Was only able to stop by NAPA on the way home last night. Emergency at home, Air Conditioner died, 100* humidity 98. Anyway NAPA could only check my battery charge with motor running showed 13.8 volts. I hope to get by Oreilies today where they can check my alternator output.

Horsehammerr

OK, after reading 4 pages with tons of information, my mind is close to over load. Can I ask what the final application procedure and parts list is , to do this swap to the AD244 alternator ? There seem to be a lot of ways to go about this. I simply need to know what I need and how to go about it in...

I've noticed lately , when I start my truck the gauge reads like always a little over 14. But now as I warm up on down the road my gauge has dropped to about 12.5. This is with all elec. acc. off. Is this a sign of a major problem ?

Horsehammerr

No loss is easy, Help is in Jesus the Lord.

Horsehammerr

Thanks for all your assistance in this search Jongo88 . It's always good to have at least one member pay attention to others problems. Especially when the directions are first hand experience .

Horsehammerr

Is this thing located under where the fuel lines go down the back of the block or where ? I just don't seem to be able to find it.

Horsehammerr

I don't have a problem with removing the distributor , but I'm not sure about the fuel lines. What is the right way to do that part of the Knock Sensor change ?

Horsehammerr

Does anyone have a picture of any kind showing the location of this Knock Sensor, I really like to see what I'm aiming at.

Horsehammerr

I wonder if this knock sensor could be affected by the lower coolant temp from the 180 degree thermostat I run in summer time. Or do they just wear out like the wonderful O2 sensors we were Blessed with ? If so is there maybe a better way?

Horsehammerr

Thanks Jongo88 ! I'll check it out tomorrow, my weekend.

Horsehammerr

I'm not sure where this Knock Sensor is located . Can you show me ?

Horsehammerr

Thanks for the deep research Roadrunner. I'll try to understand and look at this from that information. Won't have the time until Wednesday, so I'll let you know then. Probably end up like Jongo88 and just change the KS along with the new O2's.

Horsehammerr

Got the old P0135 - Bank1 Sensor1 ( dang O2 sensor ) , combined with P0327 - Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Low Input Bank 1 or Single Sensor. The second code has me stumped. Can a bad O2 sensor cause low voltage to the knock sensor ? I really don't know what to make of this reading. I will for sure put new...

Horsehammerr

With my T bars cranked all the way and front end realigned I got 1 1/2 " lift. I put on 3" over stock length rear shackles for 1 1/2 " rear lift. Read my mod list to see the rest. I have found no need for Add-a- leafs. You will see I have Skidz cut both fenders and my ZR5 flares to clear 30 x 9.5 ti...

Or get on the Interstate where the miles are marked and see if your odometer matches the mile markers.

Check out S10Extremist.org , They have a lot to say about IFS and SAS. With lots of HOW TO's and amazing economic solutions, all tried and true.

Horsehammerr

All cleaned up and Dielectric Silicone lubed. Everything working well.

Horsehammerr

I'll do the clean and lube later today but, after finding the connection and just jiggling it a little the temp gauge is now working. I'd say that's a for sure sign it needs cleaning, along with all the rest of the elec. connections. Thanks for the wake up HenryJ and Jongo88.

Horsehammerr

Sure enough pulled up behind a car at a light on my way to work today and the low beams are on with the DRLs. Im not too concerned except that my $30 philips fancy white bulbs may not last as long. Whats involved with a relay etc to kill the low beam when the DRL is on? I guess I could always remov...

Horsehammerr

Thanks for the Pic. Jongo88. This is a major help, and you are right about the PITA. Right between two of the hardest to reach plugs. Thanks GM engineering !

Horsehammerr

Sounds like a good place to look. Can you point me to that temp sender plug ?

Horsehammerr

I'll get on ASAP. Have been into mid to upper 90's here with 80 percent plus humidity. Been like this since end of May. Every summer we live in a natural Spa.

Horsehammerr

Thanks HJ, I will go through the whole electric system and clean it up and , lube with what ?

Horsehammerr

My Temp Gauge comes on when the key is turned on , but when turned to start and engine is running the gauge reads flat to the left, as in 100*. This also makes the engine run extremely rich , so rich , I think I can see the fuel gauge going down as I drive. HELP ?

If you are parked where your truck won't roll away on you, put it in neutral with parking brake OFF and you can walk around to see your four headlights on.

Any word on the HPIII tuner ?

Seems to me jvo11 must mean motorized seats, as in powered.

Got it finished in ONLY 3.5 hrs. So much fun crawling around in the grass in my front yard. Some day I hope to have a shop that's heated and air conditioned, with a lift. Dreams do happen. I am amazed at the firm shift I'm getting, must have needed the flush more than I thought. 8) Anyone got a HPII...

Horsehammerr

OH YEAH !! We forgot

You have to pull the shift cable out of that niffty little bracket so you can take those two wonderfully engineered 10mm bolts out. Then SUCK ATF as you let the pan down.

Horsehammerr

Different tread pattern and construction design. Most brands of same size #'s are 1/2 to a full inch taller and wider either way. I have no need for up size as I simply trail around nice and easy. My wheel size and back spacing made it a need to do the Skidz cuts to my wheel wells and ZR5 flares. My...

I'm running 30 x 9.5 x 15 Hankook DynaPro ATM. When I'm going to snow or mud I put 10 concrete blocks in the bed, they are 35 lbs. each for 350 lbs total. I put them up against the cab and lock them there with a board across the back. I've never had a slipping problem. As long as I don't gun the mot...

