I miss IL

RocK

diff wheels and no flairs.. no window stickers.

RocK

Looks like they make a kit for the 2WD S-10... hmm

RocK

I will look at my kit and measure them parts for ya HJ. I havent used them... yet. But I did get two pieces of tubing for the filler neck extension and two pieces of hose with the appropriate clamps.

RocK

Yeah HJ my kit came with the right hose/extension.. and i got lots of extra pucks too lol.

Anybody else have any extras maybe we could put together another kit for another member.

RocK

dont forget to use the fuel filler neck extension... some people are having issues that did not.. dont remember who tho. The mind thing.

RocK

Ok, Ok, my fingers were pounding before my mind was thinking... Barch that is exactly what i meant... All yall else... ya get a free one, laugh it up... I'll prolly never live it down.

Ill be crankin away next sunday...

RocK

35 now ... :0

RocK

Ok well, since selling TV's is kinda my business, lol. Do not buy RCA. As of right now they are junk. We have had 8 27" and 3 32" tvs go out in the first week of being either sold or on the shelf. We now carry toshiba, which i actually like. LCD and Plasma both have a shorter life expectancy. LCD 7 ...

RocK

Thats what I meant... in a round about way lol. I just dont want to load my bars with that much of a load. The springs would be taking the load and the cv angles would be roughly the same.

RocK

Yes them pics are with no lift. Be warned you will not be able to do any "soil composition testing" while you are running no lift. With my 31's sticking out that far they rub on the bottom of the fenders when flexed. I am now running a 2" PA body lift and all its comfy. They still rub after the fron...

RocK

couldnt you just throw in a center spacer and bolt the plates to it... for support. Although not as strong as a one piece shackle, at least you wouldnt have wasted $30.00.

RocK

Spring blocks would be the same thing wouldn't they except they would not load the torsion bars as would cranking them up right? Taking that a step further couldn't you just swap in a taller spring and gain a more even load with the new rear springs. Just a thought... so far.

RocK

I was driving the CC the other day and it hit me... IF your still having trouble with the alt not putting out enough power would it be possible to put in a resistor that would "trick" the regulator to increase the voltage output at a slower speed like idle and have a switch to turn it of when at hig...

RocK

Do yall know that dealerships get paid for doing warranty work... It would seem to me that having work to do is way better than going broke waiting for that non warranty work to come in. LMAO thats pretty much the reason that I quit working at a dealership in IL. Mid winter there is no work, or at l...

RocK

speaking about insurance companies and such. It is your right to have the check made out to whoever you want. If the vehicle is still in a Lein holding status its your butt if you dont get it fixed. If the vehicle is paid for then you can do whatever you like wtih the cash. The insurance company can...

RocK

Thanks for the info all... I was prepared to spend a litte cash but everybody wants well over a hundred dollars to do it. And that is just insane. Does anybody have a receipt of how much they paid that they could fax me. Now Its gonna be about an hour drive to the nearest dealer. LOL

RocK

Sooooo.... I was calling around to the local dealers to see who could flash my EPROM and I was absouletly astounded by the amount of idiots here in MN. OK I guess I wasn't really surpised. The first dealer. I called and they said that it couldn't even be done. I laughed at him and asked why. He cool...

RocK

The GTO is like a higher HP malibu. And no it doesnt cut it. I think it is very dull and many people at GM need a good thumpin with a 2x4 board that has a few quarters taped to it.

That outa knock some sense into em...

RocK

Thanks guys...I appreciate it. Its always the dumbest thing huh?

RocK

ok i finally found it... a freekin loose bulb in the drivers side. I smacked the hood in frustration and low and behold the light went out. popped the lamp put the bulb back in and viola. oh and the spare thing the brace that points forward somehow got mushed upwards an inch. LOL thats what ya get f...

RocK

ya know like a week ago the right side did it to me...the fast flash thing. it only did it for a couple seconds and quit. never happened again and the indicator never stayed on. We dont have a module to control these things do we? No... HMM.... I will have to throw her back on the lift and start rip...

RocK

Ok getting icky... checked the wires both sides both are grounded i cleaned em up and put em back. None of my lights are dimmer. and the blinker is fast lights on or off. I have checked every ground in the rear now and the only thing left is for continuity checks.

RocK

I waited on here just for your reply hj. LOL i knew it would be quick... checking now and thanks.

