My trucks original owner replaced the transmission like 3 times. The first one was the normal right after the warranty went out replacement from the dealer, it was rebuilt then once after and completely replaced right before I got it. I have almost 90k on this unit with no issues so far. Like they s...

ApproachMedium

This a 2003 or newer truck? If yours came with the higher end radio you will need that little GMOS box from metra to go between the wire harness to restore those functions. Other than that, theres no other function wires that you need connected from the truck to the aftermarket radio. things like th...

ApproachMedium

Yup. I just replaced mine because after 277k it broke apart lol. Was fun figuring out where it goes and that it was pretty much above my headers taking all that heat. I would imagine since you are not using it all of those lines could be removed and you wont have to worry about the trans fluid getti...

ApproachMedium

Thanks! I dont think I ever posted a fully "complete" shot after doing the V8 swap and cosmetic changes. I need to get a shot of it at dusk with all the lights on. It is now fully LED, including the 9006 headlight bulbs and it totally changed the look.

ApproachMedium

If you have GU6 3.42 gears in the rear then your front is the same. I could be wrong, but I think all of these trucks with the G80 were 4x4 3.73 gears

ApproachMedium

Well this wasnt today but over the weekend. Finally getting to the computer. Drove it all the way out to the pittsburgh area to spend the weekend with a friend. On the way home took the long way, Route 22 instead of the turnpike and did it the way my grandparents did before interstates. Mostly to ch...

ApproachMedium

My bump stops dont exist anymore on my truck after 276k. I kinda rememeberd that after passing over a cross street too quickly in Bethlehem PA over the summer. LOL That hurt...

ApproachMedium

Good luck finding a zr2 rear, like hens teeth anymore. The ZR-2 rear was 3.72 gears so your front must match the same. I got lucky my truck had a G80 in it with that gear ratio so the swap was straight forward. I gave the old axle away as trying to sell an axle with 270k on it would be a hard sell.

ApproachMedium

ABS units failing on these trucks is a common problem. I wouldn't be surprised if its the module itself and not the sensors, but it pays to check with diag tools first.

ApproachMedium

Your S10 should adjust the prop valve electronically with the ABS system. I think the 2001 service manual says something about it. I was doing a lot of digging when my ABS failed and it has some fancy thing to it if you have the 4 wheel disc brakes. I forget. i can do some re looking at the subject ...

ApproachMedium

That sucks! Sounds like somebody is fishing for money to pay a bill or something. I wonder where some of these people think they get this gold from?

Hopefully you can find what you need. Maybe you can send me some info, not that I know much about driveshafts, and we can look here in NJ.

ApproachMedium

Too many lugs here. LOL

ApproachMedium

Great. Good luck! Hopefully its just something stupid.

ApproachMedium

I would imagine AC or Delphi should be okay as they are both OEM suppliers for GM. I chose the AC since they had it on rockauto and it said it was factory oem etc. I did not see delphi. I have an Airtex in there now that was a "temporary" solution for when i was out of work and i needed the truck ru...

ApproachMedium

I didnt think to check this damn thing, totally forgot about it. But just had to order the new fuel pump for mine. Got the AC Delco this time.

ApproachMedium

There are no replacement lines for these trucks. There is a thread on here somewhere from a few years ago when one of my factory lines broke and we were looking for a replacement. The EXT cab fuel lines do not fit the crew because of the unique cab and fuel pump location on the tank. You pretty much...

ApproachMedium

Have the codes read. My truck behaved the same way when my speed sensor went. I had erratic speedo either was not picking up right speed or jumping around. Trans would not shift right. Changed sensor everything was right with the world. Whats funny, is this exact same thing happens with the locomoti...

ApproachMedium

headlight switch?? Do the lights all shut off when you shut the truck off? If so, if the truck is off can you turn the lights on and off with the switch? If the light sensor was bad, and parking brake is on when you start the truck the lights would be off and then when you release the brake they wou...

ApproachMedium

Those look nice. I need this.

ApproachMedium

I bought that same "junk jack" at Autozone so that I could do shocks and stuff in the Blazer. It could barely get the front wheels off the ground. It works for the Volkswagen, so its not a total loss but I somehow doubt it will even reach the frame on my truck or get it anywhere if it does.

ApproachMedium

Hard wiring is not a problem. We have two ugly lights in the hall downstairs that the roomies love to leave on, and they hog up alot of electricity with them pretty little crystal bulbs at 25 watts x6

ApproachMedium

Hey thats pretty cool! I think i need to get me one. I need to see what the brightness is like

ApproachMedium

House is looking good.

I like that you have that workshed thing. One of the things i must have when i buy property/house whatever (so hard in the state of NJ) is i want a garage or shed large enough to drive my truck in open all the doors and hood.

ApproachMedium

I would be interested in the harness so I can get rid of the mess that I made possibly. What year is both homelink consoles out of? I want to find one for a 98/99 to put in my friends blazer.

ApproachMedium

Oh wow thats interesting lol

ApproachMedium

Junkyards out there are so much cheaper. I really should be driving west to get my parts. Out here it costed me 100 bucks just for a hood thats not even perfect.

