Still Crunching and Clanking along at 209,000 miles . Yes I am this Stubborn .

Horsehammerr

Wow ! This is a Great Surprise ! Actually the only reason I logged on this morning was to verify that the site was history . Glad I Am Proven Wrong . HOWDY ALL !!

Horsehammerr

SORRY !! I know this is out of order but , I seem to have forgotten how to post NEW SUBJECTS . My Hypertech III 30012 Programmer DIED yesterday and they don't sell them any longer. I bought mine from another member here 10 Years ago so , they will not honor Lifetime Warranty. Anyone got one they can...

Horsehammerr

Replaced my Second Pump Feb 2, 2010 , 140,000 miles . Hitting 203,000 now and that same pump is still going strong ! I think the big difference is that pump came with upgraded gauge wiring connector harness . Not a big problem to solder in and would recommend this to others.

Horsehammerr

I'm thinking Carburetor and full blown supercharger ! 400+ horsepower ! Tranny recommendations ? Already got the 8.5 rearend. Also imagining All-wheel Drive !

Horsehammerr

Not much going on here anymore is there ?

Horsehammerr

They are UNICORNS . Save your time and get it upholstered .

Horsehammerr

Me too ! I'm hitting the 200,000 mark now and headed for a 1200 mile road trip next week. Love this Old Reliable CHEVY !!!

Horsehammerr

Thanks roadrunner , I have indeed discovered loosened Battery connections . Winter seems to shrink some connections and cause leeks and loose contact. Got 'er all tightened up and working right.

Horsehammerr

Thanks, I was aware that my readings are normal . I just could not find the reason for the very slow cranking and rough start . I have since put my battery on a two day 1.5 amp Trickle charge and what ever that did , all is well .

Horsehammerr

Battery is less than a year old but, doesn't seem to be holding charge in cold weather ?

Alternator charging right at 14.78 at idle , battery at 12.8 30 minutes at rest. ?

Horsehammerr

Check Engine Light has been on for FIVE YEARS ! Got Black tape over it. Fixed ! No codes read and now that it's above 20 Degrees it fires right up with no delay. THANK YOU GOD

Horsehammerr

Have codes checked even if CEL isn't on. Could have a pending code that hasn't fully set. Then I would check fuel pressure to start. Make you're achieving pressure and holding. CEL ? Pressure Check ? :?: I'm at 198,000 on the ticker and have had no starting problems other than a dead fuel pump twice.

Horsehammerr

Checked and cleaned Battery and Posts. New 5w30 Sin. oil. Taking 3-4 cranking cycles to start. What do you think ?

Horsehammerr

Fiberglass ?

Horsehammerr

I'm setting at 199,000 on my '02 , should I be concerned about this Line ? Yes , it's a Street Queen.

Horsehammerr

Think that's what I'll do . Any chance this is happening because of a worn Ball Joint ? I lube my whole front end every 3-4,000 miles when I change oil. Yes all 11 points.

Horsehammerr

I think the stop on my right lower A-arm is worn down or the arm got bent back somehow. It allows my inner wheel bead edge to rub my swaybar. Can this be possible ? I am running 9" x 16" '84 corvette wheels , so they are back set as far as can be done. Have run Autocross a lot with this setup and ne...

Horsehammerr

I believe the whole problem is my Idler Arm

Horsehammerr

Got the new axle in and no change in Crunchy sound . Only happens when backing up fully locked to the left. So I spent some more and changed the Hub axle. Still no change. Thought I'd grab the steering linkage and give it a good yank and jerk when I notice a very small shiney spot on the Sway Bar. L...

Horsehammerr

NEVER MIND

Horsehammerr

Between 30-40,000 . Just knocked the axle shaft loose and pulled it out and the DANG cross shaft came with it. Now I gotta pull the connecting tube , so I can get that dang three prong washer in its place . So much fun

Unless someone knows how to get the dang thing back in there ?

Horsehammerr

Well here I go again. Right side front CV joint gone

again. New Cardone 66-1312 will be here Tuesday . Seems every three or four years one or both need renewed.

Horsehammerr

Thanks for the reminder Brule, Any suggestions how to do a good clean up ?

Horsehammerr

I've got 197,000 miles on my '02 and always run MAX. Had to recharge coolant when I replaced my leaky radiator but that is all .

Horsehammerr

Pulled the Pre-cat years ago so, that's out. Cat is only there in shell form," Gutted "! My filter has plugged before but , never with any warning stall, just plain shut down plugged. Same with in tank pump, running one moment , DEAD the next. Never thought to look at my Distributor , Will Now. Been...

Horsehammerr

I've begun to experience a Stall in acceleration when leaving a stop and when starting a pass. Reminds me of a faulty accelerator pump on a carburetor . What could be the cause of this stall ?

Horsehammerr

Who cares ? It's Your truck .

Horsehammerr

After my alignment was done my steering wheel is out of center. Like I'm turning right while rolling straight down the road . The alignment is perfect but the the twisted steering wheel sucks. How can I adjust this without jacking up the alignment ?

No time to take it back to shop.

Horsehammerr

Got my '03 ZR2 rear axle assembly yesterday. Came with everything but the Calipers. Does the Panerd bar bracket need to be removed or can you just leave it alone and bolt up ? I ask because the right side brake line is attached to that bracket. Will this bracket clear all under our CC's ? Did not h...

Horsehammerr

Your probably right, I'm thinking just cold stiff lube on joints and cable. Once it engaged I just left it. Supposed to get to 45-50 degrees today , so won't need fourwheel assistance.

