Guess you mean a stick? I was thinking of just swapping in a 231, but I've really not had any problems with mine and I got my CB on the center and wouldn't have anywhere else to put it. And it was the most easy fix.

Guess you were planning on getting new tires.

I wonder how long it would take for them to catch fire.

quickbiker

That FIPK kit sucks. I ran mine for 12k miles and it gave me nothing but trouble. No matter how tight I tightened things, something would come loose, whether it was a hose or some nut. I have all the pieces if anyone wants to buy it. I've found the stock box with a drop in KN filter works best. Mayb...

quickbiker

Get the HPPIII. I got mine calibrated for 35's/4.88's. The setting that worked for that was 32's/4.56's. Since the HPPIII can be set for a max of 33's and 4.56's, like Henry said, I still had to be creative with the combo, but it's right on the money.

quickbiker

Mine's a custom cat back dual exhuast with a V-Force muffler, 2.5" Stainless Steel pipes, and two 3" slash cut black chrome stainless steel exhaust tips. Had a local muffler shop install it for me back in December of 2004. Probably my most favorite mod yet! And yes, I can get my spare down... but i...

quickbiker

No probo. Ugh, I know someone will benefit. Everything seems impossible till the pieces fall together. Knowledge is power!

quickbiker

OK, I finally did it. It was way easier than I figured, especially since I got rid of the crossmember that was in the way.

Here is my splot on it.

quickbiker

The Stauns are the best.

quickbiker

Met someone in an SFA Taco last week that had one. He says he's very happy with it.

quickbiker

Still got my sporty.

quickbiker

I just reprogrammed mine to take out the firm shift. It was getting anoying. Now it's a nice smooth shift without the jerking around. Strange, maybe it's cause of all my different parts now. Wow, it's been so long since I've been on this forum. Just decide to do some surf'n.

quickbiker

I dunno what up, but I bought the 50 watt reverse lights and they aren't as bright as my stock ones, so I put stock ones back in. What up with dat?

quickbiker

Check you clutch on your fan. Mine did the same thing and had to replace mine at about 70 k miles I think? Got mine from Rockauto.com. At 82k now and no prob.

quickbiker

You da man! Thanks!

quickbiker

Anybody have any links to any diagrams of how to tie together fly string on a fly rod? I'm just getting into this and I have 2 different strings and have no idea how to put it together. And this will actually involve my truck, cause there is some heavy wheeling involved to get to the fishing spot. :D

Mmm, I'm wondering if it would be a bad idea for my size tires.

quickbiker

Sweet. Let us know how you like it after the swap. I've been pondering the same mod for a while now, but waiting till mine wears out probably. I kinda like the stock one for the highway though, but at times want the quick ratio. Be nice to switch between the 2. lol.

quickbiker

Yea, they should have checked alignment. As I remember, some of the stuff that keeps it aligned has to come apart to swap the CV shafts. Good luck.

quickbiker

Yea, I was doing that. OK, I just fixed it. I uninstalled the Topo maps and re-installed it. Working fine now. Ugh.

And you have Ver 6??? I just got this thang, and I am running Ver 3.02 of Topo maps. Gee.

quickbiker

Then ya got all these passwords and license key. Argh, probably can't remember them. Time to open source all this junk. I probably do that in a couple weeks, I'm off tomorrow morning for a few weeks work road trip. At least the street maps are working.

quickbiker

Yea, it sees them. Ha, I do computer stuff for a living and I just get so frustrated with stupid apps. When I select Topo maps, it has always asked me in the past to insert the CD, now it doesn't, it doesn't do anything. Just displays a blank map, no topo info and it seems happy.

quickbiker

Actually I thought it was DVD, but it's just CD's, 3 of them. It's the only maps you gotta have the CD in to look at them and load them, kinda stupid. But I can't see them at all now, and when I select it from the Map Source App, it doesn't even ask to put it in, and it shows no map data. Ugh, how f...

quickbiker

I changed some CD and DVD players around in my computer, put in a new DVD writer and now I can't seem to figure out how to get my Garmin to load the Topo maps from DVD. Seems it doesn't even try. Anybody know.

quickbiker

Here's a custom gas door, didn't cost anything. And still functional

quickbiker

Welcome 2k! I like those extremes. I think it be nice to have both high and low s10's! Sweet. Be nice to have an extreme for a daily driver. Bet it's got nice power and good milage. Wanna trade an 86 Z28 for it? Just kidding.

quickbiker

Mine did it for a couple years, but the past couple years it has stopped. Looks like it just fixed itself. So the GM self healing option works.

quickbiker

quickbiker

I get tired of all the steps to do anything in the manual. I just look at it and do it the easiest way, which usually skip a several steps the manual says. The manual is good for looking up torque specs and fluid capacities though, and it does make a good starting point at times.

quickbiker

It don't matter. What matter's is having the the resultant clearance you want in equal or you may want a bit more on the driver's side for driver weight.

quickbiker

:shock: Wowzsers. I didn't remove any manifolds. I just took them out. One of the bolts is a bit tricky. I had to use a crows foot on it. I didn't have to jack mine up either, but that among many other benifits of having a solid axle and lifted. It was a bit tricky and required the right amount of l...

quickbiker

I never knew that ever had problems. Best tranny I ever had so far.

quickbiker

I'm here, sometimes.

quickbiker

quickbiker

Chop it up! That's the only way to go! lol

quickbiker

Check it out.

