Yep, I've had my fair share of that problem. Listen to what Killian96ss has to say! My Transfer Case control module was replaced twice, then they decided to replace the encoder motor... It was all under warranty but it took them three times to find the real problem!! They would "fix" it then the nex...

What did you pay for your set of Cooper Tires, and did you ever price out the Discoverer S/T ??

BobbleSmitty

$103 a tire with free mounting and balancing

30x9.5 Cooper Discoverer S/T

Should I go for it, or is there something better out there for that price??

Thanks

Dodge is entering this retro muscle car game too! Looks just like the old Challengers.

BobbleSmitty

I'd love to have one of those! Looks pretty sweet! "Just to prove that German automakers aren't the only ones who plan products based on what their rivals have done, GM comes out with the Camaro--a retro-styled, two-door coupe with a honking big V-8 that harks back to the glory days of Motown.

I got the exhaust tips installed today! Just waitin' on tires now

BobbleSmitty

Okay, here goes the entire story. I have taken my truck into the service department for several things that are covered by the warranty (things that went wrong on their own/things I didn't break). The major thing would be my 4 wheel drive not working 3 times. I took it in each time but soon after it...

BobbleSmitty

Those are sweet! You wont be getting stuck in those anywhere! I'm getting new shoes this week too! Same size but not quite the same tread! But I just put on a BL and the stock tires look funny!

BobbleSmitty

No, I didn't get $25,000... I wish!!! I was saying that if they bought back my truck thats what I would have gotten and that I would have rather had a cash settlement! I got a $5,000 cash settlement plus attorneys fees paid. It's still a nice chunk of change plus I get to keep the crewcab! After all...

BobbleSmitty

I've had several problems covered by the warranty with my truck the first year of owning it. My truck had spent over 35 days at the dealership. Last month after the 3rd time my 4x4 stopped working, I filed a law suit against General Motors. Being 2 months past a full year of owning my truck, I didn'...

If you're looking for a good variety of the black chrome stainless steel tips try StylinConcepts. That's where I got mine. Mine are 18" long Slash cut 3" outlet and a 2.5" inlet. They're very unique!

BobbleSmitty

Well, it took my Dad and I about 18 hours to complete the entire body lift. I still need to make some gap gaurds and drill new holes to raise the westin safari light bar. Didn't really run into any major problems at all. The truck runs great and feels more like a truck now. I will get a picture post...

BobbleSmitty

Hey, thanks alot! Oh yea, by the way top_sgt, I like how the factory step bars are positioned now... Now you can get you foot on them instead of kicking the body under the door with your shoe. I think I will just leave them as is. In the spring time though, if I dont like the look anymore, I will mo...

BobbleSmitty

I have been installing my body lift the past two days... Probably only like 2 hours left tomorrow and I'll be all done. I have a few questions though. I couldn't get one of the bolts to go into the hole on the farthest back spacer block on the driver side bed. So I found a bolt long enough to go thr...

This message is for Pauleo or anyone else that may know... Pauleo said, "I broke the retaining clip off of the air filter where it covers the carburator! I think it's still O.K. though. The thumb nut keeps it pretty tight alone." I had the same problem while installing my body lift today, will this ...

BobbleSmitty

Thanks for the advice guys. Top_sgt that would nice if you could get a few more pictures of the brackets. How do you get the cable to pass through? Does it disconnect somewhere easily? And one more thing for HJ, u said 12" drill bit? Is that a typo? Yes it should have been 1/2" bit for drilling out ...

BobbleSmitty

I will be installing my body lift early next week, but I was wondering how to raise the Safari Light Bar on the front of my truck. Would I just drill new holes in the brackets that hang down that the bar attaches to 2 inches higher and cut off the excess beneath? Also, I have stock nerf bars. What a...

BobbleSmitty

I got the 1.25" hub centric wheel spacers from Dwight Long (completevalue on Ebay). I just wanted to know how to install them correctly. Should I locktite the spacer to the hub or just torque it down nice and snug as I would a normal wheel? How often should I check them once installed to make sure t...

BobbleSmitty

Yep, I bottomed out once in the middle of no where, waited a few hours in 30º weather for a tow truck with a winch to pull me out! lol I think I could have made it further in if I had knobby tires.

BobbleSmitty

I did get this tubular peice of metal that's about 2.5 to 3" long (solid)... It wasn't on the parts list!