Horsehammerr

I too would like to attain your HP111 tuner. Is it compatible to my '02 CC ? If so please make me an offer.

Horsehammerr

Ok, I'll look it over, how much can I actually lift the trany ?

Horsehammerr

I'm getting ready to do a Redneck Tranny Flush. I got my '02 CC all up and secure to start and the first thing I see is this row of pan bolts across the rear that are over this cross member. Whats the best way to get these out and torqued back in ? Do I have to remove this cross member for access ? ...

Never !! Find a reason to sell your Harley !!

Actually, the paperwork from the refinery shows an average Octane Rating of 120's to 130's. I've NEVER (in over 10 years of taking deliveries) seen less than 120.

I'll do that. I just topped off with 12.8 gals. of Phillips 66 91oct. I figure after a couple fillups it should be 100% premium. I'll keep the best records I can and pass them along

Horsehammerr

Tried premium non alcohol in mine and it did not pencil out. Slightly better mpg but not enough more to offset the higher price compared to regular non alcohol gas. Before anybody asks I did a five tank comparison of both over the same roads in the same conditions. There's my :2: worth. 8) If non a...

Horsehammerr

I was just made aware of a change here in good ole Mo. Our premium gas no longer has any corn alcohol in it. I know that crap is a big problem with MPG. I wonder if .20 cents extra per gallon will be worth it ??

Horsehammerr

The only reason I ask about this, is because it would help to upgrade the Torsion Bars to 3/4 ton for the purpose of slowing the downward motion at the front-end. I don't want to have to lift the suspension or the body to keep from hitting the top of my tires on the upper wheel well opening. I don't...

Horsehammerr

Thanks HJ, You really went all out on this list. I'm seeing a lot clearer now. I think the posi-trac front would be nice, but not at a SFA extreme. I'm already in route to a MML and can see that as an end result that I can be comfortable with.

Horsehammerr

Where is this info. on Mike ?

Horsehammerr

[quote="Horsehammerr"]Well, I guess the SAS is the better way. Just have a tough time figuring out which front end to use with which suspension ? :blink: :?: 8) Like I said. :surrender: What is the most reasonable, reliable, economical setup to go for ?

Well, I guess the SAS is the better way. Just have a tough time figuring out which front end to use with which suspension ?

I don't want to be six feet in the air with semi size tires. Just the traction of front posi is my main desire.

Horsehammerr

I really would like to have a Posi-trac frontend in my '02 CC. It would sure help if this could be done without going through all the hassle of an SAS conversion. Is there a way to do this ?

Horsehammerr

Yes but most of us in the Heart of our country don't freak with a little weather. Just lock'em in and go.

Horsehammerr

I'm sure Federal DOT says no other Illuminating lights can be on with Low Beam sitting on a motor vehicle. I'll try to find the Code #.

Horsehammerr

Well it does look like everyones springs bend like their supposed to !

Horsehammerr

You said you replaced the Idler Arm, how about the Pitman Arm ? If you did not , you will be soon ! The Idler has been a major weak point in our steering system . It directly affects the Pitman. When one is bad , you have to change both or you WILL go through the tear it down process again. Suggest ...

Horsehammerr

Well, ok it's all back together and works just like it used to.

Now lets see if this new connector makes it last 15-20 years like Chevy says it's supposed to.

Horsehammerr

How about a sticker that matches the logo ? Say right at 10" long , to fit the center rear window or where ever else you like.

New AC Delco # MU1751 fuel pump came today. :shock: The connector that fits the connection on it is NOT like original. Instead of four prongs in a square connector it has four in horizontal elongated connector. Well after calling Tech and getting straight on which wire is which, I got the new connec...

Horsehammerr

Just wonder how much ground clearance was lost with this upgrade ?

Horsehammerr

Tell them to SHOVE their extended warranty. Even Consumers Report advises this to be only in manufacturers interest.

Gotcha, I do understand the wire part. I thought about what I had said about the liquid flow and realized I'd said exactly the opposite of what I thought I meant to say. :crazy: Thanks for sitting me straight. :blink: Anyway, I will be making these splices with solder and shrink wraps before I put t...

Horsehammerr

I just pulled my connector wires out of the shield chevy put them in and see that the gauge of wire in the original is way smaller on two wires. My new connector has the big size for all four. Won't going from small to large cause resistance in power flow. In liquid that will increase pressure, but ...

Some of us that run ZR5's have done the Skidz cut to our fenders and matched the cutz to the stock flares. Looks good and doesn't cost $600 for the extra 1/2" of coverage.

Horsehammerr

Any Idea what to look at for the cause of this intermittent failure ?

Horsehammerr

I'd say NO. I know the rear fenders are from Isuzu and totaly unlike ZR2 , the fronts have a different opening size and flare to the edge. The old S-10Crewcab.com site had a list of Mods. with discriptions and pictures that had all you would need to do the Skidz cuts to your fenders, but I don't kno...

I don't guess I knew there were three parts. I was only aware of the pump and the fuel gauge, or is that the sender ? If so mine works great. I just wondered if I could install an inline pump and pull the gas through the intank pump?

Horsehammerr

I've been having these thoughts about this junk intank fuel pump system we all put up with on our S-10 Crewcabs. Is there not a way to modify our fuel delivery system to an out of tank pump ? There has to be a way.
