Could this be what some of us think are our shocks making noise? I thought the clunk I heard were my cheapie shocks but it has remained after replacement with the bilsteins. Could it be the hood hinge?

The door has an arch to it and the arm connecting the door is shorter in length.

green02crew

What is the age of the belt? Could it be the simple solution of changing the belt and putting on a goodyear gatorback? Mine would squeak nearly constant until I put a gatorback on.

green02crew

$42.65 to my door through GM Parts Direct. Writing this one off as the rust gremlins again. They have been striking hard lately.

green02crew

The hinge on the fuel door broke causing the door to hang loose. Rust seems to have ruined the hinge. I found a replacement on LMC truck for $50 shipped, I'll still have to paint it though. Anyone know of better alternatives? For a junkyard find it would have to be a CC as the door is different than...

Hauling capacity is not advertised to be increased it just handles the load better but yes you could haul more weight easier.

Rear Flare Issues

Self tapping screws from the bottom lip of the flare, head of the screw facing the ground, into the fender.

green02crew

I never had the front rub so this was new to me altogether. The inner lip on the fender was bent down a little after the rub. I didn't see any damage to my tires. I took a hammer and persuaded it back into place. Hopefully the stops will help with that issue. And here I was thinking 31s would fit ok...

green02crew

Just had my front end rub after going over a snowbank too fast, new stops on order. I have yet to have the rear rub so we'll hold off on those for a little while.

green02crew

I second the goodyear wrangler mt/r tires. I would also like to add firestone destination a/t to the mix. I use those as my summer tires and the goodyears as my winters as they are better in the deep snow. I have not had any issues with either one and will continue to run both. The firestones rate h...

Been dropping like flies lately!

I installed mine couple days ago. Thanks to this deal online I have great shocks! They do make a difference over what I had, not huge but there. I would say as big a difference as the twin tube pressurized I had vs stock. Ride is actually smoother, handling about the same. Can't complain there! Good...

green02crew

Well I have given in and got the Bilsteins. Came in today. I will see if I get a chance to install tomorrow before work as long as I have time and its not too cold. That is quite the sale they are having, motivation for those that have not purchased shocks to get them now!

green02crew

Maybe try looking for a Zr2 rear axle. There is another member on here that has one and the wider stance is nice as well. Also on ebay if you check s10 warehouse there are usually some available.

green02crew

I did not use 28ga wire. I used what I had laying around, I believe it was 18ga. Not a huge deal, still worked just tighter fit.

green02crew

You can always get a tool box for the bed. I have a nice Delta diamond plate box filled to the brim with extra gear. I also have more stuff behind the seat too :lol: . Only problem is now I have practically no bed space to utilize. But large loads are typically planned out and the box can easily be ...

I saw a blue one with a body lift one day. It was taller than just a body lift though, I couldn't get a good look at it as I was in traffic.

green02crew

Is there much up and down bounce while traveling or does it fit rather tight? Also, how do you load it?

green02crew

I have used some ham technology before. I recently went to a smaller PD near where I grew up and they use a system called packet cluster which is essentially internet over the radio. Pretty neat system but switching soon from that to IMC mobile, which uses cell phone towers. The department has issue...

Here's the link to what I posted before: rear seat

Making a sub box isn't bad at all. Buy some particle board at your local Home Depot/Lowes, measure, make your cuts and you're good to go.

Another thread with some dimensions.

Buy a box for 2 or 1 8" subs

green02crew

killian, some of those may come with the next tune up, some are above my price range and skill level. The recovery package is similar to what I would be getting but I was looking for a cheaper route since that is above my price range big time. I'm trying to save up for a downpayment on house. f9k9, ...

green02crew

I have done quite a few mods to make this truck fit my needs. I would like to get a body lift and put 31's on but that is just not possible. The years of salt and rust around here would make the body lift a nightmare, not to mention the cost of new tires. I have just recently noticed the mass amount...

green02crew

There was a link here somewhere to a box you could purchase pre made to fit behind the rear seat. I made one specially to fit my 12" sub. It was tight and I had to move the rear seat slightly to fit it. There is a topic around here somewhere as well that I had posted on describing the process. It is...

