Newest truck I could find was an 01 Sonoma with the 2.2 base model so I guess I'm gonna get the pcm for less vin matched bcm from eBay for 200 they say that they can vin match it before its put in the truck... And will provide proof it was indeed done... And I can request additional features be turn...

Hartleybl

Not sure if anyone would be interested in them but I'm selling my factory seats front and rear black cloth in pretty good shape.. I've cleaned them up and they're dry not sure how to ship them... But I'd be willing to figure something out..maybe even trade for something I'd keep them but I don't hav...

Hartleybl

Could the rds thing behind the radio be causing the security problems? Cause minus the 4wd the 2000 model blazer Lt I got this bcm from was fully loaded....all interior features work... Now.. But the airbag light stays on with this bcm... I'm going back over tomorrow to the u pull it and see if I ca...

Hartleybl

Thanks for the info I'm gonna have to have the new bcm vin matched anyways I got all functions back tried the relearn process but it still won't start the security light stays on constantly again but keyless entry works all the interior lights work the 4wd lights all flash on but go right back out.....

Hartleybl

Tomorrow I'm going to Theodore Alabama to barrys u pull it and getting a bcm tccm and rke module in gonna look for one that has tow/haul and the fancy overhead console also...there is a 99 bravada that has these features but I'm not sure if a 99 bcm will mesh up with a 2004 they have several nice bl...

Hartleybl

I pulled the steering shaft out and removed the center plug on drivers side so all 6 have been pulled cylinders purged and sparkplugs and wires replaced number 3 also shot water out when I removed it I can now get it to run but the security system won't let it keep running.. It doesn't knock it does...

Hartleybl

thanks... i'll prolly get those after i get mine going again

Hartleybl

got the engine to start... but the security system wont let it run.. pulled the BCM and RKE and TCCM modules... seperated the housings.... sprayed the boards down with wd40 and am waiting for them to dry and then i will re-try them.... the bcm and tccm just had a slight film of corrosion on them wd4...

Hartleybl

Well I put the plugs and wires on it just spins over... Guess it needs that bcm to start ? Fuel pump works fine..as do all the gauges and overhead console and radio no interior lights...and the security light stays on... So I'm guessing that has it in lock down mode and won't give it any spark....

Hartleybl

Removed the steering shaft and pulled the sparkplugs out shot water out and spun over just fine... Prolly gonna do head gaskets and intake gasket but I got new plugs and wires and gonna see if she starts tomorrow it built 40+psi ofoil pressure

Hartleybl

Also the airbags seem ok the light flashes 5-6 times like it says in the owners manual and goes out security light stays on and that's it...and on that bcm... How would I vin match it? That sounds like a dealership function???does it by chance have tow haul feature ? And also I can't find any info a...

Hartleybl

Yeah I'm not sure how to go about vin matching...thanks anyways ...is it the bcm that controls the security system and keyless entry? And the tccm would control the 4x4 buttons? They don't even light up courtesy lights don't work everything else seems ok... HVAC works.. Power windows and locks work....

Hartleybl

Ok we got 25 inches of rain about a week ago and my truck was deemed a total loss water was up slightly above the seats im buying it back for scrap price 760$$ my question is... What other modules besides the tccm and bcm are below the glove box and ash tray I am qualified to repair the vehicle and ...

Hartleybl

since i have done the bravada axle swap do they not make a plug... like a diff drain plug to put in place of the vac switch... i plugged off the vac line next to the drivers fender but i'd like to just do away with it all together thanks

Hartleybl

thanks for the info... i didnt think it was dead accurate for fuel gauge to actual tank amount ratio... i used to have a 2wd ext cab w/4.3 2003 and i put 18.2 gallons in it once... way below the red line on gauge... ive not ran the crewcab 2004 that low but ive never been able to put over 16.? in it...

