You could always do some fancy body work and extend the box...

drperry

If you have a local big rig truck parts store, you can get relays for a good price.

That's where I get mine...

And my 85 amp continuous duty solenoids for $15

Which will work great for my trailer wiring

drperry

Most cameras have a crappy microphone, that's why :lol: And I think the video got encoded to mono sound, as well.... Or at least has a sample rate lower than 44100kHz, and a low bit rate as well... Probably 96kb/s Also, helps to have a subwoofer in the computers sound system :lol: Mine rumbles prett...

drperry

My Blazer has 3.42s...

Mabye the Blazer is more aerodynamic?

drperry

Depends on which gears you have too, I think... Though, you probably have the 3.73s...

drperry

How much does a stock crew cab weigh? My Blazer tips the scales @ about 4200lbs. With factory rubber, at 74 MPH, I was getting 24 MPG. You should be able to break 20, easilly enough. I got 18 MPG on the last highway trip with my 30x9.5" BFG A/T's. They're a heavy tire... 7 lbs heavier than stock. :l...

drperry

You're pretty much SOL, unless you can find a local place to make you some... Which will cost an arm, a leg, and 33 liters of gas.

drperry

The stock muffler on my Blazer looked suspiciously alot like the stock muffler that came on my parents' 1993 Suburban.

Massive.

drperry

I think that's a regular Blazer... I don't recall ZR2's having color matched flares...

That's where my Blazer was born!

Same color as that one, too!

drperry

Your ignition switch could be toast, as well.

But check all your fuses first.

drperry

A ZR2 axle should put you almost even with the front track width on a regular s-series. And track width of a ZR2 rear should be about 3" wider than a regular axle... Making the rear something like 1/4" or so wider than the front... Maybe 1/2" at most. It's also an 8.5" differential instead of your 7...

drperry

Problem with either one of these is gonna be the spare tire dropdown mechanism. :( The hole is right smack in the way, unlike the fullsize and others that have it in the bumper. That's odd... My friends 2000-ish Sonoma extended cab goes through the bumper, as did my old '85 S10, and Jimmy/Blazers M...

drperry

Powerline boster cables FTW!

My dad won't let me take them, though...

He used to work for the power company, so he got that stuff for free

drperry

The Blazer just needed a more enthusiastic right foot

Glad to hear you had fun, though!

Short cuts are fun!

drperry

Mine is missing a chunk off of one end

Shipping for me to get one from ebay is like $150

drperry

DRL's are not mandatory to have, so far as I know...

They're just required to be sold on all Canadian vehicles since 1990...

I don't think it's a requirement in the US.

drperry

Could be the ignition failing out as well...

If one of the tumblers is off by enough, the truck won't start, even if the key turns...

Out of curiosity... Did you try all the keys you have?

drperry

My Blazer came stock with 235/75's

drperry

Unless the Crew's sit a little lower than the Blazer's, you should be able to clear BFG A/T 30x9.5s without any rubbing at all, depending on if you front suspension has settled or not...

My Blazer was fine until I put the brush guard on... Now I've got little points in my fenders

drperry

my dream truck will be coming out hopefully in the next couple years. the big 3 plan to debut smaller turbo diesel engines in their half-ton line up. I believe the Silverado will be getting a 4.5L Duramax that should have the same power output as the gas 5.3 but get into the low to mid 20 MPGs .......

drperry

When the temperature gets really cold outside, it's going to squeal

drperry

You might get away with adding spacers to widen it out closer to the fullsize. I don't know the difference there. Our bed came from the South American Isuzu Crew Cab. The faux flare was added to make it look like the S-series bed. Check out an Hombre next time you see one. It has the same Isuzu fen...

drperry

Might depend on the model of radio you have...

My 2005 factory CD Player doesn't have a fan...

drperry

Which O2 sensor code are you getting?

If it's for the one after the cat, then that's not your problem...

If I remember right, that's P0137...

drperry

Take some measurements to make sure the perches line up just right.

