Thats part of what I am trying to figure out I thougt of running a bar down the entire inside length and then bolting the rail on at multiple points like stock which would spread the load eveny across the entire length of the bed.

Well with cold weather finally here I can say that there definitly seems to be a bit less lag when slowing down and then accelerating into a turn. Hesitation is much less. No real gas milage or horsepower effect see just runs a little smoother.

Not sure the size needed but found these on summit racing site.

So I have the zr-5 package with the factory bed rails and the instruction manual states they are for looks only

Anyone know of a set of bars that are better/more useful ore a way to beef up the factory bars ?

I traded my 95 blazer in for the crew with 243000 mi on the original vortec obd2 4.3 and it was still running strong.

04crewvt

snow = fun ,Ice = not so fun I would much rather deal with 3 feet of snow rather than even an inch of ice. I got caught in an ice fog with a chevy citation years age and the only way to start the ***n thing the next morning was to build a fire under the starter. :x I would be glad to ship you some b...

Done 3" crew cab cutouts even though for right now I am fine with the stock zr-5 flairs

Used to have a cab company up here with a 40ft 55 chevy belair stretch limo that really turned some heads

DSL is great I get 1.29mbps downloads 789 uploads for 29.95/month with my local rural telcom company and they give you the modem free with a one year contract.

6 to 8 inches more expected overnight/tomorrow. I got volunteered to bring the parents of my friend to dinner if it's snowing :roll: He doesn't want them driving 30 miles each way in their chrysler. I try to keep under 60 in snow just my way of keeping on the road. I did 360 in my nova in an ice sto...

04crewvt

yea I did that with my old 84 GMC Jimmy may it rest in pieces. Had the 2.8l with lots of mods and had the 4.11 front and rear diff gears from a 86 transplanted into it. Not very fast but man could it climb.

04crewvt

Ok my truck just turned over 14k and I am starting to look at what servicing will be needed in the near future. I know I will want to replace the fluid in the rear diff and while I am doing that I need some info. When the original owner of this truck ordered it he got all the options except for the ...

Cooper Weathermaster S/T 2 severe weather rated snows with studs 235/75R15. These are the largest passenger tire size of this. I have run this same type tire on 4 different vehicles and love them.

Just found this on line

First real snow of the season

Drove home in 4in. of slushy wet snow. Put er in 4HI to pass schmuck driving a f/s GMC at 35mph in a 50 zone up a grade with a truck lane. passing lane was nasty but I passed the guy smooth as silk. 50 was no problem in 2 wheel once I was past.

04crewvt

If you are running the cheap blue fluid change to either prestone yellow or rain-x orange fluid they are a defrosting windshield solution that works almost instantly on light lce/frost. I personally like the rain-x since it also adds a bit of the water beading stuff each time clean the windshield. i...

04crewvt

I solve all road noise the same way. two or three clicks to the right on the stereo volume knob usually does the trick

04crewvt

I'm thinking of these to replace my Wranglers in the spring.

Discoverer LT 31X10.50R15LT if I can get them to fit.

04crewvt

I like the fact that since Coopers aren't as well known they tend to be cheaper and the quality is fantastic. I run the ST/2's with studs and never fear any winter conditions.

04crewvt

I liked my AT,s but I only had them for about 20,000 mi when I traded the Blazer in. They still looked and performed like new but I never really pushed them. Max of 70mph and mostly 40-50mph daily driving no real offroading just a little 2-track.

04crewvt

I expect to wake up to an accumulation of snow every morning at this point.

My way of thinking is if I can drive over it I don't have to shovel it, so I am all set up to about 3 feet of powder

04crewvt

Were they winter tread or all season? I have run Weathermasters w/ studs year round on one car for nearly 30000 mi but cooper does make a couple of " economy" tires that are rated for that short a tread life

04crewvt

Sounds like vermont, but I think we get it a little earlier and a lot later.