Hartleybl

Has anyone heard anything more about the ifs lift from real lift that uses the 9.25 differential from the 3/4 and 1ton trucks? I haven't heard about it in years just wondering thanks... I want bigger and stronger but I don't want to sas my truck

Hartleybl

Thanks it doesn't show how to cut the flares tho... I already cut the fenders and bed but it looks terrible without the flares the post that had the how to on factory flares doesn't show the pictures any more

Hartleybl

Ouch all the sudden I'm only getting 48 miles to a quarter of a tank 18 dollars for 5.125 gallons to go 48 miles I have put a new fuel pump in it a few weeks ago put a new fuel filter in today maybe it will help... Last week I was getting 70-80 miles on same amount of gas plenty of air in tires.... ...

Hartleybl

Can anyone please post pics of how to cut the factory flares on the rear ?

Hartleybl

I know you would need a one inch spacer per side on the rear to make it even with the front but anything else in not sure.... I have read that most go with 2.5s in the back and 1.25 in the front but some have done 3 in the back and 1.5 in the front in my opinion 3 inch spacers would be dangerous I h...

Hartleybl

thnaks again it doesnt look "bad" with the flares off the back.. but i dont think it looks right around the wheel well compared to the front it would drive me crazy lol i wish there were more pics to go by i saw one of fallvitals truck but i cant zoom in far enough to see the cuts.. but the fender w...

Hartleybl

if i plan on keeping 33's i'm gonna have to skidz cut the rear some how and make my factory flares work... i dont think i'll have to trim the front of the rear wheelwell but behind the tire is for sure gonna need trimmed... i have the multi hole autozone shackles that i welded a cross bar on to add ...

Hartleybl

Thanks for the rim info I wasn't sure if it was 5 or 6 on the back spacing so 4.5 would really make them stick out right now they stick out about like yours maybe a little more but they are 33/12.5/15 what did you have to do to use your factory flares in the back with the skidz cuts.. i need to do t...

Hartleybl

I thought the factory 4x4 wheels had 5 inch back spacing

Hartleybl

i went to the how-to section on this forum and followed it step by step turned out nice i could have just took a little body filler/sanded it down ect ect and hid the edge of where the cuts ended but it needs the mudflaps anyways so i just painted the baremetal and went ahead and re-blacked out my f...

Hartleybl

if i had it to do over i wouldnt go with the 12.5 inch wide tires and next time i'm going with 10.5's still debating spacers because i used to have a set of adapters on a std cab 2wd with fwd offset wheels on it and the adapter cracked..hitting a hard bump... cracked the wheel 2.. 205/40/17's lol ca...

Hartleybl

yes they did fit and i drove around for a couple of weeks like that i had to trim the plastic air dam before i left the tire store... but yes t-bar crank and shackles they did rub when i hit a bump hard with my wheels turned they would catch the corner of the fender they still rub the frame but they...

Hartleybl

thanks, no i just thought it was like 1 inch difference per side... so if i put a 1.25 spacer on the front to help clear the frame do i need a 2.5 on each side of the rear to make it equal?? also do they still make the skidz flares i thought i heard that they quit making them..i dont really want to ...

Hartleybl

last time i checked it was fine when the fill plug was removed it would run out a little bit... fluid looked brand new can you use synthetic lucas diff oil in these diffs? if so i have several bottles of it and would like to run the synthetic lube

Hartleybl

ok i found a video on youtube of a 4x4 ford that makes the same noise as my truck but he never replied what was wrong or how it was fixed... maybe if one of you guys hear it you could help me out lol i am stumped ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZu8o7rEFzU

Hartleybl

still havent had any luck tracking down the noise my truck is making in 4wd... the only thing i can think of thats left is maybe slack in my t-case chain ? it only makes the noise when i let off the gas and start coasting.. its a whine similar to the sound it makes in 4low.... just not exactly the s...

Hartleybl

Merry Christmas to all from foley al !

Hartleybl

mine came with 6wk/7wk 15956509 LH 15956510 RH purple bars 2004 Ls so if ya can find a 2004 crew they prolly have them.. i know mine does

Hartleybl

so its also possible that the sound i am hearing in 4wd could be a bad axle bearing? ... maybe i can find a bravada around here in a pull-a-part or u-pull-it i'd really like to get rid of the 2 piece axle and vac engagement..

