There's approximately 1,000,000 in the Louisville Metro area, and I've only seen 3 other ZR5's in the last 4 months. I know they weren't terribly popular. Probably 10 Crew's total in that time. Where did you get that number, I find it hard to believe... I live in Florida, and I see one occasionally.

I bought a cheap third tail light lense for my 2003 crew cab, it never fit good and has faded already. Looked for a complete led to replace the 3rd light assy. but those I found did not fit the crew cab, so I assume it is different. Anyone bought one of quality that fits?

Ezrollin

Can anyone recommend a third brake light lense that actually fits and doesn't discolor in less than a year?

Ezrollin

i just cant believe my luck. replaced the HC right after i got my crew, and here i am 86k later and after driving around all day yesterday all i can smell is antifreeze in the cab :/ this is killing me as i just got out of the shop from a failed sending unit on the fuel pump. while it was in the sh...

This was the final straw why I traded mine off. Already had new tires and brakes all around and very low miles on 2nd tranny rebuild. Was told 2500.00 to replace core. Inquired of replacing evap core while in there and told it came out from the other side involving removal of hood and RH fender for...

Decided to install my new Sony head unit today. I had noticed a hairline crack in the cluster trim panel and a few missing screws which told me someone had taken it off before. So after removing the remaining screws and the wiring disconnects I carefully lifted the trim out and over the steering col...

I have a set of rear Bilstein 4600 shocks off a 2000 2wd S10 Blazer. The Bilstein chart shows them fitting my 2003 4wd S10 crew cab, but some other charts differ. Can anyone confirm their fit?

Ezrollin

This being my first S10 crew cab I have become familiar with the differences. The rear seat must be different from any other to not rate a seat cover. Fortunately, the rear seat is in good condition so I order the fronts OE charcoal to match the rear.

Ezrollin

I was looking at Fia OE front seat covers at Realtruck in charcoal, I didn't see a rear seat cover listed so I ask. It seems the rear isn't available in OE or Leatherette. Fortunately, my rear seat cover is in good shape it's the front ones that are showing some wear. Only front covers, what's up wi...

Ezrollin

Thanks for your reply. Looks like it doesn't apply to the S10 crew cabs. June, July, and August are muggy hot in Citrus county Fla. the humidity is a killer. I generally start out on max cool and then to normal because it lowers the noise level and I like my music.

Ezrollin

I heard somewhere that running a GM ac on Max cool will burn out the control unit. Any truth to that?

Ezrollin

I was driving the other day and heard the dreaded metal to metal grind that brakes make. Checked the front and the pads looked almost new, so I checked the rear. Looks as if someone had bent the warning tab back. The truck is a one owner with no record of an accident and was well maintained. Anyway,...

Ezrollin

Thanks! New to forum ...

Ezrollin

I don't care, I'm simply curious!

Just got 4 new Hankook Dynapro ATM 235/75/15's but haven't had them mounted yet. They have raised white outlined lettering on one side and black on the other. I know which side I prefer out but just wondering what others like.

Ezrollin

The only thing I've done so far is to replace all four door speakers with Infinity speakers. I have a Zexel limited slip unit I'm going to install in the rear end and looking at a set of Hankook dynapros atm tires in the near future. I'd love to install an aluminum block 5.3 LS in it but I have an o...

The ZR2 rear will be hard to find and expensive and isn't necessary unless you intend to do some severe off roading, in which case you will also need to reinforce your frame. Do some online research on the different types of units available, they all have pros and cons.

Ezrollin

I've got a ZT I'm gonna install... 4 pints rear / 2.6 pints front according to owners manual.

Ezrollin

Anyone replaced their seat covers? I have black (not the covers with a nap) cloth type covers and was thinking of using a black with charcoal insert. I've looked at some online and in the pictures they look like ill fitting slip-ons. If you could recommend a brand and have pics I'd appreciate it.

Ezrollin

It could be different for the LS,ZR2 and ZR5. I did a search on this forum but got no results.

My first gen. blazer 2wd required drop springs and A arms to do it right. I don't want my 03 CC any lower but being a second gen. there's a learning curve for me.

