killian96ss, I don't know what caused my failure. The u-joints were Napa brand greasable. Nothing special. I am running them in all locations and this one failed. The rest appear fine. Maybe the joint was not to spec? I don't know. But the cap appeared to be the weak point as it was missing. Retaini...

green02crew

Now you show me that...

green02crew

Well its back in for now. Nobody told me that a body lift would be worth its weight in gold when trying to fill the transfercase with fluid!

green02crew

My friend had a pair of in channel and I have the ones on the outside. If both are installed correctly, both will provide years of use. I prefer the looks of the in channel ones though. Much cleaner install and I would go with those next time.

green02crew

green02crew

There's a 100% chance in my case. That is what caused this u-joint to fail! It was a replacement about 15k ago when the originals wore out. Cap fell right out this time apparently. Any solution other than a new driveshaft? I really don't want to have to get a new one. I don't drive this truck much a...

green02crew

I had the same problem. I used lots of PB Blaster and heat and beat method. Came out. Just be cautious not to damage the bushings too bad. Mine were in there GOOD.

green02crew

Sweet, a quart of ATF will do it! Thanks!

green02crew

Broke the U-Joint on my way home. Had to stop and pull the drive shaft and then put it in 4x4 to make it the last 2 miles. After putting in a new U-Joint I need to refill for lost fluid. Now my question, is how much fluid is needed in the transfercase? Synthetic or regular ATF to refill? And I want ...

green02crew

I have the scangauge and it works very well. Seems accurate as well as I compared IAT readings with outside temp readings and they were only about 2* difference. I also have an add a leaf and longer shackles. With a heavy load in the back, meaning more than the truck is rated for, the drive shaft ru...

green02crew

Get a trailer rated for weight of the s-10. Get some good straps and tie it down. Trailers are meant to be towed, your s-10 isn't.

green02crew

I recycled mine by cutting it up and using as ski guides for a snowmobile trailer, screwed them to the decking. Worked great. I take it that's not much of a hobby in your area though.

green02crew

I've never heard of them. Sounds interesting. Take the plunge, try it out and let us know how it is??

green02crew

I was hoping for a good weld if it is an okay location for them to do so. It is broken off in 2 of the 3 mounting spots. It is also aluminum. That will make repairs difficult if not impossible.

green02crew

Well I ordered the tire chains. But this is a new issue.... Same front differential that I was asking about earlier, here's what happened to it over the winter: 0503111115a.jpg 0503111115b.jpg 0503111116a.jpg This 3rd picture really shows the issue. Any thoughts here? I've asked around on an atv for...

green02crew

They look pretty cool. Very similar to their Rev chassis snowmobiles! But a pricey toy as well.

Facebook video? Not gonna work too well I don't think. Lots don't have an account or aren't your friend so cannot view due to privacy.

green02crew

We're not THAT far from each other. Trade for a day when its reasonable to drive again?

green02crew

'02 with 85k. My typical yearly average with this vehicle is less than 5k miles now since the addition of a commuter car.

green02crew

I went with cheap shocks the first time. Money wasted. 2 of 4 died. Lifetime warranty sure, but how many times do I want to change them out? Went with the Bilsteins instead.

green02crew

When was the fluid last changed? If you answer with "I don't know" that means its time to change it

green02crew

I have noticed an increase lately, about 2mpg, as the switch was made from winter blend fuels back to summer blends. Why such a change in mileage for seasonal fuels?

green02crew

Stop driving it than and change the fluid!!

green02crew

There are pocket holsters that hold it in the same position every time. Practice is key. Perfect in a situation where you are to "give up your wallet" :lol: I also have an in the wasteband which is what I love about the PM9. Less than an inch thick. Saves room in your pants so you don't need a large...

green02crew

The PM9 is a lot. I got it for the features. The smallest 9mm you're going to get especially when looking for an external safety. That feature is nice with a pocket carry gun. The new ones are better than the old ones apparently were. There is a big forum on them too with tons of info, check that be...

green02crew

I have the Kahr PM9 and love it. Very compact, reliable and TIGHT. Took over 200 rounds to break in and its still tight. Pricey, but lots of features. External safety is a nice feature.

green02crew

I agree with HJ. The gorillas are hard on wheels too! 4 of my stock wheels went to get mounted. Came back with only 3 center caps out of the 4. Excuse me? Where did the caps go. Oh they were broken... no, no they weren't. Thanks.

green02crew

I also have the MT/Rs, older style. They have chunked on some rocks, that's my only complaint. Many miles and going strong. I run them winter and spring mostly. I love the sound of them on pavement too!

green02crew

I cranked my torsion bars. The boots popped off but go back on fine w/ large hose clamps. Ball joints every year though. Lifetime warranty on those... still a pain to change. Your choice. But bodylift is more appetizing.

green02crew

I second the SFA. More cost efficient if using for anything more than a mall crawler. Those who use their rigs after doing a standard 6" suspension lift, all seem to eventually look at going SFA.

green02crew

My passenger side front does the same. I thought I read somewhere it was not the connection to the deck but to the speakers themselves that had the problems? I don't recall where I read this though.

green02crew

I've got 86k and just ran some through and changed the oil. To each his own.

green02crew

I do 1/3 in brake booster, 1/3 in tank and 1/3 in with the oil approximately one fillup before an oil change (200 miles).

green02crew

Sometimes depending on the deck you got, there are settings for it. Mine dims when the headlights are turned on, however is not variable dimming with the dimmer switch. There are brightness settings on my deck as well and I turned the brightness level down. Check your manual that came with it. There...

green02crew

Nice looking shotgun! How does the recoil handle with the pistol grip?