quickbiker

True, but dag, no laughing matter when it happens to yourself. Yea, it's no biggy, I just replaced a bunch myself. Pound them out and put the new ones in.

quickbiker

quickbiker

Mine does that same thing since I bought it. I even had it replaced under warranty, same thing. At times it sound very loud, but not all the time. Still catches me off guard at times. But I've accepted it as normal by now, never really worried about it, at least I know it's working.

quickbiker

Thanks bad. OK, AB2, shot one your way. Looks like you hard work on this site is paying off! Congrads in advance (I hope).

quickbiker

But can it do this?

quickbiker

OK, I'm lost. Where do I vote?

quickbiker

Scroll up. :lol: I just don't have the time. I barely have enought time to do repairs. I got too many hobbies. Tomorrow is my off-day, so I am figuring which one of my hobbies I want to do. It's supposed to hit 72 and it feels warm outside right now, so I may take the boat out and go fishing. It may...

OK, seems everything is in order now after I replaced the tranny mount also. Amazing that stuff dry rots in 5 years. Also replacing the water pump and other pm stuff while I am in there.

quickbiker

Kewl, I got a set of their diff covers on my truck.

quickbiker

Well, I just replaced them. Now the fan is hitting the top of the fan shroud. WTF. I also see some antifreeze a bit on the engine. Trying to figure where it's coming from. Maybe it did screw up the water pump. Ugh. Looks like more for the weekend to work on.

quickbiker

Ugh, that's so big. lol

quickbiker

Aarrrgghhh. I'm trying not to be paranoid. I hope the ones I got hold up. I am thinking the stock ones have something built in that prevents it from wacking the side, cause of the way it's made. I haven't done any damage yet. I still think it's designed the way it is for a reason. I can see that may...

quickbiker

250 ft/lbs torque at 2800rpm. Sweet. That's why our motors are great! Nothing will beat that at that low of rpm.

And it doesn't mention, but most of the others have drum rear brakes.

quickbiker

It be nice, but I just don't have the time. Too much other stuff going on. I got new mounts sitting in the truck waiting to be put on, just waiting to find the time. Ugh. I ended up just buying aftermarket stock from Autozone. They have life time warranty. I'll see how they hold up. I just don't lik...

quickbiker

It looks like it's separating. I only notice when I am really pushing it hard rock-crawling. It's been getting more noticable the last time I went wheeling, just yesterday. I thought it was some kind of grinding, but then I see rub marks on the fan shroud. I hear they are famous for separating, caus...

quickbiker

It can come in handy. There are lots of instances it would be nice, but not particulary super important thing to have.

quickbiker

According to that, it comes with everything. Yea, looks like $85 total. Looks like what I've been looking for. I was originally looking for possibly poly, but I really don't like the idea of poly. I mean, just think about it. The frame flexes quit a abit when rock crawling. I know, cause I can tell....

quickbiker

OK, found this. I'm going with their recomendation and use the 2.8 mounts without the poly. The 4.3 mounts suck.

quickbiker

I'm look'n for good strong motor mounts. Where's the best place?

quickbiker

Shweeet!

quickbiker

quickbiker

The people that welded I've noticed are just the type that like welding everything, cause of fear. I didn't weld anything, and it held up to anything I gave it. I did have to grind a few things.

Added: Oops, I guess I did have to get the exhaust cut/welded for re-positioning.

quickbiker

That goes for about all 4x4's on the market. With all the roll-over regs. Just looks at the 4x4's of the 70's, the stock clearance was awsome, now they all just look like low riders.

quickbiker

I still haven't figured why the interier always gets ragged on. I haven't seen any interier to beat it yet. What other make of vehical angles all the center controls toward the driver? What other make puts an "oh sheet" grab bar ont the dash board? What other make makes their grab bars on the roof a...

quickbiker

Then your best bet would be to get an older vehicle that has a mechanical fuel pump ($20) and a carb mounted filter ($1). Problem solved.

quickbiker

Yea, sounds like you need to find a new gas station for filling up. It's a fuel problem, not a chevy problem. I got 75k miles and still running original same filter.

quickbiker

Looks like about normal for the Crewcab. I think we should all get a 5k check.

quickbiker

You got 25k out of it?

quickbiker

Canon S2 rules!

quickbiker

You can get a custom fab one done for less if anyone is close to you.

quickbiker

I have one boot, the official boot kit from GM if you're interested. $30 shipping included. PM me if interested.

quickbiker

It's not just GM. It's all of them. I've been there with Dodge also. And I've heard the same mess from Toyota. It's all about the squeeze of the Buck, and nothing about the Customer.

quickbiker

Yea, I was lucky. He recently moved here, so I got his service before he got too famous.

quickbiker

Realift must be getting serious royalties.

quickbiker

Wowzers, small world. Yea, he's trying to get it done, but gets bogged down with projects for customers like mine.

quickbiker

haha, yea, the Camaro one works ok I guess. Mine did go one day out on the expressway during rush hour on a 90 degree day. haha. I waited a couple hours on the shoulder till the traffic was moving enough to keep me cool. I replace the motor and was good to go. Then one day during emissions testing i...

quickbiker

It's just that the S10'rs I've seen running them seem to have over heating problems at times. And I've also seen them have trouble with them working at times. I'm probably a minority here, but I actually think the stock clutch fan works rather well. I only had some heating up problems once at about ...