Now it looks like my LS... what did lowering it entail?

Are you sure of this? This is the first that I have heard this but, you may be absolutely correct.

No, not all 5 speed S-series had 8.5 rear-ends.

I just took a look at the Hankook Dynopros and I like the more aggressive thread. Like I said I will be using my CC for trips to the boat ramp and an occasional dirt road, no off roading. Since it is my daily driver I want a tire that is smooth riding and quiet...I don't expect them to be as smooth ...

Ezrollin

What cured me of buying cheap tires was the crappy ride, I didn't expect a lot of mileage out of them. Had a cheap set on my wife's Merc and replaced them with Michelins. You'll know in about 10,000 miles how the Hankooks are working out please keep us posted on how they worked out for you.

Ezrollin

Thank for your input guys. Yeah, it's either $$$ custom fit or a small generic set and I'm leaning toward the generics. Yes, my wife's last five cars have been used Mercury Marquis most with less than 20,000 miles. The last one I bought about two yrs ago was a one owner 2003 with 40,000 miles garage...

Ezrollin

The 2003 LS crew cab I bought had a decent set of tires when I bought it. It will be used mainly as a daily driver and for an occasional trip to the boat ramp or on a drivable dirt road. My tire of choice has always been Michelins defenders $115 ea. after $70 rebate. I see Hankooks for $59.00 ea. I ...

I'm very satisfied with the tonneau cover, a Truxedo, suggested by Plantone (thanks) so I thought I'd see what others suggested for floor mats. I can either go cheap and get the small generic type that catches most of the dirt or spend more money and get the fitted type that cover more area. The pro...

The tailgate bezel on my 2003 cc broke. I see some no name for 5-6 dollars and a Karken for $7.98 both free shipping. Is it worth the extra few dollars or can you suggest a brand ?

Ezrollin

I'm switched to 5-30 synthetic on my 2003 cc and my wife's 2003 Merc Marque. I changed my own oil (heard to many horror stories about oil change stations) and filter every 5000 miles and now with synthetic every 10,000 miles so it pays for itself.

Ezrollin

Thanks, sounds like the one I'm looking for...there's a lot of them out there...don't know the quality, it's always good to get an owners opinion.

Ezrollin

I started my Infinity 6.5 speaker install today and after checking came up with two different color codes for S10 cc...neither matched my stock wiring exactly. An easy way to check the polarity of your speaker wires is with a voltmeter. Set the voltmeter on it's proper dc setting, turn on the radio ...

Ezrollin

My stock 2003 were just factory tweeters on a plate, if you replace them with 4x6's make sure the ones you buy will fit!

Thanks, so with it rolled up you can use your bed for transporting items without harming the cover...taking reasonable care.

Ezrollin

Thanks for the info, that's what the Pioneer site listed also. I'm not building a sound system in this one, just the factory head unit with a speaker upgrade. Went with Infinity R 6522ex 6.5 front and rear. I think I still have some 4x6 in the garage.

Ezrollin

The snap up tonneau cover on my 2003 is still usable but it's a pain to snap in cold weather. I don't like having to it take off and store everything if I want to carry something in the bed. Who makes a quality roll up type and is there a link so I can check out the operation since I'm not familiar ...

Ezrollin

The one owner 2003 I bought has the stock radio / cd / tape payer and it sounds terrible. I suspect it still has the stock 14 year old speaker and that they are the problem. I've gone to several vendors but none list the sizes for a crew cab. It has six speakers: dash, front doors, rear doors. Anyon...

New to 4wd and 2nd gen S10's. I was wondering if anyone is using a Torsen in their crew cab, it's got to be stronger than the gov lock.

Ezrollin

Bought this clean rust free 2003 yesterday for my project...down sizing from a 99 (old body style) short bed crew cab...rare truck.

Ezrollin

Hi, everyone, new to the forum. I know I can do searches and will but I have a chance to buy a crew cab if I act fast so please be patient. I'm fairly familiar with the earlier S10. I have an 87 blazer which I swapped a 3.4 (camaro / fiirebird) engine and a later model disc brake rear end. I'm looki...
