I just picked up a 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder with 60k on it for $9000. I was spending $480/mo on gas for the CC. The payment on the Toyota is $200 and it gets 36mpg which cuts my gas bill in half every week. So bacically I ended up getting a convertable for free. Plus its a pretty fun car to drive. I u...

Thats kinda along the line of what I'm woried about. I'd hate it if they were hot and sticky (some things are better hot and sticky). I do spend a lot of time in my truck and often i'm muddy and/or wet. I do a ton of Mountain Biking and Skiing and whatever is outdoors that involves speed and dirt/sn...

It’s spring and I’ve been thinking about sprucing up the Crew a bit. God knows I’ve been spending enough to keep up with the leaks and engine issues. I was thinking about recovering the tired looking seats with some nice neoprene seat covers. Has anyone had any experience with these types of covers?...

Yay! Farthest East!

Why not just get a tranny flush done a little early. A fresh batch of ATF and a new filter will most likely clear the problem up. I personally am not a big fan of "liquid fixes" and funky additives.

Thanks for the compliments on my install, it too 2 months on weekends to complete. In all 4 doors I installed Alpine Type-R Components along with a crap load of Dynamat: http://www.alpine-usa.com/images/products/images/spr-17ls.jpg The subs are 8" Rockford-Fosgate Punch Series 2. Basically the best ...

I have both Sirius in the truck and XM through Direct TV and for my music tastes (Alternative and Rock) I find Sirius much better. The playlists seem to be a bit more diverse and i like the DJ's better. Pics of my install (no poking fun of the music selection, its already been done). http://n0m4dcom...

WOAH! I'm pretty sure mine doesn't do that, but I wish it did. I'll find out tomorrow, I'm planning on resetting it back to stock. Does that clear out any previous codes?

I'll add a battery test to my list.

n0m4d

Thanks for all of the tips. I knew I’d get some heat about going to the dealer. The only reason I was thinking about the dealer is because I wanted to have them track down the leak and the SES code. Plus when it comes down to it, I get paid more for an hour of OT at work then it cost to have the dea...

My 2001 crew is now just over 70k and I was thinking about bringing it in to the dealer for a tune up. It’s been idling a bit rough from time to time, the engine light was coming on and off a couple weeks ago (and has been off since) and I’m getting a couple small drops of red stuff on the garage fl...

The best way to describe mine were small (1/4" to 1/2") blisters that went all the way through the paint.

n0m4d

Overall, i am very disappointed in the quality of the paint on my crew. It does seem to be very thin and i even have a big run under one of the rear lights. Its my 1st black vehicle but it seem to get scratched really easy. I have been thinking about a new paint job.

n0m4d

I had the same problem with mine a couple years ago. I noticed it when I was waxing the truck. It looks almost like little blisters. The dealer said it was from engine heat and re-painted it under warranty. It was the last thing I had done before the warranty ran out. My truck is black, I wonder if ...

I’ve gotten a rep for being #### with cleaning my truck, but it looks like I’m in good company. I have been using some sort of pure carnauba wax that my dad gets me. He works at a power plant and they use it to wax electrical insulators (don’t ask for detail, I have no clue). They decided to use it ...

I have a Yamaha XT225. It gets scooter gas milage at 80mpg but is way more fun. I think it was around $4000 new and is by far the most fun of all the motorcycles I've ever had. It's amazingly simple to work on too.

My truck is making that same damn annoying squeeking sound in the rear end!!! I took it to the shop last week for shocks, brakes, and that problem. They put the shocks in, told be the brakes had 50% left on em (at 66k?) and gave me the same line about the glazing. It was rainy that day so it wasnt a...

I got tired of getting out an pushing my '98 2.2L S-10 SC SB up hills. God I hated that truck. I needed a vehicle that I could easily fit a roof rack for my mountain bikes on and could get me a little bit of head start on the trail sometime. Plus, I wanted to be in the S-10crewcab.com club! $6000 of...

Maybe I'm the only one who would get excited over this but i found a plastic pocket that is ment to replace the aux tape player in the older crew's. I have been trying to find a use for that space for a while now that I have installed an aftermarket system. http://www.installer-data.com/item/display...

Swbari00, that’s funny because I have Sony addiction too. http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2004-12-13 For car audio though, Alpine is hard to beat. My CDA-9835 sounds amazing as well (I hear things in songs that I never noticed before). I really, really like the iPod controller. It’s so gr...

I had Cooper Discover LT's on my last S-10. They were very agressive and great in snow and mud (and bout 50 each). My dad is a fleet mechanic for the New York Power Authority and swears by them for all of the crew's line trucks. They have supernatural tread life too. The only drawback was the slight...

Surfin eBay this morning I came across this CC for sale. I like the aftermarket wheels but i can't figure out what they are. Has anyone seen them before and know the brand/model?

I have the MSD Super Conductor 8.5mm wires. They seemed to have made a good improvment in performance. Engine also seemed to run smoother and stopped stalling at the car wash.

