well im going towork on it after i get off work tomorrow. HJ, once i get the rear disk and brake off, do i just pull off the ebrake shoe and take apart the adjusting mechanism? then clean it, lube it, and put it back together and then readjust? ive never done this before so for for asking alot of Q'...

paintballrocker

well i just ordered new cap, rotor, wires, plugs, and a downstream O2 sensor. hoping this will help reduce the CO, plus the truck needed a tune up anyways haha

paintballrocker

thanks hj for the reply. i just had a chance to take alook at it, and the rear brake i mentioned that was the problem is seized up it appears. the shoe doesnt move at all when the parking brake is applied. do i just have to order a new shoe like this one, http://www.discountautoparts.com/item.wws?sk...

paintballrocker

i vote 33x12.5 to fill int he width of the flares. good lookin build. geuss youve been researching on the sfa section of s10forum?

paintballrocker

Cat inefficiency? O2 sensors degraded? Plugs weak? Sort of fishing here. I'm not sure. A good look at the ignition components and a Seafoam treatment might help? i thought all those things too, just thot id ask before i went fishing with new parts haha. oh i just did a seafoam treatent before i shi...

paintballrocker

Thanks HJ, you always have a quick reply!

on a seperate note, any idea what could cause me having a high CO content in my emissions? it failed cause of that too

paintballrocker

i have a 12" rockford shallow mount and it fits great! i have a thread and pics up, search for it

paintballrocker

i just got over at my base un the uk and im getting my CC in order to get resigestered for uk. it failed on a couple things that i already kno how to fix, but one thing was the right rear ebrake didnt hold firm enough. jw if anyone has any advice on how to adjust id be indept to you!

paintballrocker

paintballrocker

i just drilled a hole through the front passenger floor board, put in a rubber grommet, and ran my wires underneath the carpet.

what kind of subs are you lookin to put in the CC? cause i had a hard time fitting subs and boxes that would fit, but i finally found a good one that fits

paintballrocker

ive been wanting to do this for awhile, i might end up getting around to do it while on leave before going overseas. if i have this correct its 1/3 bottle in tank, oil, and brake booster line?

paintballrocker

what would be some good sites to get a waterproof relay from? i need it cause i have the quad beam mod and the cheap relays from autozone keep crapin out cause of moister.

paintballrocker

on s10forum, ive read off road direct has a leaf sprung bolt/weld on kit for first and second gen s10's. it looks well designed

paintballrocker

hey just thought id post over here for the ppl that dont go to s10forum much.

http://www.s10forum.com/forum/f221/02-c ... ct-440877/

its a HPD30/8.8 combo and 33's. looks good so far

paintballrocker

i sliced my sidewall with trail riding at my families cabin in everett pa. the slice is about 2" long, and the hole through the side wall is small, my house key doesnt even fit through the hole. i was just wondering if a tire shop might be able to repair it so i can kep it as a trail spare. also how...

paintballrocker

Alpine PDX-5 has 75 watts RMS x 4 and 300 watts RMS x 1.
RF P3L-S12 is rated 100-400 watts RMS.

how does it sound? i have my kenwood KAC-7204 that is 500wt RMS bridge, 1000wt max. and it THUMPS my RF P3. im glad you went with the set up i have. i know youll like it and it sounds good.

paintballrocker

you cant just buy one and install it, the 2door blazers have the tire carrier welded under neath the rer quarter. search this forum, HJ has a mod thread on his rear tire carrier i think its off a rodeo(?) not sure tho

paintballrocker

i was checking the mail today and i noticed a postcard from GM saying that any one owning a 2000-2003 S10 or sanoma should check the tailgate cables. and if they are damaged at all they will be replaced for free. anyone else get this postcard?

paintballrocker

its just like any of the other 2" lift kits, junk. all it does is gives you new tbar keys which will let you lift the front out of safe specs. and the rear is just a shackle lift. if your serious about a lift just do a tbar crank and shackles or add a leafs, and if that not enough then add a 2" body...

paintballrocker

dont yell to much, but i have a Q lol. the other day my quad beams quit working, only my high beams came on. so today i pulled the headlight asembly and everything is wried correctly, no connections came loose or anything. what so you think it could be? should i try replacing the relay first?

thanks

paintballrocker

i like it. nice job. dont flame me here, but i think a little bit of a stinger on the front of it would look killer

paintballrocker

just wenrt out to solder my connections, took about 10 minutes. but i see what you guys mean by the splice connectors being crappy. i barely touched one and a wire came lose out of it

paintballrocker

I guess the mod page needs updating if it says to use them. Sorry.

its fine, i still appreciate the info

Now, that I can finally solder, I am going back over several electrical mods

ill be doing the same thing as soon as it cools down, its 100 degrees here right now.

paintballrocker

It does it only when 35% or more power is applied and turning

sounds like ball joints?

paintballrocker

I hope you did it right the first time and soldered the connections. I had to go back and do that

i must of missed that part. i used the splice connectors and heatshrink tubing/electrical tape to do the connections. i did it the same way you posted how to do it in the MOD section.

paintballrocker

just did this and i love it. cost $10. tahnks HJ for the info

paintballrocker

i like the switch mount idea

paintballrocker

look up the marvelous mystery lift thread, its somewhere around here. bassically its a 2' body lift, torsion bar crank, and either rear shackle or add a leaf. all of which any mechanically inclinded person can do with basic hand tools. that will give you around 3-4" of lift, not including the lift o...

