Be thankful you have priorities

Well, chicks dig the Harley more than the CC.

WVHogRider

I've now pushed myself to demand the 100K out of the CC before going through the he** of replacing this stuff. :wink: :lol: You could wait until 100k, however your mileage and performance will be declining by then. :( I would do a complete tune up around 65k to 75k miles, but that's just me. :wink:...

WVHogRider

I figured I'd swing by and see if there was any new revelation into replacing the wires, plugs, cap and rotor......I still got my replacements in the shipping box from Summit.....But the box has been moved from my kitchen table to the basement floor next to the Harley. :oops: I've now pushed myself ...

The double din radios have the cassette tape deck in the radio where as the 1.5 din have the tape deck down in the center console on the floor.

Bobblesmitty is just up in around Cleveland, and he has the cat back dual exhaust. The sound will all depend on what high flow muffler you decide on. There is no need for dual cats.

WVHogRider

Howdy there neighbor!!!

Not sure I'll be much help in modding department....He**, with my lack of time, I still got $200 worth of stuff sitting in my kitchen waiting to go on my truck.

This is like in the biker community....Most bikers will stop for a biker, or group of, stuck on the side of the road....You never know whether you might have an item/tool/suggestion that can help fix the problem. Heck, I saw a guy & woman on the side of an on ramp stopped on their scoot a while back...

You forgot to make room for me and my scoot.

J/K. Actually, you can e-mail me some of those pics. that f9k9 requested as well.

WVHogRider

Looks very good Jim. You done good.

I've never been into all of this computer stuff before. :!: After reading all the previous post, all I can say is "WHAT are you guys talking about, :?: GB what". However, I'm getting into it more and more. Once the ex-wife took her computer, a friend advised me to go with a laptop. It was being a yo...

Removing the rear rotors may take a little extra effort due to the parking brake shoe notoriously making a lip on the drum portion of the rotor causing it to catch. I've seen a few rotors even brake/crack trying to get them off over this lip, but not to worry since you are planning on replacing them...

WVHogRider

I've been running the Silverstars in the low beams only for about two years now. I had one burnout just 2-3 months ago. I still like how much better they are over stock.

WVHogRider

But it didn't do this at all last summer. I watched the gauge constantly last summer and it always hovered around the guestimated 180 to 190 area on the idiot gauge after the Jet 180*. I think they definitely replaced my thermo to a stock one.

WVHogRider

I've been wondering what's been going on with my temps, as well, and was wondering what I could do differently. :?: It has been in the 90's here lately, and I've noticed my temps hovering around 210 with my fan kicking on every now & again. This is with 85% rural highway driving, with very little st...

I will be sticking with the GM gear lube. Call me superstitious if you wish. my preference as well as GM's recommendation.

Take your Bosch 02 sensor and install it after the cat and replace your right bank 02 with the original GM 02 sensor that you just pulled from after the cat and see if that does anything. :wink: Steve OK, so I was reprogramming the truck to 93 a week or two ago, and the code PO141 showed without th...

1.25" is not too much. It's exactly what I'm running right now. It was just that CompleteValue also offers other widths.

Don't feel too bad, I'm on set 3 with 74K! I drive mine like it's a Ferrari. :evil: gotta love how they handle, that's why I won't lift mine.

WVHogRider

Yes, that's the ones you want, if you want the 1.25" spacers.

WVHogRider

Yes. Go ahead and take the panel off to see if anything came loose. What would it hurt? At the most, your window will either pop or not pop when you get everything back together. However, leave the window switch hooked up once you get the panel off so you can run the window up and down to find out w...

Hitting the door joggles the wiring in the window motor and switch. Hitting the door will work for a while, but the condition will slowly worsen to the point that no matter how many times you hit the door in a row that it just will not work anymore. :wink: And Yes, the popping is probably related to...

WVHogRider

Your window motor needs to be replaced. My window use to just stop moving whenever it felt like it. Dealership fixed it a couple months ago under warranty. The popping noise is probably due to it being out of alignment or the window motor gears slipping.

I never had a problem with 30x9's on stock rims, with no lift/fender cut mods. Everything was stock and I never rubbed once, but (as said on here several times before) every truck is slightly different. I thought someone had said they were able to fit 31's with stock tires and no mods (?). I didn't ...

I've been using Duralast Gold's from Autozone. They seem to be rather good.

WVHogRider

Well, I finally got the other center pin bolt the other day, and got the kit installed today, (with before/after pics.) :wink: However, I'd post pics, but the system keeps telling me I'm over my "disk limit" eventhough I opened a new folder in the gallery and tried to download them into it just as I...

Jigg's right. You need to replace your door pin & bushings.

