Your water temp should be controlled by your thermostat.

It can be a 20* day, and your temps should be in the 190-200* range.

I'll be installing a 170* thermostat in the near future. And expect to see coolant temps under 200* ALL THE TIME.

I stole this off a post at EFILive.. I am not taking responsibility for its content but felt it was worth sharing... I plan on doing this to my ZR5 very soon and figured someone else maybe interested in it. When do you own transmission fluid/filter change, you can also change the fluid in your torqu...

Uh, backwards. Lower gearing = higher RPMS The Bonne was actually geared higher, had less HP and about 400 lbs more curb weight yet got better mileage! Go figure :!: Yea yea lower or higher, whatever. Lower numerically = lower RPM@cruise.....it's a difference in our point of reference.....you got t...

It's kinds funny that the Malibu doesn't get 30mpg, esepcially considering it's not that large. Our 2003 Bonneville would always get at least 30mpg on road trips. I took a few by myself for work and got 32! That's also running at least 75mph and the Bonneville is a larger, heavier car than the Mali...

While a cool gadget I think is certainly a nicer overall product. About $100 more expensive than the Think Geeks deal, but certainly a better fit into the the interior IMO.

$90 is kinda pricey, but that is exactly what I am looking for....Thanks for the link. THe pictures of them installed on a Crew made sure it was a 100% positive match for what I'm looking for.

I really gotta quit spending money though

I bought a set of in channel for the first time. I have always had the kind that mount to the exterior rubber. I must say, as far as "clean lines" go, these in lines are "it." Much less noticable IMO. I always felt like I had to look around the other style when going around curves to the left. (If ...

I remember reading a thread on the in-channel visors....I think somebody mentioned that they didn't work with our windows?? :? .....because the window makes a very tight seal with the weather stripping & the in-channel visors prevent the window from closing all of the way. Can anyone help? Sure hop...

I used to have these on my Ranger, and haven't had them for about 6 years because I don't like the appearance of them on the Xtreme. Starting to think I'd like to have them again on the ZR5, and appearance isn't as large of an issue since the truck is a bit more "utilitarian" than the Xtreme, and al...

I'm thinking that when I had to put the rearmost TB bolt BACK in after I already had the intake on that I knocked it loose.... At any rate I'm going to go out and do some data logging here in a minute to verify for 100% sure that is the problem. AutoTap goes in the mail to California tomorrow :(.......

2kwik4u

Well I am teh dumbass......PCV system was either forgotten to get hooked up, or "blew off".....if it comes off again I'll know it wasn't my fault....If not then I'll take the beating for being an idiot, and not checking that first....what a dumbass eh?!?!

2kwik4u

The FIPKs are notorious for coming loose unless really cranked down. I am sure you would have checked for this but, I'd just wanted to make sure. I would expect if the leak was real big it would cause some driveability issues.....which I have none. Truck runs like a champ, just had a SES light now :(

2kwik4u

Well again, I do feel bad but I hope everything works out in the end. Don't feel bad. There is NO wrong doing on your part. I bought the stuff from you trusting your description, and everything came in EXACTLY as described. I didn't do my homework on the floormats, and the intake issue just needs t...

2kwik4u

Yea the rear mat will probably hang around for awhile. I'm trying to figure out if I can have it cut up by a relative I have that does upholstery, and make it fit.

It'll all work out in the end, just a matter of how I get there.

2kwik4u

Yea the front mats are CLOSE to fitting right. The rear isn't even close....No big deal on that. Don't feel bad, it's all part of the hobby. It jsut added up on me all at once :D The intake didn't change in the process. Due to TOlerance stack ups, and atmospheric conditions, and a whole sle of other...

2kwik4u

:( What the hell?? Do you think it has to do with the hookup around the throttle body? Maybe those extra parts were needed for a reason? Did you try leaving the battery disconnected after installing it? Maybe it needs to adjust and "relearn" with the intake? That really sucks because it logged many...

Congrats on the new dailys....both of you.

That 2.2 will serve you well for years to come. I've got the same setup 2.2/5spd in my Xtreme, and it gets great milage, tolerable power, and has lasted well for the 185k miles I've driven it in the last 6 years!

EH, not so great now.....Throwing codes, that I can only think are caused by the intake. Fuel Trim Lean Bank 2 is the code.

I wouldn't move the axle back.....That leads to a mess of getting the rear wheel centered in the opening....

The 2wd guys that have moved to an 8.5 (for power reasons), have typically shortened the shaft ~1" or so.

Best bet is to throw it in there, and measure.

2kwik4u

I hadn't thought of it that way, but I suppose it could be.....If I had better access to the BCM I'd try since pulling a pin from the connector is not all that hard.

Hell just a serchable text document of the forums would do wonders to keep that info around.

Hate to see ZR2.com go.....I got as much if not more info there as I did from SSF

Took the ZR5 apart last Thursday to send a piece of the intake to a fellow board member. He just traded the truck, and was selling the K&N FIPK off it, however he needed a part of the stock intake to be able to replace his missing piece. So the ZR5 has been sitting in the garage for a week now, and ...

thanks for the info. so, is this white wire the one that grounds the fog light relay? sounds like it is. but if you ground this wire, the fog light will be on anytime the parking lights are on, right??? meaning you cant turn them off, separate from the parking lights? 100% correct......I would put ...

2kwik4u

BCM controls LOTS of stuff.....I'm thinking the DRL module is included in that....No idea how it's done though. I know the gauge cluster processes it's own serial data. As does the stock radio (thats how speed sensitive sound works). I think there are some other "consumers" of the serial data from t...

2kwik4u

Not sure that there is a DRL module......although I'm not 100% sure of that.

The white wire runs from the fuse block to the BCM....You can cut it, and ground it to enable the foglights, or you can splice into it and ground it.....doesn't matter I don't think.

2kwik4u

The DRL are also controlled by the BCM I believe.

If you want to disable teh DRL's you can usually just break two prongs off a relay in the relay box, and the DRL's go away......at my Xtreme worked that way.

Grounding the white wire will enable the fog lights anytime the parking lights are on.

2kwik4u

I've been adding foglights to an otherwise non-equiped truck (on my Xtreme)......YOu need to gound a white wire from the BCM when you want the fog lights on. It's a fairly simple relay wiring job. I've got it setup on the Xtreme that when the parking lights are on, the foglights are on. I'll try to ...

Yikes......I personally despise the flowmaster sound. Chambered mufflers resonate like crazy, and have a tendency to drone a bit as well in my experience. Get a Magnaflow. 2.5" single in/out.

Can you do this and still maintain the same emissions, or will they go up due to less PCM control? How soon do you plan on doing this to your truck? :D Steve The PCM will have the same control.
