K&N filter part # 62-1030 is a perfect fit for the air pump inlet hose and it will prevent water and dirt contamination. :wink: I used the same filter on my 01 CC with good results. :D Summit sells this filter for $16.69 http://static.summitracing.com/global/images/prod/norm/knn-62-1030_m.jpg Steve...

I've splashed through some pretty deep stuff, and had my engine hydro locked... so something else might be causing the issue... My truck throws the code for the after cat O2 sensor whenever I floor it for more than 3 seconds once the truck is at operating temps :D Yea, mine will hit that code also ...

quickbiker

Hey all, got tired of using pliers for the plug on the hot feet fix. I installed a small 1/4 turn valve, works great. I try to get some pics up.

PICS Update here.

quickbiker

Well, 3 years later, and 104k miles, my secondary pump is shot again. Ordering another pump and check valves. Although I am thinking of skipping the valves this time, but probably shouldn't. Musta been that flooded out dirt road I splashed through too fast. I gotta get some kinda cover on that hose.

quickbiker

It's probably true, why not? But they are counting the stats from a full charge. And how much does it cost to charge that battery all night? The cost of electric is very high. And how much fuel is burned to charge the batteries? All that hybrid stuff is such garbage. It's just an intermediate fix th...

quickbiker

Check this thread.. What I had to do was to replace the air pump, check valves (2ea), and the fuse.

quickbiker

Nice!

quickbiker

Yea, the s-10 crew cab have stopped production and give it another 5-10 years, they will be in high demand among hard core wheelers. They are made to be modified! lol.

quickbiker

We should make a section just for general trucks so we keep all the goof folk we get here.

quickbiker

Haha, I got a got an email on the post also. I've been so busy, I haven't been spending any time on the forums. But I do still have my Crewcab. It's right where I like it. The leaf over axle and a small added leaf to the pack fixed my probs.

quickbiker

Now a code got set. Says p0757, Shift Solenoid B circuit stuck on. That sucks, I wonder if the gusy didn't connect it up or somthing. Aarrrgghhh.

I really don't feel like dropping the pan on a newly rebuilt trans.

quickbiker

That's the plug on the tcase, right? But the speedo works fine. Thanks for the vent info.

quickbiker

There is a small metal tube on the top of the 4L60E transmission. I just am trying to verify this is only for venting. Anyone know? I got my rebuilt trans in, and it does not shift at WOT, it does kinda shift back and forth at close to idle, and as soon as I give it some gas, it goes straight to 1st...

quickbiker

ok let me say i dont hate this engine, it just i want a little more power out of my truck. i had a 454 and im used to it, so i want something a little bigger. im guessing someone has done the research on one, so if you could point me in the right direction please. Try regearing the axles, you'd be ...

quickbiker

I spoke with the Pheonix trans and he didn't tell me not to do it or either way really, he thinks it always a good idea to put all new oil instead of only 30% of it. So I am going ahead with getting it done.

quickbiker

Yea, I really feel uneasy about it. But he assured me he had it done to his Corvette and Elcomino and never had probs. I asked him if this guy balances aftwards, he says there is no need cause such a small hole. But I've been thinking to tell him not to do it. I got some time yet before it's in the ...

quickbiker

Thanks. I was starting to think I was the only one/first one with a crewcab that has had problems. I've heard the earlier 4L60E's had problems with the sun shell thingy doo, but our's should be excluded. Mine has 100k miles on it. I have a hunch that programing the firmer shifts on it made it go bad...

quickbiker

I'm having a friend of a friend rebuild my tranny and while he is at it, he is going to put a small drain plug on the torque converter so when I change the oil, I can also drain the TC. I've never heard of doing this, but sounds like a good idea. Says he does it to all that he does and never had a p...

quickbiker

Demellos sliders are awsome and very stronge. I've slid off boulders and all the weight of the truck slamming on it with no problem.

quickbiker

Having probs getting to the pump. Some of my probs can be found at the end of this thread. Ugh.

quickbiker

Thanks killian. I did check that list of item on the CC site, but see nothing about what I am experiencing. I got my TC back and it'a been totally rebuilt and has a stall speed of 1800. But still that was not the prob. I still haven't got a chance to check out the pump yet. I few days ago I picked u...

quickbiker

Yea, I remember you saying it was about that, 2200. And I did believe you, cause it does feel a bit high. Yea, he said I would lose power off the start, which I could care less, it's a truck, not a drag racer. I am looking forward to the lower temps and better rock crawling. I was actually thinking ...

quickbiker

UPDATE: It's been very slow moving if not moving much at all on my truck. I did finally send my torque converter to Pheonix Transmissions. They are very easy to talk with and deal with. They cut my TC apart to see if they can tell me if that's what was causing my noise. They did not see anything wro...

quickbiker

Mine has always popped, but has always gone up and down fine. Good luck.

quickbiker

Been a while, but now for a point and shoot camera, the Cannon S3 rules. My S2 still works perfect, so can't justify it yet.

quickbiker

OK, still confused (put ? in other pertinent thread). I got the flexplate wrench in preparation for the TC. I got the smaller one that says works with GM and all plates. Will call this place later, cause their email bounced. :!: The one made with low stall speed for 4x4's sounds good. Probably won't...

quickbiker

OK, so this is the pin.

This is for 3-4?

And what is for 2-3????

Or I just need the 2 of those?

quickbiker

Hook a hose to it and use for portable vacuum. lol. Just kidding.

quickbiker

Wow, both prog and servo.