Horsehammerr

Went out and warmed up my CC yesterday , 8" snow on drive and everywhere , pushed 4Hi and got click sound but not engaged. Tried 4Lo , same thing. Tried park, N, R, moved back and forth, nothing. Let warm up 'bout an hour and tried back and forth 4Hi to 2Hi and finally connected. Any Ideas why ? Nev...

Horsehammerr

Hate to see this GOOD WORKING Transfer Case go to scrap yard but, I need it out of my space. Make an offer.

Horsehammerr

OEM Transfer Case from my '02 CC, make me an offer + shipping ? If anyone wants this let me know. I just don't have storage space.

Horsehammerr

Anyone know how to change the front drive shaft CV joint ?

Horsehammerr

Noticed rubber on front drive shaft CV joint is cracked. I took it to parts place to match a replacement and got to fiddling around with the old one still on the shaft. pushed towards shaft and got dry grinding sound, just like what I heard when driving ! Now I think this could have been the whole p...

Horsehammerr

Old one OUT , New one IN . Boy that was fun. Now if I had only remembered to put the vent hose back on before putting the 5 Tranny bolts in :roll: I'll see what I can do. Cross member not in yet so I think lowering it well give room to attach it ? :?: Anyway , on to hooking all the rest back up and ...

Horsehammerr

I looked and decided to just drop the crossmember, way more room to work and it really wasn't that big of a deal. Should be changed out in the next couple days. No Hurry

Horsehammerr

Has anyone got a Step by Step run down on removing and replacing our Transfer Case ?

Horsehammerr

Thanks STUCKY ! I actually crawled under and read the tag , You are right.

Horsehammerr

Wow! :shock: Lucky you! :D Not about the failure but certainly about the find. :rah: Sounds like you're having my kind of "luck" on vehicle repairs. :rant: Take a look at NORDSTROMS AUTOMOTIVE , They buy LOTS of Auction vehicles to partout , very reasonable prices and they ship to your house. :D An...

:?: I have a 233C in mine and have located one out of the same truck I got my ZR2 rear axle assembly from. That's right , with only 179 miles on it. I call that NEW.

What Transfer Case is in an '02 Crew Cab ?

Will an '03 ZR2 transfer case fit my '02 CC ?

Horsehammerr

After replacing front CV axles and Hub bearings , I find out the Squealing and Grinding is coming from my Transfercase. Works in 2wd, 4wdHi, and 4wdLo, but man what a racket ! What could this problem be ? I have hardly ever used 4x, what can I do ?

Horsehammerr

I know Cardone CV axles are the recommended replacements but, what about the Hub Bearings, any recommendations there ?

Horsehammerr

The way I'm set up , I'm actually thinking about going AWD. Need complete '95 Olds. Bravada front drive . Non-electric and eliminates all the vacumm BS.

Tricks to changing Parking Brake forward Cables ?

Pinion bearing on rear axle? Mine had soft shims that squished out on the stock rear. I went to the more robust ZR2 rear soon after finding that.

Anyone have a ZR2 rear axle assembly for sale ? 3.73 ratio

Horsehammerr

Have sent two PM's to STUCKY

Horsehammerr

Is the ZR2 rear wider than stock CC ? Can an upgrade bearing replace this possibly damaged bearing ?

Horsehammerr

Where do you check front differential fluid level ?

Horsehammerr

Riding on 190,000 miles now and runs great but , has been developing a sort of Growling sound at all speeds. Loader at higher speed and mellows out at slower speed but still there. No noticeable odd functions anywhere, just the sound. Any Ideas ?

Horsehammerr

Oh I am DOWN ! 3 1/2" front 5" rear , sway bars both ends, all poly bushings, stock size heavy duty Bilsteins. 16" corvette wheels 245/50 street tires

Horsehammerr

Any body ?

Well OK , never mind.

Horsehammerr

What does it take to put a pinion rebuild kit in ?

Or i guess it's a spider gear/differential rebuild kit.

Horsehammerr

I would go with a rear from ZR2. The 8.5" rear is wider to match the track of the front without spacers. Disc brakes and ABS sensor to match the braking system. Good availability of parts. Eaton G80 gov-loc and gears to match mine. Lots of aftermarket support. Requires less horsepower to operate th...

Can someone Lead me to the right 8 1/2" rear Differential to replace my Stock '02 ?

Horsehammerr

Checked Gear Grease level and found below full. Took 1 1/2 quarts to fill to bottom of fill hole. still makes minor growl sound when coming to stop. Suggestions ? Can see no obvious leak locations. Been couple years since last grease replacement.

Horsehammerr

This SCREECH I'm hearing is for sure coming from the rear of my CC. I hear it at about 40mph coming from the rear of the cab. First thought I was hearing an oncoming Siren, but when I let off the throttle to pull over it stopped. Accelerate and it's back. If I stay below 30mph its quiet.

Horsehammerr

Always the BEST FIX !!!

Horsehammerr

Thanks B. Only thing lowering the pressure feed was a dang 3 year old Fuel Filter. $11.92 and gas in my face , she's all good now !!

Hey All , Been a long time ! 8) Up to 189,000 on my old '02 and it went weird yesterday. Fuel pump runs fine , seems to have plenty of spark as it tries to start .

Sorry about Jacking this thread but , I could not locate the answers I'm looking for.

If that is the only answer...

Horsehammerr

Update: Rebuilt calipers, new rotors, new brake pads. Bled the system, took it for a test drive, everything felt pretty decent. I thought bleeding the system again a second time would be good just to be safe and flush more fluid out since it was really crappy and had sentiment in it.... now the bra...
