Hi everyone, The passenger floor water leak in my Blazer is driving me crazy. I took out the entire front carpet and want to replace it, but the water "pools" on the passenger floor and I need to properly diagnose where the leak is coming from first. My mechanic checked the drain tube and the cowl, ...

TexasBlaZeR2

Two questions: 1) Has anyone had any issues with water pooling in the passenger floor. I think mine may have something to do with the drain hose. 2) Does anyone in this forum have a floor shift in their rig? My BlaZeR2 The plastic ring is broken for mine and I am trying to find a new one. Thank you,...

Hello everyone. I recently relocated from NC to the Houston area and would like to find out about local get togethers. On another note, my dash is having a problem because the gauges stopped working but the instrument warning lights flash when I turn the truck off. I have an EL Glo faceplate and rem...

TexasBlaZeR2

My gauges (speedo, tach, etc.) stopped working altogether. However all the warning/status lights started flashing tonight...even with the truck off. I tried to go to the place that installed my NR gauge face and remote start but they are out of business. When I turn the key on the flashing stops but...

When I put it in park the key sticks in the ignition until I turn the truck on again, back up, turn steering wheel, etc...then it releases.

Pics? I have the SS caps on mine...about 3 years now.

I got a new Stampede bug shield for my Avalanche. I like it so much I am thinking about getting one for the BlaZeR2 also. Does anyone on this forum have one? They make a VP and LP series. The LP is low profile. What kind of shields are you guys running on your trucks? Did you have to drill any holes...

Brush guard and lights look good Purdue. Nice scenery in the picture also.

I have been waiting almost 3 months for the brush guard for my Av. Supposedly it was finally shipped from the factory this week.

Welcome to the site DLP. You will find a wealth of information here.

Very interesting pic.

TexasBlaZeR2

I would suggest asking that question in the wheel/tire area of the forum.

Tom

TexasBlaZeR2

How do things like BL, SL, Shackles, Leveling Keys, T-bar cranks, and Add-a-Leafs do to the factory and extended warranties?

Thanks,

Tom

TexasBlaZeR2

I have Husky Liners with my ZR2...they come custom molded specifically for with flares or without flares. I am assuming they have similar options for ZR5s.

Tom

TexasBlaZeR2

Feedback is low. I think the wheels would look sweet on a CC though.

Tom

TexasBlaZeR2

I believe these will fit all S-10 models with 4WD. Is that correct?

Basically it's just the latest gimmick. They cut back on rebates and put this warranty in instead. If you buy a vehicle today you might be looking at buying an extended warranty from the dealer for something like $2000...and that covers more than that powertrain. They cut out the middleman this way,...

Mileage in the 5000 lb BlaZeR2 with 3.73 gears is about the same as yours Walt...12-13 avg, but better on the highway. The new 7000 lb Avalanche is getting 15-16 mpg with a 5.3 and 3.42 gears. Regarding dents, here is my story. I was in Manchester, NH at the mill buildings where my friend had his tr...

TexasBlaZeR2

Very nice rig. Exchellent color too. Too bad Chevy didn't make any CC ZR2s. Probably would have looked very similar.

When is GM going to get a real S10 replacement?

By the way, is RidinHighS10 still on this forum. I think he did a 6" superlift on his too.

Tom

Congrats on the ZR2 Bubaloo. I still have mine...for now. I am trying to swing two car payments...the Avvy I got is nice, but I like my S-10.

Does anyone know where to find the statistics of how many S-10 based vehicles, including CCs, Blazers or trucks were built in different years, how many were built with the ZR2 or ZR5 package, etc? My 2005 is definitely a 4WD ZR2...loaded with all the goodies. However, a lot of people, dealers includ...

TexasBlaZeR2

I believe that RidinHigh put some 32s on his rig when he did his SL. He might be have some insight into this topic too.

TexasBlaZeR2

Did they let you join zr2usa.com Walt? I don't understand why they are limiting membership.

TexasBlaZeR2

Actually I was thinking about looking at the 2006 Avalanveh/Tahoe. Has the Flex Fuel 5.3, but I am not sure whether it is the 4/8 cylinder motor. Funds are tight on this end.

TexasBlaZeR2

How is your mileage with the 5.3 Steve? With 2 vehicles from them I am sure that the Dillons are loving you. Bet they fix anything wrong with your truck or your car...especially with the retail business being so slow these days. Hmm...both the Avalanche and the Tahoe have the 5.3 in them. Might be t...

Congrats on the new dailys. From what I have been told Steve the Impala SS has the power, but gets worse highway mileage than the S-10 Vortec...even with the engine cylinder cutoff.

I live in Raleigh now, but do he...

What a mess. Glad S-10CC isn't like that. At least I am not a man without an island. Both of these sites were good. Does anyone actually know why ZR2.com closed?

Sorry...close to a 350. What does the 5.3 equate to in cubic inches?

According to the EPA estimates, Crew Cabs and BlaZeR2s only gets 1 mpg less both city/highway than a Chevy Avalanche. However, those numbers often don't tell the real truth. We had a 98 Silverado and it was a real gas guzzler. Does anyone know the real story? Is the difference between a 4.3 Vortec V...

TexasBlaZeR2

Just FYI, some of the 2004 and all of the 2005 Blazer2's don't come with 31's. From what I understand, they ran out of the 31 Goodrich's, so they substituted 265/75-15 Generals instead.

Do you have any pics HJ?

