I've seen S-10 single cab's with Bench seats, so they might be similar with the exception of the head rests.

The quad cab was a limited run item compared to other S-10's . It was only produced in the 2001 to 2005 model years. Improvise, Adapt, Overcome. Not a lot of body parts for it, but luckily everything from the "A" Pillar forward is identical to any Blazer or S-10 from 98 and up. Interior wise, you'll...

Yes the ZR2 Rear is a little wider (by an inch or two IIRC). to replace the pinion gear bearing the whole rear needs to be disassembled, new parts including shims, then the ring gear and pinion gear needs aligning.

I'm running a 195 degree stat. Your stat temp is simply the temperature it opens fully so running a lower stat temp once you get over that value it will not help cool the motor anymore.

The metal noise described in #3 could very well be the plug shields next to the exhaust manifolds.

Sounds like the Rear end is whining. On load whinning (accelerating) with the whining going away when coasting or de-accelerating is indicative of pinion and ring gear mis alignment, or worn pinion gear bearing/shims.

Bill; From what I've read the 02' ECM was a single year item. Not sure about the 01, 03 and 04 ECM's. It's possible that the ECM is set for a tighter variance in timing and if the distributor is worn it will exceed the variance. You might pull the distributor and check the gear. If one side is very ...

So far. Runs like a new engine. Just the slightest ripple from a glass of water set on the engine @ idle. Timing @ idle stays between 17 and 20* instead of 11-22*. No miss, no stumble, no hesitation. 200 miles since Saturday and absolutely NO CODES!

Axle swaps on the blazer/trucks are basically plug and play.