WVHogRider

My Rapidfires, Accel Cap/rotor, and MSD wires are still sitting on my dinner table until I have a whole day to work on getting this stuff in. :wink: I looked/tried for more 20 minutes, but it started getting late, (~10pm with work the next morning). Maybe, I should do the body lift first.......... :...

WVHogRider

So is f9k9.......

But I still like the color.

WVHogRider

Yeah, they would probably work, if you went with a SMALLER tire than stock.

I like CENTERLINE wheels. Variety and I got to pick my BS.

WVHogRider

Centerline Sahara's, 15x8 with 5"BS.

Centerline allows you to pick your BS to a certain degree.

WVHogRider

I had to drill the two slides out of my brackets on a drill press, (one on the front brakes and one on the rear of the truck).

Nothing else worked.

WVHogRider

That Bites!!!!!!

WVHogRider

I'd check the slide pin operation of the caliper mounting bolts. I had a similar noise and Killian advised me to check'em and the pads. Sure enough, the pads were shot after under ~20K and the slide pins were seized causing uneven wear on the pads. Inside pads were completely shot and outers were li...

WVHogRider

Well, the kit showed up today.

The box was a mess, and I'm missing a center pin bolt. The box had a huge hole in it that someone had tried to tape shut. I'll have to get in touch with Ms. Montrose to see what happened, not that she'll know.

WVHogRider

Now where have I seen that Rapidfire picture before!

Sorry, I was going to post that in here a couple days ago, but got tied up with work. I still haven't installed them yet. I hope to install them within the next week or so.

WVHogRider

Check out Nitto Tires. They have a lower sidewall than most 4x4 tires, and you should be able to fit 20's under the stock height truck. One tire I saw list for the 20" came out to be 30.47 diameter which could possibly fit depending on BS of the rims you choose,( and if you do some tweaking to the t...

WVHogRider

Autozone wanted $55.99 for the cap alone, no rotor available, and still had to wait due to the cap not being a stocked item. :twisted: I paid $44.69 for the cap through Summit, plus I got the rotor, plugs, fuel filter, and MSD wires for only one $10.95 handling fee with no shipping fee.

I think Bobblesmitty used it on parts of his frame, but not sure about anybody else.

WVHogRider

The BSW kit plus shipping is $205 to my doorstep in WV.

The local spring shop wanted over $300 and insisted on just one added leaf.

WVHogRider

The pics all showed as the red X's for me. Can't view them. As for the parking brake, lubing the caliper slide pins will do nothing besides allow the disk brake assembly work properly. :wink: Not sure if you knew this or not. If you did know, ignore the remainder of the message. :wink: The parking b...

My parts from Summit just showed up. :nana: Accel cap and rotor, MSD wires, ACDelco Rapidfires, and ACDelco fuel filter. :D I can get close up pics of the Accel cap and rotor if anyone would like. I'll also get pics of the old cap and rotor, as well as watch for a fuel MPG gain. :shock: My MPG went ...

WVHogRider

It was just as gocntry had posted. $150 for the kit and roughly $50 no matter where they ship it to. I'll know the exact price on Monday when Ms. Montrose bills me.

WVHogRider

Ms. Montrose PM'd me back.

The kit will be made today, and will be shipped Monday.

WVHogRider

I figured I'd check for a reply tomorrow, and then use their actual webpage if I didn't hear back.

Accel Cap and Rotor, MSD plug wires, AC Delco Rapidfire plugs and fuel filter ordered. Looks like I may be getting dirty hands this weekend.

WVHogRider

I also told them I was sure that both CV shafts now had dirt in the grease so they replaced both axel shafts assemblies under warranty due to contamination. :D I probably got lucky, but it never hurts to try right. :wink: BTW, the replacement axels never had a boot come off even after another 60k m...

WVHogRider

I got the 100K mile warranty when I purchased the truck new, and I had my truck in for warranty work not too long ago, ~80K. That's when they pointed out my leaking CV's. They said that the fix would not be covered under the warranty, and that it would be ~$260 to fix both, as I one boot on each sid...

WVHogRider

Yep, That's it. When my CV's started leaking, I replaced the clamps with the screw adjusting radiator style clamps that Brule mentioned. I was unable to find clamps big enough at any of the various auto parts stores. I found them in a home improvement store, and it was a house dryer line clamp. They...

WVHogRider

Well, you never know when I'll actually get around to ordering the parts.

I won't actually decide 'til I actually order.

I'll probably still go with AC Delco's mentioned in the other thread.

Found my clunking/grinding/binding/tamborine noise.

While I had the air tools out, I just went ahead and threw some twists...

I'd probably buy another S-10 vehicle if they hadn't discontinued it. I like the small compact truck feel of it, yet I also like the versatility and maneuverability of the S-10.