BobbleSmitty

You guys can disregard that last post... I went through it piece by piece and figured out what everything was by going through the directions a few times. I was shorted one zip tie and I ended up with 4 bolts that aren't on the list. Everything was there despite that darn Zip tie! lol

This is the mountain bike that I have. It's a Trek VRX 300 http://www.methow.com/~mtnsport/vrx300.jpg I was running a hydraulic disc brake setup from Hayes and later switched to Avid mechanical disc brakes front and rear. I added on a bunch of stuff to it... I upgraded the front fork with a beefed u...

BobbleSmitty

I got my body lift in the mail today. Is there any place online that has pictures of every item that should be in the box?? There is just a list of items on the sheet, but nothing is labeled or anything and is hard to tell what is what??

Ordered my hub-centric 1.25" wheel spacers today!

"In a final hint of the future, GM had a truck to show off the possibility of using a urea solution to reduce NOx on diesel engines. Inquisitive journalists sneaked a peek under the hood and found a 4.9-liter Isuzu-built diesel engine that had all the earmarks of a V6 Duramax. We can only wish." GM ...

BobbleSmitty

I like them both!

BobbleSmitty

What is the difference between the two?

BobbleSmitty

Yea, I can use as much advice as you can offer! I have the ZR5 package, so I'm going to have to raise the step bars too! I'm going to wait for the body lift to be done before I have the tips installed so they can raise those up 2 inches while they're at it. I have the Westin Safari Bar, but all that...

BobbleSmitty

Well, I finally went ahead and ordered the PA192 body lift! I also ordered new Black Chrome Stainless Steel slash cut exhaust tips for my dual exhaust. I'm about to get the 1.25" spacers for the rear, too. Who know's when I'll put all of this stuff on, but they're on their way!

BobbleSmitty

Okay! Thanks

BobbleSmitty

I believe that these are the spacers that many of you recommend. Spacers

When these are installed, can you still put the plastic lug nut covers over the lug nuts??

Thanks,

Hey welcome to the site. I'm from the east side of Cleveland and have a black S10 crew cab as well. What part of Cleveland are you from??

BobbleSmitty

What do you think about the new Mitsubishi Raider??

I like the looks of it alot, haven't really looked into what it has to offer though.

BobbleSmitty

The 4x4 supercharged Frontier eats up just about the same amount of gas as the 5.6L V8 in the 4x4 Titan. In my opinion, I'd go full size if the fuel economy was nearly the same. My neighbor had the Frontier before he traded it in and got the Titan. He had no problems or complaints about either of th...

BobbleSmitty

Living here on the east side of Cleveland, you get to experience all 4 seasons! Winters are cold and really snowy (due to lake effect snow), Summer is mostly in the 80s and sunny with some rain here and there, Spring is in between, but come mid April on average it starts to get pretty warm (60s and ...

I've got one of these bad boys up on my visor!

BobbleSmitty

Welcome to the site! I had the same choice as you when I bought my ZR5! Do you have any pics of your truck???

BobbleSmitty

Well, the 4x4 seems to be back to normal now!! I'm having no problems at all since they replaced the encoder motor. We got nearly 20 inches of snow and some really large drifts (3 feet +). I had plenty of fun today!! It worked just as it should when ever I pushed the button!!

BobbleSmitty

$1.99 here, it's about time!

BobbleSmitty

Don't ours just go to 6000 rpms??

BobbleSmitty

Got my clear bumper lights off of ebay... so far, no discoloration

BobbleSmitty

On my invoice from the dealership the number is 15636696.

BobbleSmitty

I got my truck back around 5:00pm... This time they replaced the encoder motor. It seems to be working for now I guess. We'll see how long it stays working!!

BobbleSmitty

Exactly two weeks after having the 4x4 fixed, what's it do?? It stops working in the middle of a blizzard on the highway!!! I'm getting really tired of having to take my truck in every two weeks to get it fixed. I demanded that they give me a crewcab pickup truck with 4x4. As much as they didn't wan...

BobbleSmitty

Most definately! Probably within the next few weeks I'll be getting these put on!

BobbleSmitty

I couldn't find that picture of underneath, but I did go take a look at it. It would be a tight fit I think if you have a full size spare. If you have the exhaust routed to the outside of the leaf springs, then it wouldn't interfere with the tire at all. I was told not to go that route tho... I gues...

BobbleSmitty

I was looking at exhaust tips today and came across these. They're pretty unique, I coudn't say that I've ever seen them on a truck around here before. I'm probably going to order them pretty soon. Exhaust Tips
$35 bucks, not too bad for black chrome stainless steel tips!