TexasBlaZeR2

Has anyone installed an El-Glo face in their CC? I have the face and the removal tool, and some basic instructions. I am interested in pics and details of how to install the face and how to hook up the wire that allows it to glow at night. I think there is supposed to be a power inverter, but I did ...

You guys get that hatch wire to use for other things, but mine is in use for my hatch...LOL.

Yes, I would like to see some pics of the wiring.

Thanks,

What about the manuals for 2002 to 2005 rigs?

TexasBlaZeR2

Can you please post up details and pics of your accessory port install, wiring, etc? My buddy who was helping me with this project had a new baby so we haven't gotten back to it yet.

Thank you,

TexasBlaZeR2

How about these?

TexasBlaZeR2

That is the stock tire size for a ZR2. You might want to go the S-10crewcab gallery from the main page and post up your pics. Then you can link them to a forum posting.

TexasBlaZeR2

oops! I missed that one. Sorry...thought I was actually posting something new.

TexasBlaZeR2

Here is the link to a conversion explanation and tool thread I just posted in the forum:

Tire conversion explanation tool

Or just use the Axle Ratio/Tire Size Calculator from our website-HJ

TexasBlaZeR2

A 245/65R18 tire is equivalent to 30.5x9.64 on 18" rims. Here is a link for a web page that explains this and does metric to standard conversion:

I am not sure about 20's but this auction has some good pics of an extended cab on some nice 18's. I think it looks good:

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I believe the caps are from the SLP Engineering Camaro SS.

Not sure why they never made a ZR2 crew cab. One of the things she got me for Christmas off eBay was a 2004 S-10 brochure...shows the CC also.

TexasBlaZeR2

I think I would like to do a 2" body lift eventually.

TexasBlaZeR2

Sorry. Can't get pics with hood open. I was working in Kingsport, TN when I took this. He said his brother in law was a body man. I don't know the specifics. If anyone lives near kingsport, he works just down the street from the bank in the old train station.

TexasBlaZeR2

Thanks Jeff. I think they do look good. I still think PA3s would look good on a CC too...they are more agressive looking than ZR5 wheels. Still haven't seen anyone put them on their CC though. Walt changed to Cragars. Here is the before and after pic of my rig: Before http://www.imagestation.com/pic...

TexasBlaZeR2

For questions on shackles, AALs, BL, SL, etc. I recommend using the ZR2 forum to supplement this one. Lots of people there with experience in those things...and a lot of major offroaders to draw knowledge from.

TexasBlaZeR2

Yes, I admit this is a rather unusual one...Camaro/S10 The cowl induction hood is functional and not just cosmetic...and the wheels are definitely from a Camaro. There is also a 2000 floor shifter center console inside and since the dash is still 1996 and square, he can actually access the cupholder...

TexasBlaZeR2

Split topic-HJ Here are a couple pics of an S-10 pickup I saw last week.

A lot of Chevy parts are available for cheaper from gmpartsdirect.com or people in the CC or ZR2 forums. I am not sure if CV boots are on that list. You should definitely be able to get them cheaper somewhere else than the dealer. It also depends on how much of the labor you do yourself. Here is a l...

TexasBlaZeR2

I am with Bwenny on this one. I suggest contacting Cknaffle in the ZR2.com forum about some custom made shackles. He is a serious welder that makes his shackles whatever length you need and they are very strong for offroading. A lot of the serious offroaders in the ZR2 forum use his. Here is the lin...

TexasBlaZeR2

Understood. I decided to go with some factory wheels until I get bigger tires. At least they are different. Really like the AR Bajas, but they do not have the correct backspacing.

TexasBlaZeR2

Try earth.google.com and zoom in.

TexasBlaZeR2

That surprises me. How come nobody has tried? I have seen them on 2 and 4 door Blazers, 2 door S-10s, S-10 ext cabs, but never on a CC either. They are good looking wheels...agressive looking wheels...stock on ZR2s. I would think that putting PA3s on a CC would be unique and different. What does eve...

TexasBlaZeR2

Okay. According to the calculations above for a wheel with +35mm offset: 15x7 with a 4"centerline (including 1/2" for the bead) would be 101.6 + 35 = 136.6mm or 5 3/8" BS 15x8 with a 4.5" centerline (including 1/2" for the bead) would be 114.3 + 35 = 149.3mm or 5 7/8" BS So, that does seem reasonabl...

TexasBlaZeR2

Does anyone in this forum actually have PA3 wheels on their rig? I am just really curious to see what they look like on a CC....

Here is a close up I just found of the PA3s:

TexasBlaZeR2

Is that the same for N90 and ZR5 wheels?

What is your opinion of a wheel with +35mm offset?

TexasBlaZeR2

Everyone seems really confused about offset and backspacing. I was too, so I sat down and tried to figure it out mathematically. Let me try and explain it here the way I understand it: First of all, the reason that offset and backspacing are so important is because the wheels on our trucks are more ...

Okay. I just did. Thank you. Looks like I have a little bit more work to do. I appreciate all the help I can get. Learning as I go.

I had BFG long trails on my 2000 from the factory. I got about 75K out of them and there was still tread on them when I sold it this summer.

TexasBlaZeR2

TexasBlaZeR2

Here is what I bought today. The hole was miked at 7/8". I got a bit that looks like a wood bit, but has threads on the center part. It was only 4 bucks at Sears.

I think this should do the trick. What do you guys think?

TexasBlaZeR2

I would still prefer to tap one of the parking light wires, even if it means the lights might function a little bit differently.