So, would I need 2 pins, one for 2-3 and one for 3-4? And I need 2 caps for it?

quickbiker

Hey, hey, the rear leafs aren't junk.

And the expert that built my truck thinks they're awsome also.

quickbiker

So for the server upgrade, I only need to buy that pin and the circle thingydoo? I'm wondering if I'll like it. Cause I discovered I like the softer shift and took off my programming for firm shifts a while back. Does it act smoother than the programming firm shift?

quickbiker

Someone here had the same prob. No one seems to give out info of what they got for a replacement.

quickbiker

Yes, it pays to really listen and follow the ears. I thought I did at first, but I should have checked more closely, I would have saved another tcase tear-down. I wonder if I can just take that access cover off, and see the bolts from there? It may just be loose bolts. I'd be so lucky, but who knows...

quickbiker

Am I the first one to replace a TC? Maybe I got a defect? I know there are some out there with 100k or more miles. What's strange is a guy I work with had a ZR2 with about 100k miles and had noise also and had a dealer rebuild the tcase for like $1200 bucs. He coulda bought a new one for less :?: . ...

quickbiker

I guess your tranny was contaminated? Did you have any shavings or bits on the magnet?

quickbiker

Here's some pics of tcase disassembly/assembly. If figure that's worth at least a thousand words.

quickbiker

Thanks allot, I copy/pasted for later reference. Some of it don't make sense to me, can't really get a picture in my mind yet how it comes apart. But I hope it will later. No pictures?

quickbiker

My torque converter problem started out as a whining noise that lasted months and then ended up a loud chattering noise. I originally thought is was my rear axle.

quickbiker

Don't worry about doing anything the same, that's why we have these forums, to learn from other successes and failures and get ideas. There's no patent on anything. I've seen allot of SAS jobs, and the one that I really liked was Warn's when he had his 35's, that in my mind was perfect, but, with so...

quickbiker

OK, sounds like this will be a long job and I'll be taking my time whenever I get time. How come both you are talking about rotating the crank shaft? Is that to get to all the TC bolts? And yea, last night I was thinking about using a bunch of extensions and a universal, ugh. Replacing the main rear...

quickbiker

I dunno which to pick. I know there's got to be quite a selection, but I can't find much doing searches. I wouldn't mind beafing up the tranny, but dunno if I want to mess with something that ain't broke. I think I'll wait till it breaks. I guess I want something that is going to be awsome for slow ...

quickbiker

So where can I get a bullet proof TC? And since I wheel it and stock motor, I don't really want to go hight in stall speed. Actually lower may be better in my case?

quickbiker

I take that back, there is fluid inside the TC, but not surrounding it. So the tranny could get contaminated. Guess I am lucky so far. I'm wondering, I guess a tranny cooler would help extend the TC life also? Dunno if it gets much circulation though, since it just spins around in constant centrifug...

quickbiker

Yea, looks like it's been suck'n mud.

quickbiker

Yea, who says leafs don't flex.

quickbiker

If your TC has gone bad and put any material in the system you will have to replace the TC and transmission. :( Usually but not always when a TC goes bad it contaminates the whole system which is why everything must be replaced. Your best bet would be to take your truck to a well known transmission...

quickbiker

Edited title and moving to drivetrain forum- HJ Anyone have a torque converter go bad yet? It's been a busy day. After taking my drive shafts off, tearing down the tcase into every little piece that can be apart, I find out there is nothing wrong with it and everything is as tight as can be. But wh...

quickbiker

You having too much fun. Where do I sign up?

quickbiker

Any lift that has supports in the rear to keep the lift parts from bending when you hit something is the best.

quickbiker

:lol: I remember that one! They are great drive shafts if you aren't going to do any hard rock crawling. The do give ya more accelleration. I lost some accelleration when I went to a steel shaft. The stock aluminum are fairly strong, and I hit it up againsta allot. That time that it broke, it was al...

Has anyone ever had problems with the 4L60E? Myself, I've found it to be the most awsome automatic ever built for many reasons.

quickbiker

:shock: There is allot of labor involved though, and with both wheel bearings replace, that is $400 in parts just with that. Just to make you feel better, I just replaced one of my rear axle seals (no idea why it was leaking), but to do that, I had to cut a pressed spacer and bearing off. So with ne...

It just amazes me of how so called professionals do crappy work. The ol motto if ya want it done right is so true. But I also understan...

quickbiker

There is nothing wrong with trimming and of course there is a neat way and a sloppy way to do it. The S10's wheel wells just aren't designed for bigger than 29 inch tires. If all ya do is lift and lift till the tires don't rub, it'll just look rediculous and be way to top heavy and useless.

quickbiker

OK, at the time it was a "Semi-truck", hahaha. The axle lock didn't help him. I could see both his axles spinning, if he had a diff locker, he may have gotten out though. He sure did tear up a few tires! I've used my winch way more times not wheeling than I have wheeling. I've found it an invaluable...

The worm gear in the steering box is designed with a crown. That is normal. That is why the free play for the scepter shaft must be adjusted with the wheel centered. If you were to tighten the steering box with the wheels turned it would bind when it reaches center. Thanks Henry. I guess that's par...

Yea, if you click on details link of the different models it reads: "Skill lever - low". I still have my old 220v arc welder, but I wonder why I still use that thing when I watch someone mig weld. A world of difference. And you won't get the sloppy crud on it with the gas.