Hartleybl

yes it has been realigned... i payed for a lifetime front end alignment and im getting my moneys worth out if it lol and i only use 4x4 on dirt roads/ gravel roads... theyre are plenty of those around here in foley al.... my 4x4 testing road is county road 55 like a mile from the house ... i just ho...

Hartleybl

oh yeah... the noise is not quite as bad... but it still makes it... and only in 4x4... and it seems like it takes longer for it to disengage 4x4 also... like 200-300 ft before you hear/feel it disengage it used to be like 50-70 ft...

Hartleybl

i unlowered it today and its back at stock 31.5 in front and 32.5 in back thats how it was before i ever put i wrench to it and it still makes that noise... it does sound kinda like its coming from the t-case sounds like its directly under the truck... but the front end is making a noise only when i...

Hartleybl

i checked everything all my u-joints are great no slack at all front shaft and rear.. it only makes it when im in 4wd and gets alot worse when i start coasting... it looks like the passenger side axle is kinda pushed out of the tube 1/4 in or so there is now a shiney spot between the inner CV and th...

Hartleybl

dang.. i should have left it well enough alone... i lowered it 1inch in the front and put 2 inch block in the rear now if i put it in 4wd it makes a terrible howling noise and it gets 3 times as bad when i let off the gas and start coasting... does it at all speeds... and only in 4 hi..... 4low is n...

Hartleybl

T-bar crank and shackles.. i want the front to match the back tho... front is 33 at fender to ground... rear is 34.75 fender to ground... stock was 31 front 32.5 rear

Hartleybl

what about gmpartsdirect.com ? last time i was looking there they still had them.. 193 per bar all you would need is the part number for the zr2 bars.... maybe a lil more pricey but atleast u know they will be new

Hartleybl

nice pics and info i cant wait to finish the process on mine.. but i'll have to live with t-bar crank and shackles that i have till i can get a better paying job

Hartleybl

thanks i just read up on it and when i can afford the body lift i'm gonna go for it i wish i could find the differential drop brackets for sell but i cant seem to find them without buying an entire package deal of some sort...

Hartleybl

thanks glad to know timken makes them for the 4x4 also... thats all i used on my 2wds

Hartleybl

it is at max z height from the lower c arm bolt to the bottom of the arm at the ball joint... the cv axles have gone from perfectly level to a good bit of angle i'm just trying to figure out why my truck still sits like 2-3 inches lower than a true ZR2 will going from 235/75's to 31/10.5's really ma...

Hartleybl

thats a big possibility not sure how long the hub bearings last on an s10 4x4.. this is the first one ive owned.. others were all 2wd.. but at work we had a 2004 2500 gmc 4x4 with a service bed and we had to change the front hubs out 1-2 times a year and the truck doesnt even have 40k miles on it......

Hartleybl

fluid is ok in differential i did check my t-case and it was a quart and a half low i filled it up and put teflon tape on the fill hole plug threads for some reason it leaks out of the fill plug... it wasnt really tight in the hole... threads didnt look worn but it wasnt a super tight fit... teflon ...

No they look like new no burned or discolored spots... just shinny silver on the resistor .....and the ones on the in dash 1-2-3-4 switch look fine also... no burn marks or discoloration

Hartleybl

Thanks i'll change it out when i can afford one.. money is tight right now so i'll just have to live with 3-4 for the time being, thanks for all the help

Hartleybl

just checked it... 1-2-4 reads voltage to only one part of it.. 3 reads voltage on all parts of it... but it blows on 3 and 4

Hartleybl

ok i took my dash apart no fluid in any of my vaccum lines... took volt meter checked the wires running to the 1-2-3-4 switch... got voltage up to the switch still cant figure out why 1-2 dont work...

Hartleybl

Crawl underneath and check the "triple hose" connected to the transfercase switch. That is where the fluid will be coming from. No fluid leaking from here... guess i'll take the dash apart tommarow... i was hoping to not have to take it apart... they usually sqeak and rattle after you take them apa...

Hartleybl

thanks, happy thanksgiving

Hartleybl

also i looked for the paint mark on the t-case vac switch... didnt see a blue or green.. no paint mark at all... but i didnt take it out.. it wasnt leaking so i didnt want to mess with it to much