04crewvt

Coopers are a great choice. I have run the weathermaster ST/ST2's on 2 cars, 1 GMC Jimmy, 1 Blazer and now my ZR-5 and Discoverer AT's on my Blazer and I love them. I really wish they would have let me keep my Discoverer's when I traded the Blazer for the ZR-5 The Stock Wranglers are dogs in compari...

Here you go Just find yourself one of these. Got this one from a former employers rental property. It was used to pressurize a 4 story buildings steam radiator valve system. http://www.s-10crewcab.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10117/thumb_04crewvt%20012%20%28Large%29.JPG http://www.s-10crewcab.com/...

B--L S--t Alert Just finished t bar crank on my crew. I really cranked mine 1.5" and watched while it was alligned with nothing but a couple of wrenches with no problems whatsoever as long as there is enough adjustment in the front end and the porkchop isn't bottomed out you should have no problems.

04crewvt

most of the adjustment was to the tierod adjusters whichever that is not sure if that is caster, camber or toe whichever it was way off. I haven't got printout of the before just the after numbers as his printer was dead. as long as it's good now I guess I am all set.

04crewvt

As I stated in first message I got the alignment done with no problems. Both toe and camber were way off but they had plenty of room to adjust to perfect alignment. I think part of my problem with the way the front end felt was that is was misaligned from the factory since the camber shouldn't have ...

04crewvt

yea I have seen those on the other threads they looked like what I did to my 72 Nova years ago to get the back end up where it belonged. I just went to the local junkyard and mixed and matched spring sets to get the height I needed

04crewvt

I think the other problem is the weight distribution in the truck. With the gass tank on the drivers side and me being the only person in the truck all the weight is on just one side and before anyone has a question about weight I am 6'5" and 350lbs so I do put quite a load on just one side, before ...

Here is a link. I put these in to fix sag in rear of the blazer I got it with 230,000K on it and it was a bit low in the rear. I just hoped that a new truck wouldn"t need them. Guess the rear suspension just really isn"t all it should be from the factory.

04crewvt

RSX has the variable valving for just that reason. I had these on my 95 blazer on the same roads without nearly the same problems, maybe the stiffer body from being 1 piece instead of cab and bed. By the way I do carry a tool kit in the bed apx 50lbs and have tried shifting it from front to back to ...

04crewvt

up or down ? Factory pressure 32psi was what I was running I just went to 35psi on my snows to help milage and unfortunately in Vermont even many of the "highways" are as bad as many washboard roads elsewhere. Only state I know where people actively fight to keep there roads from being paved and whe...

Had the truck in to the dealership for some warranty work and they adjusted the e-brake maybe they pinched something. I have to take it in for the rest of the work so iI will have them check that at the same time. I changed the shocks first thing, the factory shocks were shot with less than 7k on th...

04crewvt

Well I went ahead and cranked the t-bars and got 1.5" lift. I cranked driver side 5 full turns and the passenger side only 3. I had around 5 threads showing on the drivers side but only 2 on the passengers side. All corners now sit 32.5" from ground to flair. Drove about 200mi so far with no settlin...

saw this thread a week or so ago and since i am stuck with low cost/no cost upgrades right now i grabbed a stant 11330 ie carded 10330 at wally world.

Test results so far. Ok I pulled the screen and posted the numbers last week. Before I drove the truck I pulled both ECM fuses to reset to baseline programming. I have only put apx 50mi on this past week and so far no SES light or other drivability problems.I just completed a scan a few minutes ago ...

Just looked at your rig in gallery, you would have gotten a great look on the face of the driver with my backup camera. Looks like it would stare right into his windshield. You might have to mount the camera a wee bit lower than I did for full effectivenesss :wink: Sorry to hear about your problems,...

04crewvt

Ok so I just had to try something that a lot of you have talked about for a freebee mod. Having a auto x-ray scan tool I felt that it would be best to go about this scientifically so i scanned computer just before doing the mod, saved the data and then removed the screen and tested again. Total laps...