BobbleSmitty

Here's a pic of my dual exhaust http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10088/Vforce%20Dual%20Exhaust.JPG http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10088/Vforce%20Dual%20Exhuast%202.JPG I did get to keep my spare, but I do not have a full size spare. I do believe though, th...

BobbleSmitty

For that kind of money, go to a shop and have a dual catback with stainless tips installed... Probably be alot less actually. Mine wasn't more than $300. It sounds and looks great!

BobbleSmitty

Hey guys, I would just like to know what hitches you guys are running and if you could post a picture of it installed if at all possible. I probably want to get a class III hitch, but with my exhaust modification, I would need to have one that tucks neatly behind the bumper where you couldn't really...

Every year since my city started commercializing a large area of woods and wildlife we get 15 to 20 deer coming through my yard every night.

BobbleSmitty

I've been looking into getting a cowl hood myself... I found that SummitRacing and Stylinconcepts have them for 349.99, I'm not too sure about shipping charges. I live near by both stores and can pick it up. They're on Ebay alot of times and I have seen them go pretty cheap. If you get it delivered ...

BobbleSmitty

Well, I got my truck back and the 4x4 works again. The printout is exactly the same as the last one. They replaced the Transfer Case Control Module. That's what they had done last month, I didn't use the 4x4 at all after the first day to see if it worked. So I'm gonna keep an eye on this each week t...

BobbleSmitty

Thanks Kinda the same problem as me, 4Lo works but no 4Hi... I dont have a jumper wire and I really haven't a clue what that is, so I will take it up tomorrow and see what they do. With that information, I now know that there can be a few reasons why this is happening and what they may be so I don't...

BobbleSmitty

Nothing out of the ordinary... when i push the 4hi button in neutral, both 4hi and 4lo blink a few times then goes back to 2wd. If I hit 4hi while driving in 2wd nothing happens at all.

BobbleSmitty

Well, just about a month has passed and I haven't used the 4wd since I had it fixed in October. I tried it today and whataya know, it will not shift into 4hi. If I stop and put it in neutral, it will shift to 4Lo, but will not shift into 4hi. I tried it all, shift on the fly, in park, in drive at a ...

BobbleSmitty

I got the check in the mail today. I'll be heading up to the shop later this week to see what we can work out about a cowl hood!

BobbleSmitty

The insurance company called me today and is going to send me the check for the entire balance of the repair. They also are providing a rental for the time that my truck is in the shop. I am going to try to work something out with the guy I know up at the body shop and get a 2nd gen Goodmark Cowl In...

BobbleSmitty

I have that picture of mine in a larger size if you want

BobbleSmitty

That's what I figured! I emailed Fabtech and Rancho seeing if they had anything for the S10s, that roughcountry thing was the only other one that I found.

BobbleSmitty

What is your guys' opinion on this?

BobbleSmitty

I used to have that problem with my 91 Lebaron! I just bought some stuff up at the local autoparts store that said "quites noisy lifters." I don't remember the name of it, but its something that you add to the oil. It always did the trick!

BobbleSmitty

No, I know what you mean. I just feel bad that the kid has no luck what so ever with it hitting my hood... I mean, there's barely any traffic around here, what are the chances of a car driving by right when his ball was descending into the street??? I completely feel that they are responsible for fi...

BobbleSmitty

...By the way, it does need to be repainted.

BobbleSmitty

He's going to go thru his homeowners insurance I believe. But believe me, I feel very bad for the kid in a way, but the back yards around my neighborhood are pretty big, shouldn't the parents have told him to go in the back if he was going to be kicking a football around? I feel bad doing it, but it...

BobbleSmitty

LOL!!! If only I could get a football to hit something to cause me to get a body lift installed for free!! hahaha

BobbleSmitty

That's what I was thinkin!

This may work out in my favor! I'll have to see if I get the money or if the body shop does... I may be able to work out a deal with them? Who knows! Just gotta wait and see what happens

BobbleSmitty

Well, I went to a body shop today... The shop quoted me $518.37!! There's a number of things on this printout... paint and materials, removing the hood, masking, repairing, repainting, clear coat, ect... I took the estimate over to the guy and he made a copy and said he's going to contact his insura...

BobbleSmitty

Yup, I got hit... by a regulation size NFL football! My hood has a nice dent right near the center line. Here's how it went down: I was driving along a side street here in my city and I glance to the left and see a kid on his front lawn with his hands on his head and a fearful look on his face. He h...

I have also done the same thing as HJ... I have my amp with a 10 inch sub powered through that gromet. I have also used that gromet to run my wires for my driving lights on the Safari Bar. No problems at all