green02crew

Getting off topic but, is this really needed? I did not install anything special when putting in my aftermarket deck. Just a wire harness adapter for ease of installation and that was it. Works just fine, no issues there, turns off after 20 minutes or when the door is opened. Is this something to do...

green02crew

While you are under there, read the thread on the transfer case vacuum switch. And also read about the plastic distributor for when you will eventually be changing the cap and rotor. Two good things to look for and remember on these trucks.

green02crew

Turn up the torsion bars, get a body lift. The only realistic means to lifting the front end.

green02crew

Rear shackles and add a leaf would be a good route to take in my opinion. Cheap too, check out a fellow member's website http://www.synergyoffroad.com/

green02crew

The shocks would be the same. Thats a killer deal, free shipping.

green02crew

Heres a link: http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index.cfm?mode=results&selected_model=3842&selected_year=2001 That will take you to the correct Bilstein Shocks for our CC, just scroll down a little and you'll see the complete set, add to cart. $180 shipped! Maybe this is the excuse I need to get myself ...

green02crew

Speaking of which, what would the service interval be for our timing chain?

green02crew

Don't let it go long, replacement is cheap and easy compared to issues that may come up.

green02crew

Yes I am awaiting news of the tax break. I would have a hard time getting a loan from a bank with my age ect. I am ultimately hoping that I can rent to own but those will be few and far between.

green02crew

Well, an opening became available in my home area. I have transferred to another department. Smaller, friendlier, more like a home town. I am planning on buying a house in the area as prices are in the favor of the buyer currently. If I get a place I want, I will have a garage!

green02crew

I have seen those locally on the snowmobile trails. They are a unique ride.

green02crew

Makes sense, I'll give it a shot and see if the battery drains. I do know the accessorie power ports do not shut off and will drain your battery.

green02crew

I have heard of temperature and fuel economy studies. The warmer the engine, the more efficient it can be. However, now you are going to be on the verge of knocking with the higher temps. Timing has to be retarded and fuel economy and power reduced. There is a happy medium. I think the stock temps a...

I recently installed a streamlight stinger. I put it on the passenger floor right next to the center console but far enough forward so the seat can still move ahead. I now carry that and a maglight. Will leaving the flashlight on the charger overnight run my battery dead? I'm going to try it tonight...

green02crew

Hmm interesting, so what is the procedure for resetting the SDM?

green02crew

I am not worried about the airbags at this point. My girlfriend is too short for them anyways so it is good to have them disabled when she is riding. I am more curious why they would be disabled and how to turn off the annoying light

green02crew

Yes tow/haul does work! Shifts firmer than my firmer shifts by just a little. It does allow the transmission to shift into OD which I did not expect. It will help with the 4 place enclosed snowmobile trailer this winter. The retaining clips broke with me just unhooking them, very little pressure app...

green02crew

I too only got the 4100.

green02crew

Install was very straight forward. Look at the photos that were posted carefully, I confused the black and blue wires on the harness behind the heater and wondered why the switch did not work. Switched the wires and all was fine. My harness was easily pulled out, I could see it sticking out from beh...

green02crew

Received BCM, attempting install in the AM if time permits.

green02crew

Seatbelt could be unbuckled with the parking brake set. Low voltage might illuminate the battery light.

green02crew

I agree with what HenryJ has just posted. I looked at the picture and viewed it slightly differently. I thought the key was in the on position but with the engine off so it was reading around 12v from the battery. I did not really think of it that way though! Two minds really do view two things diff...

green02crew

I don't believe Horsehammerr meant offense by the comment. It was simply being stated that our gauges are not accurate enough to calculate MPG, you need to fill the tank and go by mileage. Gas gauges are only as accurate as looking into a tank and guessing the gallons inside. Each one is calibrated ...

green02crew

Normal

green02crew

Maybe about 3" higher than stock. Give or a take a little, depends on how much you cranked your torsion bars and what true size your tire is. Every vehicle is different. Get out a measuring tape!

