What is left, Spring kit shock install Torsion bar crank Stops Final body work and spray on bed liner It is coming together nicely thus far :D T...

Sorry I uploaded from my android tablet. I'm at Target with my wife and didn't realize I had it set to private. Fixed it.

Got the shell on Friday and my tires came in so I got started today since I am working 10 hour days six daysa week. Hopefully thisln will work for all of the picks I took today. No one had the window adheasive in town so I ordered it off Amazon and temp riveted the sheet metal so I can get my tires ...

Thank you, I do plan on the long haul with this truck. I've been wanting an avalanche but cant justify buying one to leave it covered on the side of the house. The 10.5's ended up being a little difficult to get also. The local big brand tire shop said they can have them in two weeks so ordered them...

williamcstonejr

Thanks I will do that first. With a total remodel on the home we bought (inside and out) I can use a easy fix for a change

Edit: BTW with this set up do you have a recommendation for shocks? I'm on the shocks that came on the truck when I purchased it and they are shot.

williamcstonejr

That's the ticket then. Ordering tires either tonight or tomorrow. My truck is in the shop for a couple door dings and a new rear bumper courtesy of the high school girl that rear ended me. I should have the truck back on Friday and my camper shell will be in on the following Monday. I'll start on t...

I seem to remember something like that but I thought he had purchased the after market rims that gives him the needed back spacing. Will 1.5" spacers up front with stock rims give me what I need without any heavy welding on the stops to avoid frame rub? If that is my only option then it is what I am...

When I wrote that I had no idea they had become so hard to find. Every web site I have checked I am finding that they are indeed on back order. This is going to put a serious crimp in my plans.

I will being doing just that. Plenty of photo's, I have been driving a motorcycle to work every day to include winter for almost four years now. I have only put 2800 miles on the Crew Cab since then.

Funny I was looking at it with my phone also that's why I was getting only half of the image.

A couple years back my town had two other crew cabs running around and they both had a camper shell that had a slant on the back that gave the truck a zr2 blazer look. I have been to two dealers and gone through their catolog and didn't find them. Looks like I'll just buy the standard shell. Thanks ...

I have been searching online for over a week for a truck shell that gives the S10 Crew Cab the blazer look, kinda slanted in the back. I used to see them around all the time but now that I am in the market for one they seemed to have gone the way of the Dodo. Does anyone remember these and who made ...

I averaged an additional 3 miles to gallon more with the generator working at a setting of 12 amps. If I tried increasing the amperage my check engine light would come on and my gas mileage would actually go down.

From what I can see our switches do not provide for adjustment. The only way I could see any adjustment is if the pushrod threads onto the dashpot of the brake booster.

I currently get a very consistent 23 mpg with no mods to the power train. I drive a minimum of 50 miles a day one way sometimes 80 or 90.

The one I made brought my mpg from 13 to 15 but i took it out and cut off the pre-cat and my mpg went to 16-17. So i guess it worked. Not really as much as i wanted but it was an improvement. Mine was small too, I bet the big one above works really well. The first one my friend made above claims in...

I should have it done next weekend. I am going to radio shack to see if I can find some sort of dial I can use to adjust the amperage. If I cant find one there I should be able to get a dial from a hobby shop for trains. If I remember my Lionel train I had as a kid that is all the controller was.

williamcstonejr

Bear in mind that you may no longer pass the visual inspection for those with emissions testing. Just gut the precat and sleeve it, weld everything back up and no one will know any better on visual. :wink: You could just gut it and weld it back but you will get more turbulence in the exhaust flow, ...

Any way we adjust our fuel sending units by adjusting the arm to the float to the lowest liquid setting you are personally comfortable with. That way you may have a full tank for a VERY long time but you have an accurate measurement of when you are ACTUALLY going to run dry.

Chances are neither of these are the problem, just something to check on. You should not need to remove the sensor that is a fact. But if you go to a shop that employs people like the shops around here they will remove the sensor and set it off to the side to ensure they do not damage it. I just rep...

williamcstonejr

When did you do your brakes last? The mounting bolt should be torque to 12 ft lbs. If hand tightened upon reassembly and missed with the wrench it could allow water debris to collect on the sensor head causing corrosion/rust. The sensor can be cleaned with a scotchbright pad if needed. Did you just ...

It can also be going straight into the cylinder and out the tailpipe only, you should be able to smell coolant if you take a small wif of the exhaust. Not to much or you will be brain dead like me. If your emissions test centers are privatized like California you might be able to get the coolant and...

Yes you can. They have improved the locking mechanism also. Mine has a single attachment point in the center now they have two, one on each side of the bed. I love mine and glad it came with the truck. I don’t know what they cost but I suspect they may be pricey.