I can't remember if it's a direct bolt in or not... Should be, but always nice to double check.

drperry

I'd probably go for one of those nice, new 2008 Silverado's

drperry

Actually, It's fairly simple :p First, disable your DRL's. I know, weird first step, but stay with me here, lol. Then you need to open your dash so you can access the back of the headlight switch... There's a white wire... I can't remember if it's the only one... Splice that into the parking lamp po...

drperry

I'm pretty happy with my DNA muffler... sounds pretty good... And it's not too loud, but definitely louder than stock...

Also, at full throttle you can hear the air flying out of the pipe

Drivers seat sound clip.

One more

drperry

The ZR2 also guaranteed the 8.5" rear diff...

There was also 2wd ZR2's.

drperry

I use my park lights as DRL's...

If using DRL's does burn out bulbs sooner... They are cheaper to replace than my HIR's or HID's

drperry

A single 10" Alpine Type-S @ 350w RMS.

Thumps pretty good.

drperry

Automatic headlights aren't really going to hurt halogens a whole bunch...

drperry

The resistor is only for the automatic headlights... That system is independent from the DRL system...

drperry

They should've used gas line anti-freeze :lol: When we had our -83 in Hay River, my dad had to take the '93 Suburban to work because his Ford wouldn't start... He had to go turn the power back on, and the Suburban was on a timer for the morning... So it wasn't plugged in... It chugged, rocked, moane...

drperry

That's why we get winter mixed gas... It doesn't freeze at -40...

You should've been getting the same thing...

I've been in -83*F.... With no windchill.

drperry

lol, summers back home rocked... sun never went down... hottest it ever got when I was living there was 91*F

Averaged 77*F

drperry

I moved 9 hours SOUTH to get where I am today

drperry

About 4 hours northwhest of Edmonton.... More west than north, I think...

drperry

It very well could be that!

And my old computer would've melted the igloo

And just so you know, only poor people live in igloos... The rest of us are in Snow Forts.

drperry

My RS6's are already on the way, lol, so we'll see what I can do with those...

For $168 shipped... Can't complain too much... They're cheaper than new

drperry

Awwwww, but how am I supposed to work if I stay home?

Besides, as long as there's no wind -40 isn't really that bad...

-55*C is cold :p

Also, when it hits colder than -40, it'll just say OC

drperry

What's the lens diameter on those FX35s anyway? Apparently I've got room for a 4" projector in there :lol: I figured at the price of the projectors, it was about time to do a proper HID setup... I'll probably turn the projectors that came with the headlights into fog lights, if I can... Just think o...

drperry

0*C = freezing point of water

It could be they don't factor in the bridge part of it on our side... Or the ones I've seen were more than 2 degrees out...

Also, they don't read any colder than -40.

-40C = -40F

drperry

I've splashed through some pretty deep stuff, and had my engine hydro locked... so something else might be causing the issue...

My truck throws the code for the after cat O2 sensor whenever I floor it for more than 3 seconds once the truck is at operating temps

drperry

I've never seen the "ICE" warning above 0 degrees C....

drperry

I know the people with the darker colored vehicles tend to go with the black headlights, for that blacked out look

I found some bi-xenon projectors to squeeze into my headlights, so this should be interesting... 2x highbeams!

drperry

I just noticed... But I don't see a spot for a corner marker light... Also, would it be possible to get these things blacked out instead of chrome? yea thats a bridge I havent crossed. I havent really been overwhelmed by a feeling that it needs one, but I am looking for a solution. and yes! you can...

drperry

Well, I've got some older 4x4 S10 rims that I plan on putting a spare on... I just gotta mount it outside first

drperry

That's the only page I've been able to find that actually lists the stock wheel offset...

Everything else is either "about this much" or tells you how to figure out the offset if you go measure your wheel

drperry

It really depends on how dirty and gummed up things are for the acetone to make a major difference... It is a cleaner, after all...

Too much of it at once is probably bad, though.

drperry

Well, I'm only running 30" tires... But I don't have a full-size spare...

Evil evil donut on the inside!

