Good luck with the mods.

I was a little confused when I saw the picture of my truck on your Photobucket.

Anyone?

Has anyone seen this before? What do you think?

I'm glad you didn't get the Avalanche with the plastic all over it. It looks good. I can't wait to see it after your modifications.

So are we changing the name of the website to AllChevyCrewCabs.net?

14x4

No pictures? Or do we have to wait until it's done?

I'm very sad to see the ThunderII go, BTW.

14x4

Have you only posted the ad on Craigslist and S-10CrewCab?

14x4

Thanks for the info. I will go lube up my torsion bar sockets. As for an even amount of wear on the tires... maybe not. I just had my tires rotated but I should have done it a long time ago. They might have different wear.

14x4

I've debated this mod for a while, but still haven't made up my mind one way or the other. I guess I may decide after I get my next two projects finished. Engine swap in an 03 Montana van, and brakes on the front of my 05 Equinox. I just installed a Jet throttle body spacer in my truck a couple wee...

I finally had the time and money to bring my truck to the mechanic. My two problems were the ABS/BRAKE light being on, and that damned noise coming from the front right side. They diagnosed the vehicle. Concerning the ABS light, the mechanic was at first unsure of the reason it was on. He couldn't f...

I almost teared up when I opened this thread. I wanted to see the Thunder II in person in Moab.

I thought the same thing. How depressing.

Very cool pictures, HJ. I wish I could do all that awesome stuff out by me.

Any knowledge of the Free Masons symbol above the cave entrance?

They're made by a company called Manik. I bought them on Ebay. From what I remember they weren't easy to find. Check Manik's website (or websites which sell Manik equipment) and Ebay. I'm not sure if they are discontinued or not.

14x4

Thanks! The guy just spray painted it with latex paint or whatever. It looks fine in the pictures but in person you can really tell it's just spray paint. I'm going to get it professionally painted with auto body paint to match the truck. A couple of my friends suggested the lit license plate frames...

14x4

Thanks Dozer.

Anyone know of an easy lighting mod I can do for my license plate? I can, of course, just drill holes and install the existing license plate lights, but I just wanted to see if there was anything easier.

14x4

Instead of extensively modifying my hitch to fit on the truck and then adding some sort of rear tow-points, I decided to just have a custom bumper made. It has two shackle mounts and a 2" hitch receiver built into it. I told him to give it enough flat space so that he could add a spare tire carrier ...

HenryJ wrote:Did you pull a sensor and check it for metal debris?

I tried. It's difficult to get to considering I have a limited amount of tools and space to work on my truck. I will do it as soon as I figure out arrangements.

14x4

Have you done any panic stops lately that engaged the ABS? Steve I don't really recall. Why do you ask? What I'm trying to figure out is if the ABS and E-brake light occurrence is in any way related to the horribly annoying thud that has been coming from what seems like the front-right wheel area.

14x4

I bought the hub and bearing assembly at an auto parts store. I met up with a friend of mine who knows far more about auto-mechanics than I do. I took him for a ride in my truck so he could hear the noise I described. He said it couldn't be the hub/bearing because it doesn't make a screeching sound ...

14x4

Wheel speed sensor? Is in the front hub. Check the wire and connections first. Then pull the sensor from the front hub. They can fill up with metal when a wheel bearing is going bad. If the grease is full of metal a new hub / bearing assembly is in your future. If my wheel hub or bearing was bad, w...

My ABS light is on all the time, but it is due to a mismatched BCM.

What?! So Hummers are getting better gas mileage than us, now?

Nice truck, by the way.

14x4

My ABS and break light are staying on sometimes when my truck is on. Could this be related to the programmer? I am not experiencing any problems other than the lights themselves.

14x4

Extra flares?! I like it.

14x4

You're telling me!

But it's all done and over with... and I'm liking the firmer shifting.

14x4

Thank you!

14x4

Should I change the shift points? I wasn't sure about that one...

14x4

Success!

I changed my octane to 93, I changed the tire size to 32.75" and I chose firmer shifting (it's really noticeable!).

Any objections?

14x4

I'll give it a try and report back, thanks.

14x4

When I installed the radio, from what I remember, it was simply unplugging the old one and plugging in the new one (inside the dash). I didn't mess with any fuses.

14x4

Alright. I removed the fuse for the radio. However, neither the fuel gauge nor the odometer work when I take the radio fuse out. Is this normal? Should I proceed with the programming even though this is happening?

14x4

I just called Hypertech. Like I assumed, they asked for my name, among other things. It made it kind of awkward because I couldn't lie to the man. He insisted I wasn't the original owner. Oh well. I told him about the "7E" code. He said it was electrical interference. He told me to have my radio off...

14x4

Looks good!

kwalsh wrote:14x4, let me know if you would like for me to speak with Hypertech if you don't get resolution from them. I'm glad I saved the packing slip.

Did the USPS box show up with any damage? (I insured the shipping.)

Alright, will do!

The box seems to have no damage, aside from a crease or two.

14x4

So I'm guessing they won't ask my name? I can't impersonate him!

14x4

Kwalsh did include the packing slip which has the order #, order date, customer number, etc.

14x4

I did do it with the door open today, but no lights were on what-so-ever. Also, last night I tried with the door closed. I got the same results each time.

I will post the results after I talk to Hypertech on Tuesday.

14x4

Tried it again today. Same results; code 7E. I will have to reset my PCM again. I'll wait until Tuesday to contact Hypertech's tech support.

14x4

Yes. After leaving my battery disconnected for 45 minutes, the truck started back up. However, I'm assuming, the programming wasn't successful. I will try again today. I just hope that the battery-disconnect will work again, that is, if the truck were to die again. Should I be worried about my PCM i...

You ain't wheelin' it hard enough if, it holds it snugly. You gotta hit those "Old Navy" outlet curbs a little harder.

I struggle to take the thing out by hand. It ain't going no where.

I don't remember removing the ashtray being that big of a deal.

Is this possible with our trucks? I'm guessing there has to be some flaw or else we would have seen people doing this already.

http://www.trailslesstraveled.com/artic ... ft-height/

Is our stock IFS and rear axle too weak to support 35's?

Thoughts?

14x4

Paintball, weren't you selling your truck? Or did I imagine that?

14x4

I would have put an AD244 in my truck, but I got a good deal on a DR44G. Just installed it yesterday and it seems to be working fine - if anyone cares.

14x4

Was the tow strap attached to the axle?

I'll be sure to get plenty of pictures next time.

14x4

My truck looked just like yours! I even had grass hanging off the grille guard too. Like I said, I sprayed all of it off. :roll: As for the following pictures - I used to get my four-wheeler that dirty when I had it, but I don't want my truck that dirty! I like trail-riding, not mud bogging! :wink:

14x4

Well I didn't take any pictures last night and I sprayed off most of the mud when I got home, but...

My wheels are still dirty! Does that count?

14x4

I forgot to mention: later that night, to celebrate, I went off-roading with a buddy of mine and got the rig covered in mud.

It did surprisingly well on some difficult trails compared to my friend's 1500 Ram.

Thanks guys!

The 4x4 club I'm going to join sponsored a truck show today. I had been planning on going for the past month but actually registering my truck was a decision made just last night.

So what is it again, that makes people want to sell their trucks after a major lift? Ride quality? Gas mileage?

I threw out the bracket. Because of the position I installed the radio, the bracket was not needed. When you completely remove the ash tray, all you need to do is file (or cut if you choose) a little plastic lip, and the radio will fit very snugly in that position. Believe it or not, my CB will not ...

It's too bad about your truck - but it is understandable.
If you decide to sell the HPIII, I'm interested.