paintballrocker

glad to see you made it over here man. hope i helped you enough with the 2" lift over on s10forum

paintballrocker

http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o387/paintballrocker92/subnboxnamp.jpg heres the sub and box and amp. all i had to do is remove the rear trim peice. the amp is mounted on the back wall with heavy duty velco so i can easily remove it http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o387/paintballrocker92/clean...

i got my grey one colectiong dust in my basement

paintballrocker

Did you have the pre-cat deleted? nope cause of emissions testing Is the new main cat bigger than the stock cat? not sure, i know the new cat is smaller in length. its 3' in/out with a 4" body where the honey comb stuff is located Kinda like having the difference between a partly empty can (old cat...

paintballrocker

paintballrocker

looks like ill have to push the wheel idea back now again. my tranny just started slipping today really bad, had to limp it home

paintballrocker

well i got the new cat put in today, no more rattling lol. but i have a odd Q now. since the new cat was put in i put 30mi on it so far and ive noticed my exhaust tone has gotten alot quiter and higher pitched, it used to be a nice deep tone but now can harrdly be heard. any thought as to why it did...

paintballrocker

yea the 1.5" of space is with a tire up on a curb, on flat ground i have 2"+ of space. now im gona stick with my 30x9.5's because they only have 10k on them. So HJ correct me if im misunderstanding, but with going to the 15x8 wheel with 5" BS ill lose over half of the 1.5" of clearence? if so thats ...

paintballrocker

THanks HJ, I measured and have 1.5" from the closest point of the wheel to the fender edge. Is that enough clearence for a 15x8 with 5" bs?

paintballrocker

i finally have the extra cash to get new wheels like ive been wanting. right now i have a tbarcrank/add a lead lift and 30x9.5 tire on stock wheels. the new wheels im looking at are 15x8 with 5" of backspacing. do you think i can fit these wheels with little to no rubbing?

paintballrocker

DLP, is your CC lifted? im asking cause i only have a tbar crank with 30's and im looking into getting aftermarket wheels (5" bs for front, 3.5" bs for rear) but im afraid they might rub

paintballrocker

does the pre cat affect emissions? because the guy said he isnt sure if he could legally delete it if it does because of the emisions laws in PA. but he said he'll look at it friday and see if it can be deleted

paintballrocker

data on the wheels is 15"x8" 5x4.75 -27mm 3.5"

your problem is the negitive offset and the 3.5" of back spacing, like said earlier the stock size is 6" of backspacing. the only way to get rid of the rubbing is to either lift it or cut alot of the fender/wheel well

paintballrocker

well my new cat came in thursday. im pretty impressed with JEGS, i ordered it tuesday and it was at my door after work on thursday. the shop is gona get me in friday the 18th. do you think it would be a good idea to have the pre cat deleted?

paintballrocker

wow i cant believe i missed that. lol thanks

paintballrocker

ok so the stock size of the inlet/outlet of the cat is 3"?

paintballrocker

i wish mine had 80,000 haha. mine sadly has 147,XXX

paintballrocker

My stock cat is bad; rattling, loss of power, shitty gas mileage. anyways im going to order a hi flow cat and just need to know what size inlet/outlet i need so it fit the factory exhaust. im considering the magnaflow spun cat, would that be a good choice? thanks also when i take it to the exhaust s...

paintballrocker

It pains me to say it, but ive been considering selling my CC to get a more gas efficent vehicel. But im lost on what to price it as and was wondering if i could get some honest opions here. Kelly Blue Book says my CC is valued at $6200, but i think i could get more cuz of the mods i have done. Ill ...

paintballrocker

paintballrocker

thanks for the tip fallvitals. idk why but my bumper (i have an '02) had a dozen of the push clips going around the bumper. it was a major PITA, it only took me 3 hours to remove it and put everything back on

paintballrocker

i cracked the plastic front valence the other day. just wondering how to remove it?

thanks

paintballrocker

I ran atleast two sets of 30x9.5's without hitting and no torsion bar crank or Boise kit.

i have 30x9.5 with just a tbar crank

paintballrocker

Wonder how much our frames are flexing!

if you look in my pic you can see the front of the bed is lower than the cab corner. which means its flexing there because the cab n bed are ussually even with each other on flat ground.

paintballrocker

i was going to so i could get more flex out of the IFS,but it was 10* outside that morning and i didnt feel like messing with it lol

paintballrocker

lets see your CC flexing.

best ive got so far, btw i still had the sway bar attached

paintballrocker

any specs on the size of the box, i think i might try to make my own. i just need demension ideas

paintballrocker

thats a good argument lol

paintballrocker

paintballrocker

yeah but before i used engery i figured id ask you guys lol

paintballrocker

ive been wanting to install a sub in the CC for awhile now, so i decided to sell my xbox 360 lol. i kno theres sub box made from supercrewsound.com for the CC's, but i found this and was wondering if anyone knew of it would fit. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7550_Sonic+Sub+Box-+2T8-1.2+-+2TRUC...

paintballrocker

HJ did it, look on the mod page

paintballrocker

ive noticed that even just going from 235/75/15 to 30x9.5 my MPG's decreased, but that might just be from the aggresive tread.

paintballrocker