RocK

K Right after the body lift was installed my left turn signal indicator was on. All my lights worked correctly and both turn signals flash. But the left signal flashed very quickly compared to the right one. Drove it two miles home and the indicator turned off but when signaling it still flashes qui...

RocK

There you go BUB... Two piece ABS plastic and sonic welded together. Should be easy but your the only one with a vaccuum mold.....

RocK

and that is worth a thousand words....

RocK

uh oh.. I can see the wallets getting emptier as I type. LOL. Nice Job HJ.

RocK

Anybody that has just the PA lift... Can you tell me the clearance from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender with the max tb crank. Also a plus if you are running 31's. By the way is the RPO for the factory locker "G80". <---i am getting old. Quickbiker... would it be possible to get an u...

RocK

Has anyone been able to or would be willing to snap a couple of pics of the side of the halfshaft that snaps into the front diff and give me a spline count. along with the length of the splines. Then an over all length, but that doesnt have to be perfect. Preferably with a set of calipers... I have ...

RocK

OH and by the way the Tornado air spiral thingy.....

Two thumbs up. Slight increase in MPG and I can now smoke my 31's. If you can ride out the dang wheel hop. I think it helped my low end torque band alot. Not much to speak of in the upper R's though. But deffinately noticable. : )

RocK

who me? .....

RocK

nice work HJ. You convinced me to listen to everybody that has ever said dont do the suspension lift. I guess the only real thing that you gain is the approach angle with the taller truck. that and the mud is much deeper when you get er fubar'd. Several people tell me just to body lift it and let it...

RocK

i would have to go irs too and the brakes are relocated to just outside the diffs on the humvee

gotta make a couple calls back down to hood....free parts.....
lol

good thing i could walk to work. iffin i werent so lazy.

RocK

increases the airflow through the MAF by reducing the turbulence that the screen generates. Hold your hand over a carb and it will still run but not as efficiently. Although there is a buzz about this little guy. I am considering gunea pigging. http://www.tornado-fuelsaver.tv/?source=gg&camp=torn&gr...

RocK

plans for a 32" tire i have the bl and have to find time to install but my bud just brough a lift for his garage :) I am also thinking about fabbing my own lift kit for the crew. no cutting just welding. 5 inch diff drop. Tough part for me is the cv angles. and relocation of the control arms. I woul...

RocK

Welcome .....

Here's mine

RocK

I grew up in Kirkland and lived in Davis Junction untill i went in the Army. I went last year but I dont make it down there all that often anymore. Do you do any trail riding down there? And have you ever gone to the freeport dirt oval?

RocK

K, I guess mine comes with a little story... Back around 94 when I was 15. I bought my first car, a 1984 Monte Carlo. It had the 4.3 and a bad tranny. So me and a bud fixed er up and slapped in a 305 so tired that you could turn over by moving the fan. LOL. 2 months later the 350 was intro'd. That w...

RocK

They were here long before us and they will be here long after we are all gone......

RocK

yes 15x8 with 4.25 backspacing With the wheel turned all the way i have about a 1/4 inch from the tire to the wheel well in the front. I have no lift as of yet. But dern it.....dern, lol.....i went through a gas station and got the look from about 30 people as i went over the whoopties for the fuel ...

RocK

Ahhh I see LOL.

RocK

hey hj did you write that calc prog. You could use [math.round] to get rid of the extra decimal places...

I know how you like stuff lookin perfect.

Its what I did with my speed calc for RC cars on my website.

My Site Speed Calc

RocK

I rub the top of the well when on rough terrain. With the extra 2 inches it would be very close to not rubbing but like Rusty said all bets are off. I dont have the BL but i can tell ya on the street you "should" be fine. I can load to the max and still maintain drivability with the 31's (no rub).

RocK

Has anybody heard anything about them Edelbrock IAS shocks. They are supposed to be "smart".

RocK

And there you go again making sense. I never thought about UV when i was looking for something to "get er done" I was only considering the expansion in the heat and cold. The plastic is abs and the protector is very close if not the same stuff they use for vehicle door edging. I wonder if a CA Glue ...

RocK

Yes I did just "squish" them and it did not take a whole lot. You could probably use them for larger cutouts too. But the front i had cut and it peeled up first. then the rear right one (which you can see in the pics). I just think that the adhesive that you used cant stand up to 120? degrees, direc...

RocK

Soon... First spacers then the lift. And then a third or fourth job. LOL

RocK

Mine are the same way... All of them are leaking. But I just say that cool squish sound is the massive shocks...LOL until i get that lift i will just have to pretend that mine are still ok.

