I've never been crazy about those wheels myself. If you're going black, the rockcrawlers would be my choice.

Also upgrade the ground from the battery to the frame. Just to give you an example, I have beefed up my wiring a bit, and am running a red top, and my lights still fluctuate with the radio, or my AC, or my blinkers for that matter. I didn't notice alot of difference from the stock battery.

I need to try this as well. It sounds like you're next to a waterfall when going 70mph.

From what I've heard, the yellow top can put more of a strain on the charging system. My red top hasn't run down yet, and I've left the lights on plenty of times, and my KC's don't dim when the truck idles anymore.

I may have cut a small amount from the inside of the fender well, but can't remember for sure.

I ran 31x10.5x15's with a 2" BL and TB crank without cutting or fender massaging at all, and I don't think I rubbed at all, even on bumps and such.

A body shop should be able to paint some of the 3D tail lights available. I'd stay away from black though, so chrome, or a matched color looks so much better with indigo blue. That was the color of my old Sonoma. I love the look much better than the color of my CC, but man was it hard to keep clean....

Nice

Mine impress me during/after Katrina. I found out how tough this little truck is as far as pulling goes

That looks like the little car that Steve Erkell(sp) drove on Family Matters.

A search might give you more to go on as well, as this topic has been brought up before.

...no accedients. a couple speeding tickets, but nothing serious.... Just curious--where is everyone regarding speeding tickets?

My G80 locks.

I've been in the aforementioned situation only a few times, and it's locked every time. I also get a bit of chirping if I turn my wheels all the way left or right from a dead stop, and take off slowly.

Nope. Not yet atleast. I rarely tow anymore. Usually it's my open trailer and maybe a pair of four wheelers going to the next county once a month or so.

There used to be powered versions of all Bazooka's unpowered tubes. I don't know how they do things now, but I think the powered tubes are completely different spec-wise from the unpowered tubes.

Someone on here has. I don't remember if it was Bubaloo, Warn, or somebody else though.

Try to fit the 8" if you want more bass.

I'm running a 2" lift set of shackles. I like a bit of rake on a pickup.

You're right. One of these three appears to be a viable alternative.

Still need to check those. We're in the process of moving, and I'm still working full time, atleast until next Friday

, so I've been busy. I'll try to take a look ASAP.

Ok, another update. At roughly 90-05mph, the engine speed drops by just over 100 RPMs suddenly. This isn't noticeable except for a gradual loss in power/acceleration.

I agree with Brule. A fuse at the battery is a must. You want it as close as possible to the battery. If you really want to add individual fuses, there's nothing wrong with that, but the aforementioned K.I.S.S. principle should be considered. :) Are you running the positive or ground trigger inside ...

You can get things much cheaper at other online retailers than an Crutchfield, but I've never seen one that even remotely compared to their service. You're treated like royalty. We get similar service from a company called Tessco that I deal with alot at work. IMO, the warranty, service, and friendl...

Thanks for the write-up Brule. This is on my to-do list after we get moved and settled in. Hopefully it won't be 20 degrees and raining on the day I decide to do it.

There is also the tendency to add weight to one's foot once more power is available, which could easily negate the mileage gain.

3.73's are "adequate" for me... I use that word liberally. I'd love to go with 4.10's if $$ allowed. It probably has something to do with the sweltering climate down here. In winter, my truck has loads of power/torque, but for the rest of the year, it's like driving a 2wd S-10 with a four banger. I'...

Mine accelerates strongly until I get between 90-95mph, and it starts to taper off, and barely makes it to 95mph with enough room. Before the HPP3, it would shift into OD at 90mph or so, but I still had the power loss between 90-95mph.

Well, I guess that is all I can say about that

Your effort is appreciated nonetheless.

Fuel pump and filter are brand new. Plugs and wires are only a few months old as well. Haven't checked cap and rotor. That'll be on my list of things to do next. The drop off of power isn't gradual, it happens at just above 90 mph, with the same effect as when the TC does it's thing in OD, the RPMs ...

Yes, the HPP3 is set to 110 mph. Rev limiter is set to 5600rpms, and I'm at WOT, still in 3rd gear. Even if I manually keep it in 3rd, it still does it. But it never shifts into overdrive.

This is somewhat related to the post I just made in the N.O.S. forum about our ordeal today with one of my little girls.

#1 Yes, a seat bolt will work perfectly. Might be a good idea to take a dremel with a wire brush attachment to the base of the bolt and surrounding metal to make sure that you get a good connection, as paint or other coatings can interfere. #2 This depends on whether you want to be able to fade betw...

It's usually a good idea to run a bit larger size than you need if you ever plan to expand. Running a 4 gauge power wire from the battery to the back of the cab is much easier the first time than having to pull out the 8 gauge you ran months before, or running a second 8 gauge wire. :) I don't remem...

No clue about the cruise control, but you might as well forget the gas gauge and devote all of your time and energy to the cruise control problem, as the gas gauge is hopeless IMO. Mine has been "fixed" several times, and it works better than it used to, but still doesn't work 100%.

In many cases, if you push hard enough, and go through enough people, high enough up the chain, you can get good results. Take Brule's advice, and when one person tells you no, go higher, and keep the blame on them. You're the innocent customer that has lost his receipt and is being taken advantage ...

That's a pretty good one.

A friend had a similar problem several years ago, with a 1996 Silverado. He could hit the gas and accelerate hard, but if he completelly floored it, the engine would bog down. It turned out to be the fuel pump, and he'd just had it replaced.

If Sonoma915 is the original owner, just get him to call, then you send it off.

The overall difference in section width is only about a 1/2" when mounted on a 7" rim. The difference in weight comes into play in the tread widtth. Man do these things look AWESOME!!!

Except 4lo (I think). Aren't they full time AWD?

Good to hear that you're ok Steve. Did you get a look at the offending/idiot's vehicle by chance? My vote is for a Frontier CC, or another S-10 CC.

Finally a new model Taco that I like. I'd just about trade in the CC for a truck equipped identically to that, except for the paint and wheels.

Ehhh.....glad I went back and read the rest of this thread before I hit submit one priceline.

You were about to have an unhappy visitor.

I got goosebumps when I first saw this.

Barch, you never told us you had a brother!

Same here. The Ranger kits on their site run between $2500 and $3000, which is way out of my range... While interested, if an S-10 kit would be close to those prices, I'd have to pass it up.

I have the Pathfinder also. Great watch.

I ended up going with the Smith and Wesson Sigma 9mm. http://www.pistolskytte.org/info/vapen/SW_SW9VE.jpg It's a very light weapon, and feels very comfortable in my hand.

Ok. Why do you prefer the .40? Greater stopping power is the main thing I can think of. Any other reasons?