ApproachMedium

The rattling could be the cat. What is your fluid level like? Check the fluid with the engine hot and running, and preferably after driving it a bit. Does the fluid smell burnt or have a brownish color and not red color? You may just need a good flush and fill. Its hard to find anyone that will do t...

ApproachMedium

Better off with the newer one, just post the thumbnails here. If i click on them I can see the full size on the website. When I click these, its still just as small.

Glad to hear the little guy enjoyed it.

ApproachMedium

LOL opps. Yea these are not the cars of yesteryear. Gutting the cat just pisses the computer off even more.

ApproachMedium

Bottom line is bring it to someone who knows what they are doing with AC. Its not easy stuff i dont care what anyone says. If you do not know what you are doing you will just end up costing yourself more money in repairs later. Having an experienced AC tech do the work you know you will be set. At t...

ApproachMedium

I think i bought and sold mine somewhere in the range of 450-500 bucks.

ApproachMedium

Blazer axles are a dime a dozen. I think the local yards here (who are a bit pricey compared to the rest of the country) let them go for about 200. FWIW for a blazer just swap a used axle in. Something you could do with a friend in the back yard in an hour.

ApproachMedium

Should be able to replace the clutch, but be prepared they are not an easy task to replace. You need an impact gun.

ApproachMedium

Only replace the ones that arent working. Otherwise its pretty much a waste of time and money.

ApproachMedium

Get that thing moving! LOL Mines up over 270k now. Hasnt been driven much this summer due to the suspension upgrades and now waiting on the computer to get shipped back from Current Performance.

ApproachMedium

Linky no worky.

ApproachMedium

Wasnt there a way that Brule used a Homelink button to wirelessly run the winch? I could think of a few places to put it you just would have to get very crafty with the center console, and I would need to see what this looks like.

ApproachMedium

I never found that the stock driving/fog light things did much of anything. I have been driving without them for a year now and I dont really miss them. The only time they seemed to have any potential was off roading and in snow covered areas.

ApproachMedium

They dont make it. What I did with mine is it came with the "fog lights" they are really driving lights, because they are above the bumper line. Im connecting a relay to one of the pigtails for the "fog lights" and putting a set of actual fog lights under the bumper in the holes where my tow hooks w...

ApproachMedium

Are you talking about just the orange relfectors on the corners or the orange for the whole turn signal? You can get something like whats above and just remove the orange reflectors. I used to run stuff like that on my older cars with all Amber LEDs. Now I just got these for my truck in smoked black...

ApproachMedium

Thanks. Looks like they can do clusters too. $130 bucks isnt bad because a doorman rebuild module is 183 bucks plus a 100 dollar core charge from Rockauto.com. I am curious though if they will send me new screws with the replacement unit. Mine are shot and will need to be drilled out. The service ma...

ApproachMedium

EBCM does not store gear ratios, only the tire/wheel size as seen in the config pages for it on the Tech 2 which is done at the PCM and I guess passed along to the EBCM. Seeing how the service manual says it has to be re-inputted when the module is replaced leads me to think that until you command t...

ApproachMedium

Where are you sending your EBCM to be rebuilt?

ApproachMedium

This looks good: http://www.s-10crewcab.net/HenryJ/stabilizer/stabilizer.html I've been running the aftermarket rancho one. If you go on advance auto parts website they don't list it for the newer trucks, look under a 95 s10 4x4. Let's see pics. I'm curious which is the better setup :wave: Yea I wo...

ApproachMedium

I think people are confusing the EBCM (which is attached to the ABS pump), which is what the original post is about, and the BCM (under the dash). The BCM is VIN locked and can be reset with the proper software at the dealer. The EBCM if I remember correctly is not VIN locked. I ended up buying a A...

Interesting, thanks for the info! And it bolts right on to the 2000 model year series?

ApproachMedium

In my book it is page 5-175 under Anti Lock braking. It is under the ABS system Description and Operation part of the book, so after the DTC troubleshooting. It has the description of the DRP system and then it says Brake Warning indicator, where it describes the items that will cause it to illumina...

ApproachMedium

I prefer that the ABS does not work. My issue was with the brake light being on, could I get it inspected. Last year I pulled into the parking lot and cleared the ABS codes then got it inspected. This year the codes would come back as soon as the engine was cranked. Turns out it was for nothing. Go...

ApproachMedium

OK now that makes sense!

ApproachMedium

In case anyone is interested the truck is just about a year in on the V8 swap, and is still going strong. I had it at Afterhours fab for some suspension work most of the summer. Had the ZR-2 rear axle installed, ZR-2 torson bars up front, bilstein shocks and energy suspension bushings up front. So f...

ApproachMedium

Get an impact gun, it will make your life easy. Mine after 200k would not come out of the truck without it. Also do yourself a HUGE favor go to napa and buy the "brand new" units and not a remanufactured one. I had two remans go on my drivers side under a year of being installed. Passenger side had ...