RocK

well i did cut my fenders so the tires would fit in the front. Although I knew that the flares were gonna be in the picture. So all in all after the flares? lol

RocK

by the way wamason.... yes under full compression they rub the top of the fender. I found that out this morning when i took some 5 MPH train tracks at about 60 LOL. Crunch. no damage to the flares.

RocK

They are look'n good jeff.... very shiny.

RocK

Well had a talk with the BS expert. LOL . He is thinkin the regulator is being overworked and is "trying to do its job" but is losing one or the other. Gain amperage at the cost of voltage for example... Also he was asking me if you disconnected the batt during install cause maybe the alt regulator ...

RocK

Yes they fit right on and heres the pics.... http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10102/normal_1.JPG This is the Wheel well pulled back to allow cutting and some hammering on the fender and the inner well. They white is a primer to keep her from rusting while i was waitin for them f...

RocK

HJ that is the BEST analogy that i have ever seen. You even slipped in the voltage as the depth and such. But I am really reaching here HJ but my best guess... Could it be frequency loss? Most of that is introduced with radio and such but frequency does effect voltage. Also heat is a big deal. (I kn...

RocK

Ok fellas they are on... Darn do they look good. By the way bubs i did no cutting on the rear and they fit right on. I really couldnt test fit the fronts cause my wells were already cut and my bud (that has the other CC) had to work tonite. The overall fit was very neat. The only spot were there was...

RocK

I am now running 31's BFG MT's with no lift, no shackles, and no TB Crank. Just trimmed the wells on the front only. the rears are fine.

RocK

holy Chachi.... that was quick.

Can you send me one that fast? LOL

RocK

Would it be possible to snap a pic of the new plug so i can get my ducks in a row?

thanks in advance fella....

RocK

I was actually gonna leave them black. (wanted black fender flares since the first zr2 :oops: ) The fronts look really good and i think that there is just enough flex to fit them on a standard CC. I just held them up to the rear at this point (i havent pulled the factory rear flare) but they look re...

RocK

Cool Thanks HJ...

I was planning on adding more lights to my truck and my voltage gauge usually sticks around 14.1V. With the lights on there is a pretty big drop. Sometimes 1.5V (worst case). So I have been watching this thread and I am glad you finally have some good news.

RocK

I Got my flares today... Did just a quick test fit and bam perfect fit on the front. Very easy to install from the looks. In fact if somebody cant figure out how to do it they shouldnt be driving. LOL. Maybe not that easy. Its just the first 8 seconds with the jigsaw/sawsall I think that they may fi...

RocK

ok i will get some pics of the hack job. But I will put them in another thread. I dont want this one to get too far off tangent.

HJ i am an

RocK

UH oh that could have been a long night HJ.... I will look for the thread... Mystery Lift Yes those are 31x10.50's BFG Mud Terrains. I get to go back to the shop today and see what they are gonna do about the nicks they left me in the rim. :twisted: Man see what happens when you try to keep bussines...

RocK

I was gonna get them like three times already. But everytime I seem to be on Ebay they have the wrong ones (no cutout for PRINDLE) LOL Such is my life. At least I know that they look cool.... and work. Looks like they cut off the top part of the prindle and the odie .....By the way.....prindle= P R ...

RocK

Hey does that Canadian blacktop work as well as ours does here?? :lol: Is that the same grill in both pics? They look totally different in the lighting. I like it just the way it is... But I imagine that you could custom size the holes if it is made of metal. Plastic would mean a new mold though. Hm...

RocK

Bub. No rub. I cut about an inch front and rear of the fenders/bumper. They clear the bed wells with about .5 inch to spare front/rear. I had a side shot. I decided not to post it until I had another pic. See the birds up here have me targeted big time. That pic is 9 hours after I was washed and the...

RocK

Well here they are on and shiny. HeHe

RocK

The tires rub only halfway through the turn and other than that they dont rub anywhere else. They stick out about 4 inches from the wells and looks way cool. I am gonna have to cut about an inch total from the front and rear of the front fender and they will be fine. No lift whatsoever. HEHE. Doing ...

sirius has three satelites so there are fewer down times. It runs 13.99/mo and has the RF Modulator built in. xm has 1 satelite and runs roughly the same. The new delphi systems have the RF Modulator built in as well and run roughly the same per mo. Both systems basically come down to who is giving ...
