They are not the strongest 1/2 ton transmission but they work. They have been put in Corvettes, Camaros, Vans and Silverados. So I guess technically yes, they are a "car" transmission as the Corvette is a car :lol: . Will it fail when offroading? Perhaps, as can anything else. Add a good tranny cool...

It has since gone away. The only difference I did was my usual winter prep. I sprayed the entire underbody with bar and chain oil

green02crew

Haha yes! That would look awesome for a weekend outfit!

green02crew

Picked up a couple rolls of expired tire retread. Used a few wider sections on my snowmobile trailer to ease getting on and off. Some other good uses seem outside stairs for a non slip surface. Anyone think of other uses?

green02crew

Well where's the fun in that??

green02crew

The steering felt a little loose at 60mph haha

I cranked my torsion bars and rub 30x9.5s just slightly in the fender on heavy hits.

green02crew

Speaking of too much weight in the bed... I think I may have been slightly over. I'm glad I didn't get rid of my overload springs though because I used those as they were bent the wrong way. I have an add a leaf and longer shackles. My drive shaft rubbed on the gas tank skid plate slightly. That had...

green02crew

I cleared the code and was going to get around to taking care of the problem, but... it hasn't come back recently. The only change I made was I stopped driving down a dirt road everyday. Strange? I think so.

green02crew

Little follow up over time from my full size stops on the front. With no weight in the bed I can jump the truck all I want and no rub. With a 700 lb load... oops. The bigger more aggressive tires still rubbed. It was my fault and I shouldn't have hit the "bump" that fast but didn't see it and was go...

I had to get a new rear caliper for the driver's side. It was pretty frozen. Cheap, under $50 for a rebuilt. Pretty easy job too. Did a rear brake job as well while I was at it. Now the parking brake barely... brakes. Still keeps it in place though.

green02crew

Search for it, I posted something on here a while ago about the same topic. I have a regular 12" behind my rear seat.

green02crew

I've done a lot of simunitions training. As real world as you can get without the real thing. Brings up lots of questions and makes you think!

Running something other than BFGs?

Just threw P0446 for the 3rd week in a row. Haven't had any problems with fueling up yet *knock on wood*. Am I looking at servicing the charcoal canister?

Thats awesome! I wish we had something like that going on around here! My town is trying to set up a drag strip but the towns around it are opposing its construction.

About to pull the trigger on a 2001 Honda Civic coupe. Little higher mileage than I wanted at 113k but great shape otherwise. Clean in and out, 4 new winter tires, new manifold which means new cat as they are a one piece unit, ss exhaust so no fear of rotting, same goes for the composite fuel tank, ...

Wait, warning lights flashing as in on and off or dash lights (gauges ect) dimming, big difference between those two items.

Alternator not putting out constant voltage when its cold. Mine has been known to do this. Warms up for a bit and starts to run normally. I try to ignore it hoping that someday it won't just die out warming up in my driveway because the alt did have any output. They just don't make things like they ...

I contacted that seller and it was already gone. I've found some others looking on craigslist and those were gone too.

"Civic, Kittery ME"

green02crew

Found an 04 Civic 2dr 5 spd power everything, 67k miles, $5600. Not bad if you ask me. Worth it to get a back up vehicle? I'm really considering this. It would get about 2x the fuel economy of the s-10 and cut down on wear and tear with it. Plus if the pickup goes down for service, I have no vehicle...

green02crew

Haha yeah a Honda ATV! Not a road worthy vehicle, atleast by law. Some areas call them quads others four wheelers if that helps at all. On another note, the car I'm looking for, '02 and up, would love low mileage granny veh if possible, I've heard good things about subarus but it has to be a fun dri...

I've been around lurking but haven't posted for a while so I figured I'd ask everyone's advice. I'm looking for a cheap commuter car to supplement my CC, in case its down for repairs, a second vehicle is needed, or for long commutes. I'm looking for something basic, 4 cyl, standard, a/c, something n...

Painted and installed with color match paint from NAPA. Some good sanding and prepwork was necessary as well as a good primer as it did not come preprimed as expected, it was bare metal.

Did you get wheel spacers to prevent frame rub?

The South American versions come with a diesel option. Search around, theres a thread around here on it somewhere.

green02crew

I ran cheap shocks for a little over a year. Two were blown out. They too had a lifetime warranty but how many times do you need to replace them to make it worth the extra cost to purchase better ones the first time? They're shocks, they won't make your pickup handle like a porche. There is a night ...

Swing away spare tire carrier?

green02crew

Sounds like a fun trip. I wish I could go a day WITHOUT seeing a bear... Things jump out in front of me and I get lots of calls for service because they get into dumpsters ( I mean metal ones, not the female kind).

Catch any good fish??

My driveshaft rubbed my gas tank skid plate. Nothing a BFH didn't take care of.