Steve, I like have the Glock in .45 and have a Kahr PM9. Both great guns!

green02crew

My boot popped off couple years ago. After a 2 1/2 hour drive in the rain, i found it had come off when it was up on a lift. No idea how long it had been off either. I cleaned it up then filled the boot with grease and re-attached. Again, that was a couple years ago and thousands of miles.

green02crew

Why a new shaft? Just put the boot back on.

green02crew

Tire chains are on my radar as well. Once a decent deal in the right size pops up.

green02crew

I didn't take the throttle body off. It can be removed without full disassembly.

green02crew

I posted my specs in another thread. Its solid locked rear axle, independent open diff front, 26" ITP MudLites, 450cc.

Good info.

green02crew

I understand risks riding. There are risks doing lots of things. I was just looking for ideas on a spool locker to see if it would help when plowing and the occasional trip offroad. I asked in another forum and have yet to receive an answer, they aren't nearly as friendly. Currently it just doesn't ...

green02crew

I upgraded from stock. I wish I left it alone. If you have the newer style with 6 disc changer, I would leave it in and not "upgrade" with the exception of speakers.

green02crew

That is a sad story. I'm hoping to not do anything bad. Its a utility purpose rig and for weekend fun.

green02crew

This is for those especially with ATV experience. I plow my driveway with mine. Its an '01 Honda Foreman 450. I'm looking to better the ability of this already capable rig. Any thoughts on running a spool locker up front on it? I already upgraded to a larger tire, ITP Mudlite 26" and want/need bette...

HJ, The Firestone Destination M/T is on my list for next tire to try. I have the Destination A/T and like the performance. I also have Goodyear Wrangler MT/R and the Firestone Destinations seem to be similar in style to those and I love them! The benefit of the Firestones over Goodyears, predrilled ...

Ok little review for the Scala Q2. I tried it out on my snowmobile this weekend. The snowmachine is louder making it difficult to hear. I have the volume turned up all the way and if the person is soft spoken, good luck. Ear pieces fit well in the helmet, depending on the design. Mine doesn't work a...

green02crew

I used a flathead screwdriver and tapped it in between the axle tube and the outside of the bearing sleeve. This deformed it and made it easy to just pull them out.

green02crew

I justify it to the other half by using it to "plow" the driveway. Makes a fun weekend rig during the summer though for some real thrashing! You would be amazed the places they really go. There aren't many trails around here so if you have lots of land they're great, if not, get used to doing circles.

green02crew

I see a lift and bigger tires. Those are fun rigs. I have a Honda Foreman which recently was decked out with all LED lights, 3k lb winch, 2" lift, 26" ITP Mud Lites and some nice diamond plate underarmor. I love every mod especially for the use I put it to. Depending on what kind of riding you'll do...

green02crew

Possibly a failed lock mechanism. Begin the troubleshooting process.

Goodyear Wrangler MT/R in 30x9.5

green02crew

I know I had a similar issue before as well. I felt dumb to learn it was a fuse. Maybe thats not in your case but its a good one to rule out. I have a trailer that when hooked up blows a left turn signal fuse every time. Hooked to another truck it does not. Other trailers don't blow my fuse either. ...

green02crew

I wouldn't say its worth that for our trucks, this coming from someone that tuned their PCM. Not worth it. Maybe a dedicated track rig? If you can use it on more than one vehicle and have a couple that can use it or the cash to blow, I say sure and let us know how it is!

green02crew

I run 1.5" spacers up front with 30x9.5s I wouldn't go less than that with stock wheels. Seems to fit right. Get larger ones for the rear, I have 2" to line mine up. What width tires are the 33"? I have 30's with no trimming and 2" lift. I have noticed no extra wear on components other than since cr...

You're trying to lock the doors with the key in the ignition correct? If so, that is functioning properly, if not begin to check your drivers door lock for malfunction.

green02crew

My tires wear perfectly at an amazingly high 50 psi. Can depend a lot on the tire.

green02crew

I had the kind on the outside. A friend the in channel ones. Go in channel. Better attachment and better look.

green02crew

Interesting that it set the SES. I realize here it would be more of a novelty thing to run. I think it would be interesting to try however.

green02crew

Bringing this one back after a couple years:
Non E-85 Tahoe run on E-85 for 100k

I would try it out just to see what happens if it was available in my area. More of a novelty and see if it can rather than saving money, seeing as it really wouldn't.

green02crew

Wow you live in a rough area! The only stolen cars we see around here are when the keys are left in them!

green02crew

Mine doesn't click either. Nor does it hold very well.

green02crew

All I have to add is a change of the oil before letting it sit.

green02crew

Oh wow. Yeah that makes sense, thanks.

Since its winter and no riding can be reasonably had around here I've looked into comfort mods for summer. I've looked at some seats online like Corbin but the prices are at a premium.

Wow thats clean! You'll have to save some work for future projects, don't finish all the mods now!

All that sounds great except that its carbureted. So nothing would apply. I tuned the A/F ratios by tuning the carbs and replacing the air filter. Gearing will remain the same as it is a fun commuter 500cc not a race machine. Although some may have raced them as they're light and agile. I'm not plan...

I feel good about being more prepared than you as I can't think of any other scenario this would happen! haha. That's good news on the bluetooth. I am working on convincing a buddy to split a pair with me. We'll see how that goes.

Well since it's been getting cold and snow is starting to fly it was time to store the bike. But of course I can't just park it without playing. Changed the plugs. Oil change w/ full synthetics.

Sharp looking truck but I didn't think they put the 4L60E in the Avalanche. I thought it would have the 4L80? Especially when matched with the 5.3

Picked up a S&W 6906 Shorty 9mm limited run Performance Center. Low serial # and only 200 made. In great shape for sure. The poor quality cell pictures don't do it justice.
