours away. That was a waste of time/money.

Anyhow, the tranny is perfect now.

quickbiker

I put the motor mounts in a coupl weeks ago, shipping was really fast on them. They are made very well and I can tell by looking at them, it will be the last time I need to replace them. It's fairly tricky to put them in, because of the hinged bolt in the middle, but not too difficult. Also, I found...

quickbiker

I got about all the stuff ordered, but can't locate the plastic piece that the bottom fan shroud snaps into. What is that called? Dealer or junkyard item only? I'd rather get new, they don't cost that much, but not any luck on that item so far.

quickbiker

Yes, I second 3rd only heavy towing. I've towed a car on a flat bed for a long distance, and wasn't bad. But then the trailer had auto-brakes which came in handy during an emergency stop.

quickbiker

Maybe the ZR2 mounts are made better, cause I don't see any JTR kits for the ZR2's. I guess they are different.

quickbiker

OK, I just ordered the JTR kit from their site. Maybe it would have been cheaper ordering seperately, but at least I know I'll get it all. Thanks. I should have done this in the first place, but it sucks when ya want to fix it fast and use sucky parts. Ugh.

quickbiker

I'm affraid to put in anything harder, cause I'd rather crack an engine mount than crack an engine block.

I almost forgot about these, which I may get. Any other opinions? Being that i really flex my truck allot on rocks, I'm sure the frame flexes some and think this would be best. Any opinions?

quickbiker

My motor mounts busted again. 111k miles. I will be looking for better ones, since this time, it broke my shroud, fan, radiator.

quickbiker

I don't remember one being listed for the rear. Is it the same one that goes before the cat?

quickbiker

Yea, Rockauto had 2 different Bosch's listed, one is universal and other is direct plug-in, oem. I just put the Bosch's in last week and no codes so far. I skipped the one after the cat since it seems like a useless one. I wonder if that one would even set a code off?

quickbiker

I hit the P0137, bank 1 sensor 2 code over the weekend, it hits about 2-3 times a year now. What part #'s and what brand are you all getting? I'm thinking AC Delco, but they are a bit steep. I'm not sure about the universal ones, ugh. And were you all getting them? And I guess at miniumum, I should ...

quickbiker

Yea, be carefull. The seal is an o-ring on the outside of the thingydoo. So it only has to be finger tight, but prob a bit more so it doesn't come lose. It's all plastic, so probably breaks easy.

quickbiker

No lights from the 180 deg, but I did fix my A/C.

Also, is it legal to remove the pre-cat if the cat is kept? I assume that's what you are talking about? I always thought those things are called resonators.

quickbiker

I was just going to post on the same resolve for my A/C and saw this thread. Mine was the same thing, low pressure switch. Got it for $25 from rockauto.com part 1550104 (15-50104) for 2001 year anyhow. It was hard to trouble shoot till it was not working much. Seems when it was intermittent and work...

quickbiker

I know it's been a long time, but I finally got around to putting the 180 deg tstat in. I'm hoping it may help with my interittent AC, as I'm at a loss to what that can be. My AC has always been intermittent, some times worse than others, and worse when it's hot. I'm hoping lowering the eng temp may...

quickbiker

Nope, they good, I checked them. Now the last I replaced the pump, they were bad, and I replaced them, but this time they were good.

quickbiker

Nope, they good, I checked them. Now the last I replaced the pump, they were bad, and I replaced them, but this time they were good.

quickbiker

That filter ended up not working out. It sets the pump code about every 2-3 days, took it off and it's been fine for a couple weeks now. I guess that's why that didn't put a filter on it. Instead of engineering it correctly, that was the quickest fix I guess.

quickbiker

You just gotta soak it in mud holes more often, but then the air pump goes more often, dunno which is easier to replace.

quickbiker

I got 3 total. Never replaced mine, but maybe I should, dunno. 106k miles now.

quickbiker

Now that would be an interesting choice if my engine ever wore out.

quickbiker

Wowzers, you serious about d44 stock in your s10? I bet they use the Isuzu D44, that's what I got in mine now, from a Rodeo. Is it an aluminum or cast steel housing? Anyhow, you have allot of choices for what to put in there. I use a Detroit full carrier locker in mine, they are a bit radical on the...

I like the music in your vids, fpieri. And nice mud. The wheeling here is mostly rocks, tight trail through woods, and hill climbs. Is it mostly mud trails over there?

Here's a vid of mine from a couple years ago doing a climb called "Body Shop". Before I did that climb, I saw a saw why it was called that when I saw what was left of their Jeeps at their attemp at the climb. There was one other than me that made it up, most just tried to go down after they the up a...

Welcome to the site, fpieri. I spent a couple years in Central, and some in South America, and I still have a rough time with the Spanish language.

I've never given the update on my whole mess. I'll try to give a short version, cause the whole affair is a nightmare that I am trying to just forget. To really sum it up, the only stuff that went bad was by mods/rebuilds and non/chevy stuff that were done by others and had nothing to do with stock ...

Gee, how many miles you got on yours?

If you're rig is more of a dedicated off-road rig, nothing beats a good set of Swampers, but if you use it for any bit of time on pavement, nothing beats the BFG M/T's for longevity and off-road traction combination. Swampers don't last long on pavement. My BFG M/T's are lasting so long, I just got ...

How bout the MAF kits? I see they are bout $300 (Ugh). Are they worth it? Save gas?

I just installed the TD spacer and was very easy to install, I did have to dig up a spacer in my parts bin, but I may have missed something, but it all installed very nicely.

When I had my stock 7.5, I put a Detroit in it , and it worked great, but then I went to 35's and didn't want to chance it, so I got an Isuzu D44 rear now. The 7.5 did great for me while I had it, and I ran 31's on them for a long time. Detroits are a bit radical, but I like them and run a detroit i...

quickbiker

Thanks Killian, that small air filter fit like a glove! And this time the check valves don't need replaced, they seemed to block reverse air just fine. And the fuse didn't blow either. I also did the TD TB spacer. It was a breeze to install. I had to dig up a small spacer for one part that the kit d...

So, if I don't get a letter, I can't get free cables? Nothing wrong with mine, but if they are free... lol.

I got a Kenwood. It's perfect for my taste. Crisp bass without the reverberated boominess.

quickbiker

I did like the price, but that's not all I looked at. I see it is advertised as low to mid range power add, and that's what I want, not red-line. And the reviews seemed better than other brands. And it is the non-whistle type. It is a paper type, but it looks seems to be made tough. It has some kind...

quickbiker

I ordered the pump and new check valves, still waiting on the check valves. I also got the filter from summit. I also got the Trans-Dapt Performance Swirl-Torque TBI Spacer. The gasket looks a bit cheesy, but the reviews looked fairly good on jcwhitney. Anyone ever try one?