ApproachMedium

Drivers side bar? All the part numbers I got from GM for these bars were the same for both sides, so it shouldnt matter. If anything maybe the front and rear matters but I do not recall seeing any arrows on mine when I got them. I did not install them though.

ApproachMedium

Unplug it and keep driving. After having my suspension and AC work done last month mine died and kept draining the battery. I yanked the plug, the ABS light stays on and I have not had any problems driving and stopping. Though, I am driving a heavily modified vehicle so your "mileage" may vary when ...

ApproachMedium

If you turn the key to run, without starting, and it works then maybe the fuse for the RAP is blown? I think theres a fuse for that i forget. Does anything work in the accessory position? The wipers and windows should work.

ApproachMedium

Center caps look good!

ApproachMedium

Who makes them and where can I find them? If i search it on Summit Racing they only show one Monroe model, and the compatibility chart only gives me for the first gen trucks and the ZR5 crew (not that much should be different there from mine) Any suggestions of brands etc? I know there is a small br...

ApproachMedium

Did you do the upgrade wire harness pigtail when you installed the new pump? Check your electrical connections. If someone else did the upgrade, its possibly a poor connection.

ApproachMedium

Where did you get your bushings and pins from? My buddy found using the GM OEM ones from the dealer, which arent even that expensive, last much much longer. I put the cheapo doorman ones on last summer and my two doors are already not exact. Im going to replace them with OEM next as the OEM bushing ...

ApproachMedium

So another V8 crew cab may be on the way. Looks like you will be #3, as far as I know. i am sure there are others but I havent seen or heard of them yet. Good luck with it. Mine wasnt too far from that when I got it at 190k with a new trans. The 4.3 lasted well until 260k when i cut whatever life it...

ApproachMedium

Just wait. These things Love to leak oil.

ApproachMedium

Do u mean the screw in switch with the ball on the bottom that the vacuum lines hook to? If so that seems high. They are like 16 at AutoZone DO NOT buy the 16 dollar autozone part. It breaks like the factory ones do. The 44 dollar ones from the dealer is what you want. They are the revised units th...

ApproachMedium

Yea its great! No spacers for me. Heard too many nightmare stories and on a truck with as much HP as this has I do not want a small piece of metal holding my wheels on come between me rolling and me wrecking it at 70mph.

ApproachMedium

So you have a 350 swap but you are not running the PCM only the BCM? To get the truck to program its going to need the PCM, BCM and key tumbler all on the serial bus. I know the PCM can be programmed to run in standalone without any of that but I have no idea if the BCM can be done the same way.

ApproachMedium

ZR-2 axles are so difficult to find, even if you had to rebuild it I wouldn't scrap it. I have been trying to find one for over a year now and finally got one only because of a project that got scrapped.

Even if mine experiences any problems ill do what I can to keep it around.

ApproachMedium

Last Monday Dave and I removed the rear axle which was donated to an Old Navy truck project on an S10 frame. http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w41/xk1llxy0urselfx/Crew%20Cab/20140616_172040_zpsnz8mjmvl.jpg http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w41/xk1llxy0urselfx/Crew%20Cab/FB_IMG_1402953746708_zpsduk...

A water jug-a-luger?

ApproachMedium

And how did that math account to your real world math? Mine seems to be right on the money on highway trips. Usually getting 16-19mpg with the V8 crusing at 70-75. Mixed driving+city the display will show 14-15mpg and is usually off by a whole MPG, and it is also off by almost a whole gallon of gas ...

ApproachMedium

The one pack of relays I have is either 4 or 5 units mounted to some thing. Its in the garage. Its of zero use to me so just send me a shout and ill ship it out. LOL

You are using photobucket, usually you can just post the thumbnail link or there is a fulsize link. It looks like the whole picture to me on my computer but that could be because i have a full HD monitor. Smaller resolution displays the forum i think crops the images. If you need anymore fancy autom...

ApproachMedium

Anything for your truck needs to come from a 2000 up, computer wise. Anything in a 98 or 99 truck is not going to like talking to the Class 2 serial data bus. That includes overhead console DIC, gauge clusters, bcms etc.

ApproachMedium

Id imagine its not easy. I paid almost a grand to have it done. You have to take the intake manifold off to get it out. While you are at it get a new set of gaskets for that, because they always end up leaking coolant at some point. Flush your system out and replace the Dex with the green if you are...

ApproachMedium

For the 4.3L engine stick with the stock one. Even with the V8 engine swap, the stock one seems to work good for that as well. If you are looking to get rid of the slushyness of the trans and get some better shift and throttle response a Corvette servo is an ideal cheap and simple upgrade for the 4L...

ApproachMedium

Thats the power connection for the fuel injector. The wires are for the fuel injection poppets. Its probably no good, if its original it should be replaced anyways as the original units were prone to leaking.

ApproachMedium

What really has to be done with VIN matching? The VIN on my PCM does not match my truck since the V8 swap. Its a random vin from some van they used. Once it came back after doing the whole 30 mins of key cycling and relearning the security system should allow it to run and trade all the info. It can...