green02crew

Ok, it is beginning to make sense. Changes cannot be made to a PCM after the HPP3 has read/written its data or it will not match what the HPP3 had read previously thus causing a problem. It was just a thought in my head wondering how it would work.

green02crew

Which VIN does the HPP3 read from, BCM, PCM or none of the above? If you change your BCM or PCM with a different model, for example I have had my PCM (and soon BCM) changed with one from another vehicle, does the HPP3 read the VIN that came from one or the other of these past vehicles? So in theory,...

green02crew

I'm still drooling over okie s10's truck. Maybe its the black though because I do like BobbleSmitty's truck as well.

green02crew

I am still looking with no luck. I have read online that the BCM can be programmed and features added with a Tech2 scan tool. My local GM dealership informs me otherwise. I have searched for a BCM using the numbers available from the vehicle HenryJ scavenged with no luck. The numbers just don't appe...

green02crew

The roof rack and hood really make the package complete

green02crew

I have made calls around here and cannot come up with a BCM let alone the wiring and button. The yards do not have anything available. I used the VIN that HJ had photoed in the glovebox for a search as well through the yards with no luck. Anybody know where I can secure a BCM with the needed feature...

green02crew

ebay s-10 warehouse has some abs motors for cheap.

green02crew

Now to find the BCM , wiring and switch! Online locations anyone?

green02crew

Are the shift points changed?

green02crew

The ABS in the early Chevy designs I think are junk. The pedal vibrates and does what it should however the vehicle does not stop as fast as if the tires are just before lockup. I think they back off the brakes too far. I know the studies and I know ABS is more safe, I just don't feel ours is design...

green02crew

Sounds to me like your ABS went. I never liked the ABS in our trucks anyways. Not very efficient IMO. The fullsize had some issues where there was a recall due to the ABS coming on randomly. I remember my dad's silverado had the ABS come on during operation trying to stop at a stop light on dry pave...

green02crew

So close yet so far.

green02crew

I will have to find an alternative switch. I already know that the yards around here won't have one. That rules out the wiring harness for me as well.

green02crew

I would be very interested in a good write up. I have wanted this feature for some time now. If it is as simple as a switch and wire, even better.

green02crew

Wow I got some people worked up didn't I! I was just wondering why it wouldn't fit. I am not able to go look at one hence the curiosity. Thank you for the information though HJ, I am glad to have learned!

green02crew

Would it hit the tank with articulation?

green02crew

What about the rear sway bar from the 2 door Blazers?
S10Warehouse
This has a different setup but I don't see why it wouldn't fit. Enlighten me please.

green02crew

I cut the lock washer and the ball was able to come right off. I got the twisted clevis with 3/4" pin. The 1" shackle was overly large, the weight was significant and the eyes for the pin were too large for my taste. I did get a sleeve to fit over the pin making it 1". The sleeve had to be ground do...

green02crew

Hmmm... well if they go for sale... I just happen to have an '02

green02crew

I am curious as well. And what information is in these manuals exactly?

green02crew

Some people have had issues with aftermarket cats throwing codes on the s-series. I would say stock is the best if you still have it lying around it might as well go back on. If you do not, I can't give a straight answer on what would work.

green02crew

Thats correct, the hose clamp does allow them to pop off.

green02crew

My K&N is taller than stock. The hood comes down on top of it so that it just touches. I have not had any issues with because of the touching after about 25k miles. If anything it helps. There is an issue with the aftermarket ones popping off, the hood holds it down quite well.

green02crew

The heating and cooling will not have a negative effect on the JB Weld adhesion, the stuff really is amazing. If you tried it you would understand, quick, easy, cheap, strong. I don't see many negatives there. If you clean the plastic and scuff it slightly before adhesion I would not worry at all. I...

green02crew

The JB Weld will make the seam stronger. It is stronger than plastic.

green02crew

Buy an adapter or splice wires, no theftlock to worry about unless a stock stereo

green02crew

I have never heard of K&N units having this issue before. I don't really see how the plastic splits like that maybe being squished by the hood? JB Weld available at hardware stores, walmart and homedepot to name a few places, works very well. It is a two part epoxy, takes some time to dry but I used...