I once bought a refurbished tank from a company in Canada. The tank was just over $100. Wasn't for an s-10 but I can't imagine it would be too different. If only I remembered the name of the place it came from as that would most likely help.

green02crew

Goodyear Wrangler MT/R is staying near the top of my list.

green02crew

That was my thought as well HJ, I just like to think that it is more efficient! The sound is not different whether the window is open or closed on my rig, just inside the cab. I noticed the sound RIGHT after doing the mod, so I don't think its a real issue with the gear box and going bad. I still st...

green02crew

$500 isn't bad for that work linex, it takes a lot of taping off. It was $400 for the bed of the crew! Have them do the rocker panels while you're at it, rust prevention all the way.

green02crew

Funny, I too have noticed my steering pump making the same noise after the flaming river mod! The sound doesn't really bother me but mine is doing it as well, don't feel alone. I like to pretend its a Ford, they are known for steering sounds just as our rigs are with fuel pump buzzing!

green02crew

I added a .45 and a .40 glock.

green02crew

I meant no offense as well. The replacement of the radiator with a larger one worked for me. I do have the stock one going without use though.

green02crew

I'm from northern NH, not far from 04cewvt in fact as he is just a little further north than I but located in VT. On hot summer days, I cannot run the a/c in stop and go traffic. I also need to be careful driving offroad at slow speeds on hot days as well. And I have the larger capacity radiator, co...

I think he meant the bottom of the lens? Looks like there are two round spots there that have seen better days.

Stopped by napa, new ujoints are only $25 so I picked them up. I didn't have much time but I attempted to tear into the rear and was unable to get the ujoint to come out. Is it possible that its rusted in place or am I missing something after taking the two collars off?

green02crew

Usually no, not a full alignment, they can adjust that without doing a full alignment saving time and therefore money. It would be nice if they did redo it though.

green02crew

One heck of a deal if they do a good job. Not too many places like that around here but if I find one I'll be buying that package!

green02crew

Is there a limit to the amount you can get in a year or anything set like that?

green02crew

I have never pulled a driveshaft before. I am hesitant to do it. If I wait for something to fail, would it be catastrophic failure?

green02crew

So I take it this is uncommon? I'd hate to have to do a rebuild on it. Especially so soon with only 70k miles. That just seems like low mileage to do a rebuild.

green02crew

Haha that is true! Thanks for taking a stab!

green02crew

Hmm that is a possibility but I have had less tongue weight on the truck so that it squated next to none. That was a landscaping trailer with 2 4wheelers, double axle trailer so the weight was on the back. I tried different combinations of loading the weight (not necessarily on purpose) and all same...

I have a B&M Tranny Cooler, Corvette Servo, Longer Pin, Billet 4th, firmer shifts through programming, tow/haul mode, ~70k miles, 30x9.5 tires and it is corrected for them, also running 3.73s.

green02crew

I searched but couldn't come up with something similar. When towing/hauling, the CC shudders accelerating from a dead stop till 2nd. If the trailer is heavily weighted, it will shudder under normal throttle. If the trailer is light, it will shudder under heavy throttle only. It does not do this with...

green02crew

Did this last night. Was very quick and easy. Also straightforward. It made a difference but not drastically huge but still nice. I think this would best be combined with the quick ratio steering box, although I do not have that as of yet since I heard it was a pain in the a$$ to put on.

green02crew

Mine looked fine but the passenger side had in fact slipped off.

green02crew

I have the extra capacity radiator and if I run the a/c in traffic, I too have the same issue. I can only run the a/c at higher speeds. Another solution would be to get used to running with the windows down if it doesn't bother you too much.

green02crew

I just bought these shocks too...

green02crew

In talking about length, I've done an AAL and 2" lift shackles. When putting the shocks on, I had the truck on a lift and had to jack the rear wheels up so the shocks were able to reach. Normally, shouldn't the shocks need to be compressed slightly to install?

green02crew

I would stop adjusting them as well if I had them but my coworker will set them each time I can see it now! He bought the truck just for a camper hauling vehicle and it is really nice but he also takes it through town now and again. He has upgraded the rear suspension so it rides like a tank. It has...

Alright well back to the Ranchos that I had asked about before! My coworker let them set open overnight as he was going to call Rancho the following day and see what was up with them.

Not much of a difference at all between the 30 and 31. I found width was actually the bigger issue as it would hit the frame.

Okay, I'm working to install my full size front bump stops. I took of the front wheels and managed to get the old stop out. I jacked the truck up by the frame to get clearance for the new stops.

I have ordered a few things from GM Parts Direct and shipping was actually quite fast I was suprised as I heard the same thing. The items were special order as well.

green02crew

I have those in 30x9.5 and you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you have an alignment if needed to keep them healthy. I wish I had the 31s, kinda jealous.

green02crew

It did state that some people would mistake it for the shocks being bad.