I know Trucker Mike on ZR2USA blew up one of his racks 4x4ing in the snow....

drperry

They'll also whoop arse in the deep snow...

But for shallow snow... like 4" and less, they're not so great

drperry

Hopefully he's busy working on it

drperry

How durable is it?

Is the thing going to grenade with a spare tire in it while offroading?

drperry

If you go for the MT's you're gonna have very little traction on ice

If you don't get much ice, then you don't have to worry about it

drperry

I don't recall plasma being listed in the manual as a compatible fuel/energy source

When they shut off the engine, the researchers reported that it coasted on the plasma for another two minutes.

Somethings wrong if the engine keeps running after you turn it off

drperry

Yeah, there's not much in t the way of lockers for the 7.5" A ZR2 axle, or a regular s-series 8.5" with wheel spacers is the way to go for you, then. A non-ZR2 axle is probably easier to find... Actually a ZR2 axle will put the rear wheels a touch wider than the fronts, lol... I can't remember by ho...

drperry

I meant spare tires, lol.

The Dana's will have a different bolt pattern. Unless they have a 5x4 3/4" option, which I don't think they do...

drperry

Also, unless you wanna have to carry two spares, you're not gonna want to switch to the dana axle

drperry

Or, if you can't find a ZR2 axle... One from a 5-speed S-series and 1.25" wheel spacers for it

drperry

Oops! Forgot about that...

It is indeed for second gen... 1st gens only got the 7.5" and later on the 7.625" (same casing)

99+ trucks got the 8.625" apparently... Same casing, slightly larger bearings, IIRC. Either way, it should be stamped on the axle somewhere

drperry

So long as it's 5-speed, it should have the 8.5" and 3-button 4x4 gives you the iron front diff

ZR2 or not.

If it doesn't it's a factory freak

The Iron Front Diff Poll on ZR2 USA should help out

drperry

I just noticed... But I don't see a spot for a corner marker light...

Also, would it be possible to get these things blacked out instead of chrome?

drperry

.........then the rear from any 5-speed S-series should be the 8.5" and you can get a set of 1.25" spacers. Are you sure of this? This is the first that I have heard this but, you may be absolutely correct. 99% sure on it... There might be a few that didn't get it... But most did. As far as I know,...

drperry

There's a fair amount of lockers out for the 8.5" thankfully...

If you can't find a ZR2 rear axle, then the rear from any 5-speed S-series should be the 8.5" and you can get a set of 1.25" spacers.

drperry

That's one thing I like about my AEM drop in filter...

Some simple green for a few minutes, rinse, let it dry, throw it in, and you're done...

No oiling

drperry

Nice.

I'm gonna have to pick one up!

Maybe my Gov-Loc will last longer, lol.

drperry

Having the A/C cycle doesn't really affect your fuel mileage much...

Uses less fuel driving down the road at 20MPH or faster, than having the windows down, lol.

drperry

My 96 SS also has the aluminum Summit Cover.

I have the Trick Flow aluminum cover on my 05 ZR2.

01 CC with Summit cover.

Got any picks of the one on your ZR2? That's what I need for mine

drperry

That stuffs kinda cool... Gonna have to see if I can find me some locally, lol.

If not, then I'll probably be back here for a roll or two, depending on shipping

drperry

If you have a friend with a Blazer/S10/Jimmy/Sonoma, and a 3 button t-case switch that works... Try it.

drperry

I begged and pleaded with him to do Q45's but that would have put him well over 700, something I couldnt convince him to do. Is that one of those gatlin gun style projectors? :lol: If I didn't offroad at all, I'd have me a good set of custom made HID projector fog lights in my valence right now...

drperry

For a big headlight like the GMC's, you should be able to work in a fairly large HID or projector unit... The GMC lights have the potential to totally own the S10 lights, due to the massiive surface area...

drperry

Do you have a 3 button or 4 button switch?

drperry

Maybe the switch itself is toast...

Also, any standard code reader will NOT be able to pull the trouble codes from the TCCM...