I have a 01 crew and have been thinking about swapping the cloth seats out for power, heated leather seats. Has anyone done this? The only part that seems difficult is possibly wiring the seats (if there is no harness already) and locating a back seat. Can I assume I can use a set of seats from a Bl...

Ok here's a tip when you take a picture next time do not have the Go Go's on there, our lips are sealed.......LOL...Looks great though. Hey! What's wrong with the Go Gos. Actually I skimmed through the channels looking for something really cheesy on purpose (yea thats it). Thanks for the compliment...

I have been using Sirius for about 2 months and can’t say enough good things about it. Satellite radio is the 2nd greatest thing ever! In fact I’m listening to it right now on my pc (for no extra charge). I just finished ripping out all of the stock audio and replacing it mostly with Alpine. With Al...

Jim, What size tires do you have with those rims?

Apparently this is a bigger problem than I thought affecting a whole bunch of GM trucks, but the fix seems easy enough. It seems the board is on the wiper motor. I’ll swing by the dealer and pick up a new board tonight. Here are some other threads and links on the topic: http://www.trustmymechanic.c...

I may go looking for it if I get home at a reasonable hour tonight.

Or I could replace it with one of these:

Thanks for the heads up on the control module. I searched around and didn’t see any posts with problems like mine so I started to think it was a simple worn out switch. Something told me it wasn’t going to be that easy. I may delegate this on to a mechanic since this week is a short one and I have a...

My wipers have developed a mind of their own.

Mostly they just don’t want to turn off. I’m going to attempt to replace the wiper control switch/lever thing this week. I have not dug into my steering column yet, is there anything tricky about getting it apart? Has anyone replaced this part?

I think the bulb is a #168 (check that out first). www.cardomain.com has a red LED bulb (along with every other color) listed there: http://www.cardomain.com/item/VARALWPRE I just happen to be looking for LED third brake light bulbs since I am running my satellite radio antenna wire through the lens...

I have seen them advertized before and was interested. After the install can you post the results?

OK, I’ve just started my stereo project that I have been planning for a very long time. I installed an Alpine CDA-9835 headunit and last weekend I lined all 4 doors with Dynamat. Now my truck smells like a freshly paved road :!: . This weekend I’m cramming in two sets of Alpine 6.5” Type-R component...

I am very happy with my roof rack. It was very costly, but it was on my old truck for 1 year and my crew for over 3 years now. It still looks pretty much as good as new. It's about as sturdy as they come. I off-road with 2 heavy mountain bikes on the roof regularly. I have thrown a sheet of plywood ...

I bought mine 2 and a half years ago and was a tad disappointed with its sturdiness. It is very attractive (esp in chrome) and does a great job at holding my aux lights on. So in that respect I am happy with it. It’s definitely more eye candy than structure. I got into my first collision with it las...

I definitely felt more power with just the exhaust work. For some reason the transmission felt like it was shifting smoother too. I just may be me. I ran the Hypertech upgrade last night. I adjusted the octane to 93, changed my tire size to 30” and increased the shift firmness. It was worth every ce...

They did a really good job of tucking everything out of sight. I wanted just the tips to peek out. Something a little different than the standard issue straight out the back truck exhaust look. It sounds good but I hope it gets deeper like he said it will. It took 4 1/2 hrs to install and cost $400 ...

Before ordering today I crawled under the trucks and did one last set of measurements. The ext. cab shot box exhaust is different from the crews after all. All of the hangers are in the same place and all of the routing looks to be the same but the flange where the exhaust bolts on is closer to the ...

I crawled under my truck and under a 4x4 Extended Short Box to compair the exhaust. They appear to be identical, even the hanger locations. So I think I'm going to order the stainless cat-back from Magnaflow (#15661) for the 4x4 Extended Short Box. Hopefully it fits OK :? I'm also ordering a K&N FPI...

I have been carrying bikes in the bed of my crew cab for years. Performance Bike (www.performancebike.com) caries a nice rail mount setup that I have used to carry 3 bikes over the bed no problem. The best part is that it leaves the bed available for gear and when not being used it is low enough to ...

OK, I have one more question. How is the exhaust from a 4wd extracab different from the crew cab? I see a Magnaflow system that may be worth looking at, but it is listed for the extracab/short box. The cc has the same wheelbase, is everything underneath the truck the same?

n0m4d

HenryJ- Thanks for the reply. That was exactly the info I needed. I'll check out some of the local custom shops for Borla. That means as far as bolt-on cat-back systems, Gibson is all there is? Thanks for the "Welcome" also, although I have been frequenting this site for a couple years (while search...

I’m looking to upgrade my exhaust. I almost bought the Gibson bolt-on but fortunately checked here first. Now I am thinking a custom system with a Flowmaster or a Borla. Borla’s website lists a cat back bolt-on for a 2000 ZR2 (P/N 14898). I thought our crew cabs were very similar to the ZR2. Has any...
